1.0 Introduction

The Micro-Flo flowmeter is designed to display flow rate and flow total on a six digit LCD display. The meter can measure bi-directional flows in either vertical or horizontal mounting orientation. Six flow ranges and four optional pipe and tubing connections are available. Pre-programmed calibration K-factors can be selected for the corresponding flow range or a custom field calibration can be performed for higher accuracy at a specific flow rate. The meter is factory programmed for the correct K-factor of

the body size included with the meter.
