Flow Indicator Style




   Flow Indicator Style:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Plain
 
     Plain sight flow indicators are window-only devices. There are no moving parts to indicate flow. The unit may be mounted in any direction, but the flow is bi-directional. Plain sight flow indicators are used to detect easily-visible fluids, or the absence of such fluids. These devices are also used to detect color clarity and fluid turbulence.
 
   Flapper
 
     Flappers are sight flow indicators with a flap that lifts when liquid flows. Devices may be mounted either horizontally or vertically, and have an upward flow. Typically, flappers are used with clear fluids.
 
   Rotor
 
     Sight flow indicators have a rotor that turns when liquid is flowing. Devices may be mounted in any direction, but right-to-left flow is standard. Rotor-style sight flow indicators are designed for clear, translucent, or dark fluids.
 
   Drip Tube
 
     Liquid drips into the indicator through a small opening in the end of the device. Units are designed for vertical applications, and only have downward flow. Drip tube sight flow indicators are recommended for applications with intermittent gravity or extremely low flow-rates.
 
   Full View
 
     Full-view sight flow indicators are cylindrical. The full indicator can be seen from all sides. 
 
   Armored
 
     Armored sight flow indicators are also cylindrical, but have supports on either side. Liquid flow is viewable from only the front and back of the device.
 
   Flapper Gaseous
 
     Sight flow indicators have a flap that lifts when gas is flowing. Units may be mounted either horizontally or vertically, and have upward flow.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Connection Type




   Connection Type:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Threaded
 
     Devices have a pipe thread for connection to piping.
 
   Flanged
 
     Devices have flanges for connection to piping.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Physical Characteristics




   Flange Size
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Thread Size
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Face to Face Dimensions or Overall Length
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Performance Specifications




   Operating Pressure Range
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Material Temperature Range
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Body Material




   Body Material:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Brass
 
     Brass offers good strength, excellent high-temperature ductility and reasonable cold ductility, good electrical conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, good bearing properties, and low magnetic permeability.
 
   Bronze
 
     Bronze is a porous material that can be impregnated with oil, graphite or polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE). Bronze is not suitable for heavily-loaded applications, but is useful where lubrication is inconvenient.
 
   Iron - Ductile
 
     Ductile iron retains cast iron's machinability and corrosion-resistance. It provides additional strength, toughness, and ductility. Although its chemical properties are similar to those of cast iron, ductile iron incorporates significant casting refinements, additional metallurgical processes, and superior quality control.
 
   Steel - Carbon
 
     High-carbon, hard-drawn steel is used when impact- and abrasion-resistance is required.
 
   Steel - Stainless
 
     Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant, and can have relatively high-pressure ratings.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, proprietary or specialized materials.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Mounting Orientation




   Mounting Orientation:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Vertical Mounting
 
     Devices mount vertically.
 
   Horizontal Mounting
 
     Devices mount horizontally.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Features




   Sanitary?
 
     Devices are rated for sanitary applications.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Single Window?
 
     The flow rate is viewable from only one side of the device.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Double Window?
 
     Double-window devices have one window in the front and one in the back. These sight flow indicators are best for observing a liquid's clarity or color.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Dual Window (FM Approved)?
 
     Dual windows are comprised of two glass discs held in position by a metallic housing, internal shims and gaskets. The double, tempered-glass window design provides added protection in applications where there is external mechanical impact or corrosion/erosion. FM Approval means that the indicator meets Factory Mutual (FM) system standards.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Teflon Lined?
 
     Devices are designed with Teflon® for transporting and viewing corrosive materials. Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Ball Float?
 
     Devices have a ball that floats to indicate dark-colored liquids, low-flow conditions, or in low-light applications.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Wipers Included?
