Glass tube variable area flowmeter RatoSight FGM2235

The Series FGM2235 (10A2235) Ratosight Flow Rate Indicator is a rugged, low cost, glass tube variable area flowmeter that provides stable and reliable operation while measuring liquid or gas flow rates. The meter can be supplied with the Ratolarm extension for alarm actuation.

The Ratosight variable area flowmeter is the best available low flow solution for alakali fluids such as sea water. It is well suited for marine applications, RO systems, and forced pump lubrication and cooling as well as seal water systems.
