Overview
The Brooks Instrument 1358F1B2FA1E1A is a Sho-Rate Series glass tube variable-area rotameter flowmeter designed for industrial flow measurement applications. Operating at pressures up to 250 PSI, this unit provides accurate, direct visual indication of flow rates across a 0–6 range. Sho-Rate flowmeters are widely used in chemical, petrochemical, and analytical processes where cost-effective, reliable flow monitoring is essential.
Key Features
- Glass tube design: Direct visual read-out with built-in magnifier for clear scale visibility
- 250 PSI rated: Suitable for moderate to high-pressure applications
- 10% accuracy: Standard accuracy typical of Model 1358 high-flow rotameters
- 0.5% full-scale repeatability: Ensures consistent measurement performance
- Robust construction: Industrial-grade materials for demanding process environments
