Variable Area Flow Meter Performs in Extreme Conditions

Brooks Instrument, Hatfiel, Pa., USA, a provider of advanced flow, pressure, vacuum, level, and vapor delivery solutions, has launched the MT3809 armored variable area (VA) flow meter, an instrument designed to perform effectively in extreme conditions in chemicals, petrochemicals, oil and gas, and LP gas applications.

The MT3809 provides flexibility to use a single flow meter regardless of application, process configuration, or flow rate. It works accurately across a vast range of operating temperatures, from 196ºC to 420ºC (-320ºF to 780ºF), and at pressures to 1,380 bar (20K psi). Even in demanding applications measuring gases, liquids, and steam, the MT3809 delivers 2% full-scale/1.6 VDI accuracy. The explosion-proof housing meets the most stringent hazardous-area classifications worldwide, and a flameproof option is available for IIC/Class 1 Division 1 locations.

More information about the new MT3809 is available online.
