Explosion Proof / Flame Proof Oval Gear Flow Meters

Sep 15, 2022

MX-SERIES highly accurate flow meters with Ex ia and Ex D pulse output features:

Rated intrinsically Safe and Explosion Proof, they are designed to endure the rigours of the heavy Industry, the ‘Ex’ approved series presents an ideal solution for the precise transfer or dispensing of fluids in environments where there is the potential of exposure to flammable gases, or vapours.

Oval gear flowmeters are ideally suited to applications requiring accurate dispense quantities. Measurement of very low flow rates, pulsating flow, small batch sizes, viscous products, and non-conductive liquids are all ideal uses for oval gear meters. Because these meters don't require flow conditioning, no straight piping runs are required, so they can be used in installations where space is limited without affecting performance.
