FGM1190 – ABB Glass tube variable area flowmeter

FGM1190The wide variety of float weights and meter tubes allows the glass tube flowmeter FGM1190 to be matched exactly to the required flow range. The three ribs, parallel to the center axis of the meter tube, guide the float over the entire flow range. This enables a high degree of reproducibility because the float is absolutely centered in the meter tube.

Designed for flowrate measurements in many industries including system manufacture, food, water treatment plants and chemical. Aggressive fluid applications are possible because the fluid wetted parts can be made from a wide variety of different materials.
