SKU FGM1197-1 Category
FGM1187 Glass Tube Variable Area Flowmeter, with pipe unions. It is a high accuracy laboratory glass variable area flowmeter. It is intended for a range of applications in various industries for visual indication of flow and where necessary, limit alarms. It has several variations of glass and float combinations to fit any flow ranges for a given nominal pipe size. The available floats are precisely machined for the highest possible accuracy and repeatability within its class.

High visibility glass variable area flowmeter

The McMenon FGM1187 is a reliable glass tube variable area flowmeter built with pipe union connections to support simple, flexible installations. Suitable for measuring gases and liquids in general service applications, it provides clear visual feedback and stable performance across a wide range of flow conditions.

Engineered for systems requiring tool-less removal or inline visibility, the FGM1187 combines affordability, durability, and ease of use. Its direct-read scale and corrosion-resistant materials make it ideal for industrial water, air, and light chemical flows in mid-utility zones or auxiliary skids.

By providing accessible, low-maintenance flow measurement, the FGM1187 supports Eleven57’s mission to extend precision flow monitoring to more operational tiers within global infrastructure.

Applications: service water lines, compressed air loops, nitrogen flow regulation, visual audit points, non-hazardous chemical distribution.
