Mechanical Flow meters are back!
After Forty years of manufacturing in Sydney- Australia by
Macnaught Pty , a decision to stop production of M-Series mechanical display
flow meters in favour of digital models was taken last year. This has now been
reversed for 2017 following a review of global distributor feedback and resurgence
in customer demand.
Oval gear meters are widely recognised as one of the most
versatile principles of flow measurement, with their ability to accurately meter
a broad range of low to high viscosity fluids without the need for flow
conditioning. Incorporating this unique oval rotor principle into its design
has enabled M-SERIES positive displacement flow meters from Macnaught to offer proven
reliability and excellent levels of accuracy and repeatability.
Including a rugged design that minimises the number of
wearable and replaceable parts and extends product life, easily fitted and
operated mechanical registers, flexibility of installation options; meters can be
mounted horizontally or vertically without flow conditioning and they exert
minimal pressure drop allowing for economical pump selection or gravity flow
applications.
With moving parts
inside the meter body limited to a pair of oval gear rotors, maintenance is
minimal. Unlike more complicated technologies M-SERIES can be quickly and
easily disassembled, serviced and reassembled whilst still in the line without
the need for special tools or training.
The M-SERIES model range covers sizes from ½” to 4” with
flow rates from 2 to 1200 LPM and an accuracy reading of +/-0.5%. Offering a
choice of construction materials ensures effective use in industrial
applications with a wide range of fluid viscosities.
