Note In the housing of the flow meters FMC/FMJ a measuring chamber is installed in which the nutating disc is moving. Measuring chamber and nutating disc are therefore called measuring chamber cpl. With the flow meters FMO/FMT the housing parts form a measuring chamber in which the oval rotors (FMO) resp. a turbine wheel (FMT) act as impellers.

FLUX flow meters FMC, built to nutating disc principle, are designed for the use with FLUX drum pumps or for the stationary application e.g. in piping systems. With the evaluation unit FLUXTRONIC® filling and dosing processes of almost all kinds of fluids can be performed with maximum precision and highest safety. In automatic mode it is possible to output a signal for control purposes with the evaluation unit and the use of a switching amplifier. This way e.g. motor and / or magnetic valve and the most different processes can be controlled. The flow meter FMJ is a low-cost alternative, if...
