A range of flow meters, which are available in three different sizes and more than 20 measuring ranges, have been introduced by Meister Strömungstechnik. The RVO/U flow meters work on the float principle. This measuring technique has proven its reliability over decades, providing sturdy performance and rapid response times.

The devices feature an inbuilt spring which returns the float to its initial position, allowing the flow meters to be operated in any mounting position.

The RVO/U flow devices are also capable of operating in most demanding heavy-duty environments due to their compact design, sturdiness and resistance to high pressures and temperatures. The actual flow can be read directly from the scale. The scale is burnt into a sight glass made of borosilicate glass with an outstanding chemical resistance.

The potential-free reed contacts are encapsulated in a completely sealed housing, providing optimal protection from damage. Ingress protection 65 or 67 can be provided, depending on the chosen connection (plug or cable). Set points for the flow limits can be adjusted by the user within the specified measuring range.

The standard flow monitors can be operated at temperatures of up to 100°C, while the high-temperature versions can be operated at up to 160°C. Pressure resistance is 10 or 16 bar respectively.

The devices can also be obtained as explosion protected versions subject to the ATEX directive.
