UNIVERSAL FLOW MONITORS WVM30GM-8-A2NR FLOW RATE INDICATOR

Description:

The Universal Flow Monitors WVM30GM-8-A2NR Flow Rate Indicator is a vane-style variable area flow meter used to monitor and indicate liquid flow in industrial process systems. Commonly installed in cooling water systems, lubrication circuits, hydraulic systems, and industrial machinery requiring reliable flow measurement with low pressure drop. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this flow meter for replacement, retrofit, and new installations to protect equipment, verify flow conditions, and maintain process efficiency. The WVM series utilizes a spring-loaded swinging vane design that provides immediate response and local visual indication.

Applications:

The Universal Flow Monitors WVM30GM-8-A2NR is used to measure the flow of water, oils, coolants, glycol, and other compatible liquids in industrial piping systems. It is commonly found in pumps, heat exchangers, compressors, machine tools, and process equipment where maintaining adequate flow is critical for safe and efficient operation. The meter can be installed inline in any orientation and does not require straight pipe runs upstream or downstream.
