Pressure Rating:
TM Series meters are manufactured with 2 different pres-
sure ratings (though not in all sizes/materials). Pressure
rating is identified in position 11 in the Part Number:
Pos. 11 in P/No.

Pressure rating applies to -40ºF/+100ºF (-40ºC/+38ºC) tem-
perature range. At higher operating temperatures the pres-
sure rating is reduced by factors shown below
:
Temperature Rating:
TM Series meters are rated for use on liquids with tempera-
ture in -40ºF/+300ºF (-40ºC/+150ºC) range. This tempera-
ture rating applies to the flow meter only.
Electronic signal conditioner, totalizer or register attached to
the flow meter will have a different rating, which may differ at
both the low and high end of the range (refer to manual for
electronic components). When that is the case, the elec-
tronic component must be installed remote from the flow
meter.
Flow Meter Nominal Capacity:
TM02D 0.3 GPM 1.1 lpm
TM03 3.0 GPM 11 lpm
TM04 10 GPM 38 lpm
TM06 20 GPM 76 lpm
Actual capacity depends upon liquid lubricity, viscosity and
operating temperature. Normal turn-down is 10:1 from nom-
inal (maximum) value shown. Optimum performance is be-
tween 50% and 85% of nominal capacity.
When the viscosity exceeds 200 cSt, maximum flow rate is
restricted, but the flow meter will have satisfactory linearity
(accuracy) down to 2-3% of nominal capacity.
To determine model maximum capacity on higher viscosity
liquids, find the flow meter coefficient for maximum liquid
viscosity in table below, and multiply nominal capacity with
this factor.
