INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
FLK-2201~FLK-2224
Acrylic block flowmeters are available in various
sizes and ranges, with direct reading scales in both
SAE and SI units for air and water (see charts on
other side). For other gases or liquids, special scales
can be provided.
If
you use this meter with fluids
other than air or water, please consult chemical
compatibility data for possible effects on the meter.
These meters are manufactured of durable acrylic
and if properly installed and maintained, will
provide long-term trouble-free operation.

UNPACKING
Precautions have been taken to prevent any
damage from occurring during shipment.
However, if the meter is received damaged,
report it to the carrier immediately.
Before
installing, verify that you have the model and
flow range required.
ACHIEVING ACCURATE FLOWRATES
To obtain an accurate flowrate, the float must be
read at the position indicated on the meter. If the
meter uses a ball float, the flowrate is determined
by reading the center of the ball. Additionally, the
flowmeter should be installed in a manner, which
minimizes both external vibrations and internal
flow variations. Special care should be taken so
that the connections to the meter's inlet and outlet
fittings do not overly restrict the liquid or gas
flow being metered. This could result in a
reduced flow volume, preventing the meter from
reaching its maximum flowrate. Furthermore,
internal pressures could be affected, which can
cause inaccurate flow readings. On start- up, slowly
purge any fluid trapped in the meter.
INSTALLATION
These meters are supplied with 5/8" or 7/8" hex's on
the inlet and outlet fittings. When installing
2-
NPT1/8”
fittings into the meter,
place th
eappropriate size wrench on the hex to prevent
the inlet/outlet fitting from rotating. Torque only
to 60 in-lbs.
Failure to do so will cause the fitting
to rotate, and may damage the meter body, causing
leaks and/or meter failure. Use pipe thread sealant or
Teflon® tape to ease installation and provide a better
seal. This meter is supplied with #10-32 threaded
inserts for mounting. When installing, use slotted
screws and torque to a maximum of 35 in-lbs.
Mounting dimensions are shown in Figure I.

THIS FLOWMETER IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH NON-HAZARDOUS FLUIDS AT PRESSURES UP TO145 PSI(1000KPA) AND TEMPERATURES
