Lobee - Model GPM -Flow Meter
For handling industrial liquids where a continuous rate of flow is an operating aid or necessity, it is desirable to know at a glance the rate of flow in GALLONS PER MINUTE. With the LOBEE GPM RATER, which has a clear tube entirely around the body and an indicator just inside the tube for easy reading, the rate of flow in GALLONS PER MINUTE is observable at all times. The flange of the float deflects the liquid against the wall of the tube and helps keep it clean so the indicator remains visible even in liquids of high sediment content. The small size of the flow rater permits easy installation.
The GPM Rater is a virtually trouble-free unit. It must be installed vertically to insure accuracy and prevent sticking or hang-up of the float. It the float does stick or hang-up for reasons of poor installation alignment, simply tap the pipe above the rater. This will not damage the rater. No lubrication is necessary, but cleanliness is necessary for smooth accurate operation. If sludge or residue builds up inside the unit, remove and clean periodically. Standard calibration is for water at 31.5 SSU. Accuracy is +/- 5% of maximum scale reading. All sizes available in Brass, PVC or 316 Stainless Steel.
