Series VFA & VFB
|
Visi-Float® Flowmeters
|
Used
to Indicate or Manually Control Air or Water Flow
|
|
The Visi- Float® flowmeter bodies are cut and precision
machined from solid, clear acrylic plastic
|
blocks. This construction not only produces a handsome finished
product, but permits complete
|
visual inspection. As a result, the Visi- Float® flowmeters
are especially popular for medical and
|
laboratory equipment applications.
|
|
Scales are easy to read – The front scale location and white
background provides excellent
|
visibility. The direct reading
scales are hot stamped into the plastic and will not wear off. Mid-range
|
calibration is established with a
master flowmeter. Accuracy is +/-5% of full scale
for VFA models,
|
+/-3% for VFB. Scales average 2” long on the VFA
models, 4” long on VFB.
