Tracer®VM Base Flowmeter

Products

TracerVM™ Flowmeter

The TracerVM Base Flowmeter is a non-display sensor that provides voltage outputs for process flow rate and temperature (see below for details).
Vortex sensor technology is highly accurate and repeatable without moving parts. Flow reading is direction specific. Refer to the arrow on the body for correct installation.
Connection to the process is made using standard pipe threads in NPT or BSP from 3/8" through 1-1/2". Flow body materials are corrosion-resistant brass, nylon, anodized aluminum and stainless steel. The flowmeter is designed for use in industrial water applications such as injection mold cooling or filter and pump monitoring.
