Macnaught mechanical flow meters are back
Company reverses decision to halt production of M-Series positive displacement flow meter range
AFTER 40 years of manufacturing in Australia, the decision to cease production of Sydney-based Macnaught Pty’s M-Series mechanical display flow meters in favour of digital models, which was taken last year, has now been reversed following a review of global distributor feedback and resurgence in customer demand.
Oval gear meters are widely recognized as one of the most versatile ways of measuring flow, with their ability to accurately meter a broad range of low- to high-viscosity fluids, without the need for flow conditioning.
By incorporating the oval rotor principle into their design, M-Series positive displacement flow meters from Macnaught offer proven reliability and high levels of accuracy and repeatability.
Featuring a rugged design that minimizes the number of wear parts and replaceable parts, and extends product life, the easily fitted and operated mechanical meters can be mounted horizontally or vertically without flow conditioning and exert minimal pressure drop, allowing for economical pump selection or gravity flow applications.
With moving parts inside the meter body limited to a pair of oval gear rotors, maintenance is minimal. Unlike more complicated technologies, M-Series flow meters can be quickly and easily disassembled, serviced and reassembled whilst still in the line, without the need for special tools or training.
The M-Series model range, which is available in the UK from Bell Flow Systems, covers sizes from 0.5in to 4in with flow rates from 2 to 1,200 litres/min and an accuracy reading of ±0.5%. A choice of construction materials ensures effective operation in industrial applications with a wide range of fluid viscosities.
