Flowmeters for circulating lubrication
oil
Universal Flow Monitors introduces the L Series viscosity-insensitive flowmeters that assure delivery of circulating lubrication oil to bearings in machining, mining and steelmaking applications
These piston-style L Series flowmeters maintain +/-5 percent accuracy for lubrication oils with a viscosity range between 40 and 200 centipoise Although operating across the 40 - 200CP viscosity range as standard, a meter can be optimised for specific viscosities within that range

The viscosity-insensitive L Series meters can monitor lube oil flow rates from 2 to 20 gallons per minute (7.6 to 75.7 litres per minute).
The meters monitor rate of oil flow, provide flow rate indication to assist in problem diagnosis, and respond immediately if flow goes too low.
L Series meters from Universal Flow Monitors are mechanical units that require no power.
They include a field-adjustable, high-amperage microswitch that can be wired to trigger equipment shutdown for protection against bearing damage on flow failure.
The L Series flowmeters are Type 4 weatherproof units with wetted parts of aluminium, brass, stainless steel and Viton fluorocarbon elastomer.
The meters accommodate maximum ambient temperatures of 150F (65C), maximum fluid temperatures of 200F (93C) and maximum pressure to 500psi (35Bar).
L Series flowmeters are easy to install, operate and maintain.
They mount in any orientation, with no straight pipe runs required.
The meters have CSA and CE ratings.
NIST traceable calibration is available.
Universal Flow Monitors, located in Hazel Park, Michigan, has manufactured flowmeters for a variety of industries for more than 20 years.
Product literature for the lube oil meters is available on the website.
