Casting Machines -VKM series Flowmeter / Flow Switch

The Customer: Machine Builder - Aluminum Casting Machines

The Industry: Metals/Castings

The Application: Measuring cooling for aluminum castings

The Problem:

  • The customer required a simple flowmeter to measure water or compressed air
  • Required indication only or 4-20 mA transmitter only

The Solution:

  • VKM flowmeter with special scale
  • LPM water and MH3/HR compressed air
  • Behaves like a DP meter for compressed air applications
  • Behaves like a DP meter for compressed air applications
  • Optional Flow Switch output

Why the Customer Picked VKM:

  • The same meter used for both air and water cooling
  • VKM has the option for a 4-20 mA required for some applications
  • We were willing to test the scale for compressed air
  • 2200 meters sold to customer since 2001
