Our line of flow meters that measure gallons per minute (GPM) are of the highest quality, and available to you at an affordable price! Very Accurate and easy to install.
Constructed of a durable machine acrylic body, corrosion & wear resistant float, and a permanent screen-printed scale. Simply drill the hole into the pipe, and install it with a gasket and 2 clamps.
Our flow meters utilize a pitot tube pick up and a hard edged float design to provide a precision water flow reading.
These flow meters feature a tough, one-piece machined acrylic meter body, 316 stainless steel corrosion resistant internal parts which makes them safe for saltwater applications. UV and chemical resistant Red Cap molded from PVDF, Dual scale calibrated.
Water Flow Meter Features:
- GPM scale printed on both sides of the meter.
- Flow rates from 1140 lph to 95395 lph.
- Corrosion resistant 316SS or Teflon internal float materials.
- One piece machined acrylic body.
- Mounts to existing pipe. No unions or adapters required.
- Mounting clamps and gasket included.

Installation Requirements:
This flow meter requires a Minimum Straight Pipe Length Requirement, the meter’s accuracy is affected by disturbances such as pumps, elbows, tees, valves, etc., in the flow stream.
Install the meter in a straight run of pipe as far as possible from any disturbances.
Mounting location
These Flow meters must be mounted at the vertical (twelve o'clock) position on horizontal pipe only. We also have the Vertical Downflow Meter and Vertical Upflow Meter but only in 1.5 inch and 2 inch.
The pipe must be completely full of water at all times.
The meter can accurately measure flow from one direction only.
The distance required for accuracy is 10 times the nominal pipe diameter before the meter and 4 times the nominal pipe diameter after the meter.
- These Pitot Tube Acrylic Flow Meter have been an aquatics industry standard for over six decades, these Flow Meter's are accurate and has reduced space requirements for installation. The aerodynamic pitot tube is designed for smooth fluid flow through the meter. There are four capture points resulting in no float bounce.
New features include:
- PVDF cap that won’t fade or crack
- PVDF float that won’t stick, is chemical resistant, and easy-to read-color
- Improved accuracy
Model Variations:
- F-300 = Horizontal flow
- D-300 = Vertical downflow
- U-300 = Vertical upflow
- Well suited for closed pipe installations
- Easy to read dual scale (SCH 40 / SCH 80), screen printed on both sides of the meter body
- Acceptable for outdoor installations (direct sunlight okay)
- Pitot Tube (impact tube) design makes it easy to install on existing pipe
- One-piece, machined acrylic meter body
- Included SS clamps and gasket seal
- For use on PVC (refer to literature)
