Series GD Glass Tube Flowmeters

Overview

Series GD Glass Tube Flowmeters


Series GD is a direct read flowmeter for liquids or gases available in either 65 or 150 mm scale lengths. Series GD flowmeters can be configured with a standard or precision control valve on either the inlet or no valve at all; fittings can be specified in either aluminum or stainless steel; O-rings and seals can be provided in Buna-N, Viton® or other optional elastomers.

At Key Instruments, our success is built on recognizing that product manufacturers need more from their flow instrumentation suppliers than simply providing a standard product catalog.  Manufacturers of medical equipment, industrial gas mixing and distribution systems, aquaculture control equipment, gas and liquid analyzers, water handling and treatment skids, and many others continue to partner with us due to our unique ability to drive costs out of the final product. When maintaining a world-class supply chain is critical, premier product manufacturers call Key.
