LoFlo Series Flowmeter

COX Flow Measurement's LoFlo Series turbine flowmeter is a robust axial turbineflowmeter with repeatability of A plus or minus 0.25 percent of reading. Constructed of 316stainless steel with -6 AN (MS) end-fittings, the meter employs a proprietarySi3N4 ceramic ball bearing system, which makes it suited for the demands ofwater, hydrocarbon and cryogenic fluid applications. Turbine flowmeters usingceramic bearings benefit from reduced friction, corrosion resistance, increaseddurability and a wide temperature range - contributing to longer life. Ceramicball bearings have considerably less friction than journal or sleeve bearings,which, in turn, extends the usable range of the flowmeter and improves therepeatability of the flow measurement. Less friction translates into reducedwear, and thus less calibration drift.

The LoFlo Series meter uses a precision, lightweight 17-4 helical rotor and iscalibrated on primary standard equipment. The helical blade profile transfersenergy, reducing bearing wear, pressure drop and their associated cost. Thecompact LoFlo Series flowmeter (2.21 inch face dimension) is notposition-sensitive and can be mounted in any piping orientation. It is designedto measure flows as low as 0.006 GPM (0.024 LPM). Typical uses include fuelinjection production systems, blending of costly chemical additives, onboardfuel consumption, refrigerants and dye injections.
