Variable Area Flow Meters
VA Master FAM540 Metal Cone Variable Area Flowmeter
Engineering flow and temperature excellence — for liquids, gases and steam
Product overview
Metal Tube — FAM540
The VA Master FAM540 is a metal cone variable area flowmeter for measuring liquids, gases and steam. A graphical 2-line LCD display and magnet stick operation allow configuration even with the housing closed, and the device is easily adjustable for new operating conditions.
Approvals for explosion protection include ATEX, IECEx and FM/CSA, with a dual sealing concept in accordance with ANSI/ISA-12.27.01.
