Arma-View II® Purge Meter
USFilter’s Wallace & Tiernan Products Arma-View II type armored purge meters are designed for the measurement of low volume flows of aggressive chemicals. The strong meter construction provides reliable metering of gases and liquids at high pressure and temperature ratings. It provides state-of-the-art technology in a variable area design. It is versatile and features true magnetic coupling between the float and the indicating mechanism. An optional inlet control valve provides smooth manual control of flow rate. It has 316L stainless steel unibody construction. For constant flow regulation an optional flow controller is available. The regulator provides continual flow regulation regardless of pressure variations. It can be mounted on the inlet or outlet of the meter or directly in the process line.

4-20 mA Electronic Transmitter
This electronic transmitter is a low energy, high-output-load device that gives local analog flow read out on a six-inch scale as well as a linear 4-20 mA signal proportional to the flow rate. For stand-by operation, the transmitter can easily be connected to operate from a battery option. The transmitter is housed in a NEMA 4 enclosure with a plastic window; a glass window is also available as an accessory. In NEMA 4 general purpose enclosure the transmitter is Factory Mutual approved as intrinsically safe for Class I, Division I, Group A, B, C, and D hazardous locations and dust-ignition proof for Class II, Division I and II, Group E, F and G areas. There is also an FM approved explosion-proof arrangement available for Class I locations and dust ignition proof for Class II areas.
