Dwyer 56-171591-00 0-50 GPH Water RMA Series

Dwyer 56-171591-00 0-50 GPH Water RMA Series Flowmeter

The Dwyer 56-171591-00 is a precision flowmeter from the RMA Series, designed to measure water flow rates ranging from 5 to 50 gallons per hour (GPH). This model features a 2-inch scale for clear and accurate readings, making it suitable for various applications requiring precise flow measurement.

Key Features

• Direct Reading Scale: The flowmeter’s scale is brushed aluminum with epoxy coating, providing clear, direct readings without the need for conversions. Graduations are present on both sides of the indicating tube for enhanced visibility.
• Stable Float Operation: Integral flow guides stabilize the float throughout the measurement range, preventing hunting or wandering within the bore and ensuring consistent readings.
• Durable Construction: The body is injection-molded from tough, clear, shatter-proof polycarbonate plastic around a precision tapered pin, resulting in accurate and repeatable measurements.
• Versatile Mounting Options: The flowmeter can be through-panel mounted to align the flow tube centers with the panel surface or surface-mounted using tapped holes in the backbone. All necessary mounting hardware and instructions are included for straightforward installation.
• Easy Maintenance: The design allows for quick disassembly by removing four screws, facilitating easy cleaning and maintenance without disturbing the piping connections.
