| ONE-PIECE FRAME |
| Varea-Meter frames are welded, heavy-gauge 302 stainless steel. This one-piece, deep-formed frame protects the tube from pipe strains, makes for design simplicity, minimizes parts, easy assembly. Front and rear tube shields are standard. |
| POSITIVE, CONVENIENT TUBE SEALING |
| An external clamp exerts a firm force on a tube retainer. There is no pack-ing, no spring in the flow stream. Tubes are held securely, yet are easily removed. Tubes and retainers are sealed by same-size O-rings. |
| FLOAT DESIGN INCREASES CAPACITY |
| Varea-Meter floats have their metering discs between the upper and lower bodies. The short lower body results in less flow restriction and less pressure drop than with conventional floats. Along with high-taper tubes, these floats give higher capacities for a given tube size. Thus, it is often possible to select a smaller Varea-Meter at a saving in cost. |
| FLOW SWITCH FOR GLASS-TUBE VAREA-METERS |
| This heavy-duty unit is designed for use with any 5-inch-scale Varea-Meter. Its rugged design and construction mean reliable operation, yet it is sensitive enough for critical applications. It consists of one to four reed switches, each encapsulated with a biasing magnet. Switches are activated by float position. The switches are rated at 50- volt amperes. For higher ratings, one to four double-pole, double-throw relays each handle 10 amperes at 115 volts are available. Repeatability is 0.031 inch. The switches are easy to remove and the relays are plug-in types. Components are in a heavy aluminum case with a vapor-tight cover. Write for Catalog File 520.100. |
