OceanTest - Model MF 315 -Mechanical Flowmeter

• Mechanical odometer displays total impeller revolutions in an adjustable time period. The calibration chart, provided, converts counts to velocity or
distance.
• High accuracy.readings due to its ability to self align with the fluid flow. The pivoting axle located at the balance center, facilitates orientation
with the flow along the in-situ gravitational line.
• Free flooding capacity allows for usage at any depth.
• Double-point, flexible, connection for use with plankton nets or other plankton collecting equipment.
• Rigid pivoting axle for mounting on fixed support
• Manufactured entirely from corrosion resistant materials.
