The FL-6000A Series of general purpose flowmeters is designed to provide economical, accurate flow rate indication for oil and water. These industrial flowmeters utilize a spring-and-piston type assembly, which enables them to be mounted in any position and gives immunity to changes in viscosity. FL-6000A meters can be used in severe environments at up to 241.3 bar (3500 psig) and 116°C (240°F).
SPECIFICATIONS Accuracy: ±2% FS Repeatability: ±1% Connection: 1/2 FNPT Dimensions: 60.96 x 53.34 mm (2.4 x 2.1") for 116°C (240°F) units Length: 168 mm (6.6") for all units Maximum Pressure: 241.3 bar (3500 psig) Maximum Temperature: Standard: 116°C (240°F); Optional: 204°C (400°F) Shipping Weight: Oil: 0.57 kg (1.25 lb) Water: 1.18 kg (2.60 lb) Wetted Parts: 302 SS (oil units) or 302 SS spring (water units), FKM O-rings, polyphenylene sulfide/ceramic magnetic. Oil units have aluminum body, water units have brass body.
on 20 PSI mineral oil, whats the expected pressure drop, 3 gpm flow

Will these be damaged if you put a 5GPM and 15GPM in series to get better low and high range?
Asked by: EE1983
Thank you for your inquiry. It should be good and you must have sufficient straight run upstream and downstream between the two flow meters so that they will measure a Laminar flow, not turbulence.
