Overview
The Dwyer RMB-84-SSV is a direct-reading precision variable area flowmeter from Dwyer’s Rate-Master series. It is a versatile gauge that quickly indicates flow rates within 3% accuracy and is suitable for water flow measurement applications requiring compact, reliable instrumentation. The Series RM Rate-Master Flowmeters are a line of general use, direct reading precision flowmeters suitable for both gas and liquid applications, with 2″, 5″, and 10″ scales that can be panel or surface mounted. This unit features a 5″ polycarbonate body mounted on a stainless steel backbone with a 1/4″ NPTF process connection and SS valve.
