Metering Solutions have an exclusive UK agreement with UFM (Universal Flow Monitors) who manufacture flow indication and flow transmitters. The product range include Insite®, FlowStream® and Vortex (liquids) product lines.

Insite® is a plastic see through flow indicator used for water , de-ionized water and dilute chemicals used in waste water treatment. The FlowStream® product uses a different technology to measure the mass flow of clean gasses where fast response and survivability are key. The Vortex can be used for water, brine and corrosive liquids using the vortex shredding operation. The Piston and Vane style Variable Area are commonly used for monitoring the flow rate of clean fluids such as water,chemicals, brine, de-ionized water, paint and compressed air.

Each type of flowmeter is available with a range of flow indicators (flow rate, totaliser), pulse output, 4-20mA output or alarm switches.

The Insite variable area flowmeters made of see-through plastic with metal or plastic port adapters. You get to see your fluid as well as having all metal pipe connections. These are used for water, compressed air, dilute chemicals (such as those used in water treatment), and de-ionized water. These have the same general characteristics as our vane and piston style variable area flow meters, but they are limited to a lower pressure range, use a different technology for switching, and do not have transmitters.

Model PX Insite Flow Monitors are suitable for Water or Compressed Air which are manufactured from transparent PVC and have plastic or metal fittings for robust installation. The scale increments are avaiable in GPM or LPM for liquids and SCFM or SLPM for air.

Model IS Insite Flow Monitors are suitable for Water or Compressed Air which are manufactured from transparent Polysulphone, the spring and shaft material are 316 Stainless Steel and seals are optionally Viton or Kalrez. End fittings are made from either 316 Stainless or PVDF. The scale increments are avaiable in GPM or LPM for liquids and SCFM or SLPM for air.

Flowstream Mass Flowmeters for gas use Laminare Flow Element echnology. This is a subset of differential pressure flow meters. The Flowstream Mass Flowmeter gives a fast enough response to be usefull in automation. The common applications include shielding gas for arc welding, air flow for robotic painting, methane flow to fuel cells and plasma coating.

Flowstream® Mass Flowmeter

EMI immunity is important when you are arc welding in close proximity. NEMA 4 (weather proof) construction makes for long life and an iIntrinsically safe version is available for hazardous locations. Programmable set points, 2 wire 4-20 mA output and other current or frequency outputs are available for linking to remote monitoring equipment. Battery operated units are available when a visual digital readout is all that is required. Multi-gas units are available where the gas to be measured can be selected at the meter. Bidirectionality is now an option for those applications where you want to look at flow in and out of something.

Voretx Flowmeters are designed for coolant, water flow, corossiive liquids, brine etc from ¼ to 4 inch pipe sizes. Optionally, ¾ to 4 inch sizes have temperature transmitters on the CT version. Available in 1/4" to 2" sizes. They cost a lot less than mag meters and they are OK with high particulate. Simple, reliable and inexpensive.

P420 Plastic Vortex Flowmeter - PDF File

P420 Plastic Vortex Flowmeters are made from PVC and CPVC. Sizes from 1/2 to 2 inch diameter pipe. The output is 4-20 mA. They are simple, rugged and inexpensive.

Features include PVC or CPVC construction, ideal for water, corrosives and brine applications, solvent socket or NPT/BSP connection, 2 wire 4-20mA transmitter, 2% accurate and no moving parts.

Features include no moving parts to clog or wear because the technology used is vortex shedding. Digital display and 4-20mA output and solid state relay output for pulse, standard construction is brass body, viton seals and PVDF senors but 316 Stainless Steel body is an option, 2% accuracy and selectable LPM or GPM display.

The Piston and Vane style Variable Area are commonly used for monitoring the flow rate of clean fluids such as water,chemicals, brine, de-ionized water, paint and compressed air. Available in various materials of construction, flow rates and sizes makes these vertsatile for industrial flow monitoring.

LL Piston Variable Area Flow Monitor - PDF File

The LL Piston Variable Area Flow Monitor position an orifice over a tapered shaft to establish flow rate. Installation is in-line and in any position, straight pipe runs before or after are not required. The fully mechanical sensing system directly drives the pointer and remote signaling devices (SPDT or 4-20mA output). Internal parts are assembled into a cartridge consisting of a metal piston assembly affixed to the lower cap end.

Housing and seals are available in a variety of materials to suit a wide range of applications, such as water, oli, gases, air, coolant, paint, solvents and some corrosive fluids. These flow monitors are available in sizes from 1/8" to 3/4" with various connection.
