Visual flow indicator is chemical resistant

When there is a flow of fluid above a minimum level, a white PTFE ball rises into the reinforced borosilicate glass dome and becomes visible. Flow-Mon re-engineered this modern version of an established product concept to provide a low cost, off-the-shelf flow visualisation system.
The white Teflon ball provides a simple indication of any significant fluid flow down the flow line, even in gases, steam or colourless liquids. In addition, the glass window onto the fluid itself provides a useful monitoring point for the typical plant maintenance engineer: the physical inspection picture provided could prevent countless unnecessary system breakdowns.
With minimal pressure drop, typically less than 0.2bar, and flow set-point indication ranging from 0.1 litres/min to
13 litres/min, depending on line size, these Flow-Mon Rising Ball units provide immediately recognisable flow indication, without requiring any power or maintenance, and with minimal flow restriction.
