Church Wardens Could Fall Foul Of Poor Maintenance
Church wardens should be taking more care of their footpaths, steps and courtyards if they are to avoid enormous insurance premiums following compensation claims.
With BSP or NPT connections as standard on 1/4" to 1.5" flow lines, the high grade bronze or stainless steel investment cast bodies are suitable for pressures as high as 16 bar at 200C.
Flow-Mon re-engineered this modern version of an established product concept to provide a low cost, off-the-shelf flow visualisation system.
Using only one freely moving part, the white Teflon ball provides a simple indication of any significant fluid flow down the flow line, even in gases, steam or colourless liquids.
In addition the glass window onto the fluid itself provides a useful monitoring point for the typical plant maintenance engineer: the physical inspection picture provided could prevent countless unnecessary system breakdowns.
With minimal pressure drop, typically less than 0.2 bar, and flow set-point indication ranging from 0.1 Ltr/min to 13 Ltr/min depending on line size, these Flow-Mon "Rising Ball" units provide immediately recognizable flow indication, without requiring any power, any maintenance, and with minimal flow restriction.
All units are PED approved, and produced by Flow-Mon, an ISO 2001 registered company. Request a free brochure from Flow-Mon ...
