Product catalog summary
Specifications:
- Maximum liquid pressure: 300 PSI (20.69 BAR)
- Flow rate range: 10 to 160 GPM (60 to 600 LPM)
- Certifications: NIST, CSA Certified NRTL/C, CE Marked
- Calibration: Traceable calibration certificate available

Description:
The document describes variable area meters with a spring-biased semi-circular vane that adjusts with flow changes. These meters are installed in-line without the need for straight pipe runs. They provide visual readouts with pointers and scales, and can include switches or a 4-20 mA transmitter.

Calibration:
Each flow meter is individually calibrated for water. For NIST traceability, consultation with the factory is required.

Construction Materials:
Wetted parts are made of brass and nylon, with 316 stainless steel internal moving parts and Buna-N seals.

Line Connection:
Ports are threaded and available in NPT (1/2 to 2 inch) or SAE straight thread, with metric threads like BSPP or BSPT also available.

Ordering Information:
Model codes are built using symbols for series, housing material, internal parts, seal material, max flow rate, threaded attachment, fluid characteristics, service type, flow direction, special options, and switch settings.

Engineering Data:
- Maximum fluid temperature: 200°F (95°C)
- Maximum ambient temperature: 150°F (65°C)
- Readout accuracy: ±2% full scale
- Maximum operating pressures: 300 PSI (20.69 BAR)
- Repeatability of setpoint: 1% of actual flow

Flow & Pressure Drop:
Units with max flows up to 80 GPM impose a pressure drop increasing from 1.9 to 3.8 PSI. Higher flow models may have partial bypass or dual springs to manage pressure drops.

Special Options:
- Identification tag: Customer-supplied information stamped on a stainless steel tag.
- Manual override: Allows manipulation to clear debris, simulate flow, and adjust switch settings.

Dimensions:
Approximate dimensions are provided for various configurations, including standard and dual spring options.

AX0 4-20 mA transmitter MN water AX0-1

MAX FLOW SIZES FROM 10 TO 160 GPM (60 TO 600 LPM) MAX LIQUID PRESSURE 300 PSI (20.69 BAR) Flow rate indicator with switch(es) or transmitter MN WATER MN Series, "A" style control box Flow meters, Flow switches and Flow transmitters For Water CSA Certied NRTL/C CE Marked (as noted) NIST Traceable Calibration Certicate Available DESCRIPTION These are variable area meters with a spring biased semi-circular vane that opens wider with more ow. They are installed in-line in any position. Straight pipe runs before or after the meter are not required. The simple mechanical connection directly drives pointers, dials and cams. They are very hardy. Readout is visual with a pointer and scale combined with either switches or a 4-20 mA transmitter. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS The materials of construction are wetted parts of brass and Nylon with 316 SS internal moving parts and Buna-N seals. C D F A G B LINE CONNECTION Ports are threaded and can be NPT (1/2 to 2 inch) or SAE straight thread. Metric threads such as BSPP or BSPT are also available. CALIBRATION All ow meters are individually calibrated for water. For NIST Traceability please consult factory. NOTE: This is a simplied model code and does not include standard options like other materials of construction, internal moving parts, seals, anges, pressure ratings, multiple switches etc. which can be found in other catalog sheets. 1 E Fluid enters at A, passes around the semi-circular vane B, exits at outlet C. The vane resists the ow because of the spring D. The further the vane is pushed the larger the passageway E becomes. This minimizes the pressure drop. The vane shaft turns to operate the pointer F and remote signal devices such as the switch G.
