565 Flow Meter

Compact, Precise Flow Measurement for Industrial and Regulator-Mounted Applications

The 565 Series 65mm (2.6″) variable area flowmeters offer inherent simplicity, versatility and economy in a precision flow instrument. The compact size of the 65mm (2.6″) scale is preferred in industrial panel-mounting applications and for direct mounting to a pressure regulator.

Flow readings from the millimeter scale are converted to actual flow using the calibration chart provided with the flowtube. WestAir offers a wide variety of flowtube and float combinations to provide the optimum flow range for your application.
