Overview
The Kenco DDC0500-S flow meter is a precision draw-down calibration cylinder engineered for field testing and validation of flow rates in industrial applications. This model features a 500 mL capacity and measures flow in the 0–8 gallons per hour (GPH) range with ±0.25 GPH accuracy. The DDC0500-S incorporates transparent PVC construction with polyester laminated scales protected against harsh chemical attack, making it suitable for use in chemical injection systems, lubrication systems, and process flow verification.
Key Features
- 500 mL Capacity: Calibrated for precise measurement within its specified range
- Dual Scale: Marked in both milliliters by volume and gallons per hour based on one-minute test intervals
- Chemical Resistant: Polyester laminated scales withstand exposure to aggressive chemicals and solvents
- Transparent PVC Construction: Clear, impact-resistant sight tube allows visual observation of fluid draw-down during testing
- Industrial Grade Fittings: NPT threaded connections (3/4 inch standard) ensure secure installation in pump discharge lines
- Wide Fluid Compatibility: Materials qualified to handle diverse fluids including oils, glycols, and aqueous solutions
