1-1 Description
The Brooks
®
Models MT 3809 and MT 3819 Variable Area Flowmeters are
rugged, all metal flowmeters offering 2% full scale accuracy. The Model MT
3809 is constructed with stainless steel components for measuring a
variety of gas, liquid and steam applications while the Model MT 3819
utilizes a ETFE (Tefzel™) lining for aggressive liquid and gas applications.
Flow rate indication is provided by means of magnetic coupling where a
magnet, encapsulated in the float, is coupled to a rotatable magnet located
in the rear of the indicator, thus turning the dial indicator mounted on the
meter.
Optional accessories available include 4-20 mA output with HART
microprocessor transmitter with or without configurable alarms and pulse
output for totalization. The microprocessor electronics are based on the
proprietary Smart Meter Manager technology utilized as the basis for an
array of Brooks products.
Also available are front adjustable inductive alarms, high temperature or
stainless steel indicator housings, valves, sight flows, flow controllers and
material certifications.
