Variable Area Flow MeterFAM3200 Metal Tube

A simple, versatile solution for liquid and gas flow measurement

The McMenon FAM3200 Metal Tube Variable Area Flowmeter is a reliable and flexible flow measurement solution, designed to suit a wide range of industrial applications involving both liquids and gases. Its rugged metal tube construction and compact design make it particularly well-suited for environments where space is limited or where process conditions are too demanding for traditional glass tube flowmeters.

With its short lay length, the FAM3200 is ideal for tight installations and retrofit projects, offering quick and simple integration into existing systems without compromising measurement accuracy. This makes it an excellent choice for facilities looking to upgrade or modernise flow monitoring with minimal disruption.

The FAM3200’s versatility is one of its key strengths. It is available with a broad selection of process connection options, transmission methods, and alarm configurations, making it adaptable to a variety of systems and process requirements. Whether you’re operating in chemical processing, manufacturing, water treatment, or any other process-driven industry, this flowmeter can be configured to fit your needs.

This model is particularly effective when used with aggressive or opaque media, where visibility and material compatibility are concerns. Unlike glass tube flowmeters, which may be limited by pressure and temperature constraints, the metal tube design of the FAM3200 ensures reliable performance under more demanding conditions.

Each unit can be precisely scaled to meet the required accuracy class, in full compliance with VDI/VDE standards, giving operators confidence in the measurement data being collected.

Offering a combination of durability, ease of use, and measurement flexibility, the McMenon FAM3200 is a dependable choice for industries seeking straightforward, cost-effective flow monitoring without sacrificing performance.
