Brooks Instrument Introduces GT1600 Series Glass Tube Variable Area Flowmeters

Brooks Instrument adds the GT1600 Series of glass tube variable area flowmeters to its family of variable area flowmeter products. Suitable for a wide variety of industries from chemical manufacturing to pharmaceutical production to water treatment and distribution, the GT1600 is ideal for low- and high-flow gas and liquid applications where viewing the process is important.

The rugged flowmeter features high-quality design and materials, such as 316 stainless steel construction and a polycarbonate shield to ensure safety and longevity for both indoor and outdoor use. For ease of use, the adjustable, transparent scale improves readability and allows for offset correction to compensate for process variation. In addition, the process connection can be rotated 360 degrees so users can view from all directions. An alarm option is also available for automatic monitoring of critical flow conditions.

Configured for simple installation, the GT1600 is available with a variety of connections to fit existing piping arrangements or mount to a panel or wall. It can also work as a drop-in retrofit for the Brooks Instrument GT1000, GT1300 and Full-View 1100 Series of flowmeters.

The GT1600 is fashioned for easy maintenance. For in-situ cleaning, the glass tube and float can be replaced without removing the flowmeter from the piping, saving time and cost.
