Tracer®VM Base Flow Meters
The TracerVM Base Flowmeter is a non-display sensor that provides voltage outputs for process flow rate and temperature.
Vortex sensor technology is highly accurate and repeatable without moving parts. Flow reading is direction-specific. Refer to the arrow on the body for correct installation.
Connection to the process is made using standard pipe threads in NPT or BSP from 3/8″ through 1-1/2″. Flow body materials are corrosion-resistant brass, nylon, anodized aluminum, and stainless steel. The flowmeter is designed for use in industrial water applications such as injection mold cooling or filter and pump monitoring.
