The UM series is specifically engineered for the most common of liquid transfer applications within industrial plants, mining sites, automotive service centres and refuelling installations.

Monitoring or controlling the movements of small to medium volumes of water, diesel fuels and other low viscosity liquids under pumped or gravity conditions in small pipe sizes is widespread. The UM flowmeter provides a cost effective solution to the traceability of disbursed liquids.

A single impeller is rotated by the flow, magnets within the impeller activate the electronic outputs (reed switch and solid state Hall Effect). An integral strainer also serves as a flow conditioner allowing the meter to be located in restricted piping arrangements. The UM meter is not limited to clean liquids, the impeller concept will tolerate liquids bearing a degree of suspended particles which may pass the strainer.

UM is available as a "blind" flowmeter (pulse output only) or can be supplied fitted with the self powered RT series flow rate totaliser or compnact EcoBatch electronic batch controller.
