These meters are optimized for specific lubrication fluids. There is an addition- al option of a mechanical switch to back up the transmitted signal. HART is a digital communication sig- nal superimposed on top of the 4-20 mA standard analog signal which pro- vides additional digital information to the controller. The company's website aids custom- ers in choosing a flowmeter specific to their needs. Product specification choices are available for units of mea- surement, maximum flow rate, pipe size and pressure. The HART option is offered on all vari- able area vane and piston-style flow- meters. These simple low-maintenance m e t e r s c o m e in 12 sizes and go up to 2,000 psi pressure for f l o w r a n g i n g up to 500 gpm. They have CSA and CE certifications.
