IceCube Flowmeters with Brass or Nylon

IceCube Flowmeters with Brass or Nylon Ends

Smartflow mechanical flowmeters are durable, vane-operated devices that provide visual indication of flow rate in many different styles and sizes.  Rugged wetted parts are compatible with many process liquids.

Optional temperature and pressure gauges add functionality and flexibility to Smartflow Flowmeters.  Brass quick-connect fittings are available on the smaller flowmeters to create an excellent, portable tool for determining flow and locating clogged lines.

Features and Benefits

  • Compact size works well in restricted-space locations.
  • Rugged construction gives years of dependable service.
  • Variety of inlet sizes provides exactly the right connection.
  • 210°F (99°C) Temperature Rating allows installation into a wide range of applications.
  • Optional Temperature and Pressure Gauges give instant access to pressure and temperature information in addition to flow in one unit.
  • No Mounting Restrictions ease installation in any position without extra brackets or hardware.

Galvanic corrosion may occur in anodized aluminum components when installed in electrical connection with more noble metals such as copper. Use appropriate installation practices. For best performance, mechanical flowmeters should be installed in the vertical position with the flow moving forwards.

Turbulent Flow

Injection molders know that a certain rate of flow is needed to achieve turbulent flow in cooling lines. This concept applies to most cooling applications using a water-based coolant
mixture. Charts below are for reference only. Turbulent Flow Rate is approximate based on Reynolds Number of 4000.
