† The linear flow range of liquids with nonlubricating characteristics is limited to the upper 60% of rating.
‡ Based on water.
§ Consult a Sensia representative for liquid applications with viscosity above 5 centistokes.
Note: The meter will remain accurate at flow rates higher than its rating, but bearing wear and pressure drop across the meter can shorten the life span of the meter.
Flowmeters can be overranged by 10% for short periods without significant effect. Traceability of pressure-containing components available on request.
