A line of hydraulic flow meters, flow blocks and kits from OTC in North America features increased flow capacity and more accurate measurements for technicians. Updated equipment is designed to handle more testing needs and eliminate spillage in over-pressure situations for applications such as industrial, construction and agricultural machinery. OTC backs each flow meter with a five-year warranty from date of purchase.
A new set of flow meters, the 4277 model with 50 gallons per minute (gpm) and the 4278 model with a 100 gpm capacity, can accommodate bi-directional flow. In addition, the 4278 can measure flow in both directions and pressure on the high pressure side. An electronic, fluid-filled gauge dampens vibration and measures flow to within 1 percent of indicated value on 4278 and a mechanical gauge measures within 4 percent of full scale on the 4277. An inner pass system on each meter eliminates hydraulic fluid spills in overpressure conditions with integrated, internal burst discs.
In conjunction with the 4292 digital readout, two new flow blocks, the 4290 16 gpm and the 4291 100 gpm, allow remote testing of hydraulic flow.
Two separate kits are available:
- 4285 Hydraulic Flow Kit, includes 4291 100 gpm flow block with loading valve, 4292 digital readout and 573295 long cable and hose set for flow, temperature and pressure.
- 4294 Deluxe Hydraulic Flow Kit, includes a case, 4290 16 gpm flow block, 4291 100 gpm flow block with loading valve, 4292 digital readout, 573296 short cable for flow and temperature, 573295 long cable and hose for flow, temperature and pressure.
