Categories:
The McMenon A6 is a highly reliable purge-style variable area flowmeter designed for low-volume liquid or gas measurement. With its clear, direct-read scale and compact build, the A6 excels in applications requiring steady flow control at low pressure—especially for purging, sealing, and instrumentation loops.
Engineered for high visibility and low maintenance, the A6 is panel-mount compatible and adaptable for OEM designs. Whether monitoring inert gases or maintaining seal flows, it supports Eleven57’s goal of delivering accessible, precision instrumentation that extends system performance and integrity.
Applications: instrument panel purge flow, seal water and air injection, protective gas regulation, sample line control.
Features and Specifications
Covers the same flow ranges as the horizontal version (water ~0.5 to 2200 cm³/min, air flows in similar low ranges). The A6200 model has vertical connections (¼″ NPT/BSPP) on the bottom and top, suited for inline vertical piping. Operating limits: up to 18 bar and 120 °C. Available in multiple scale lengths (short to long) to trade off size vs. reading resolution. Accuracy falls in the ±1.6% – ±10% range depending on flow range (better accuracy on larger flows). All Purgemaster units include a stainless steel body, quick snap-in tube assembly, and integral safety shield for the glass tube.
- Tube diameter ranges from 1/8” to 1/4” (Other select sizes Available)
- Suitable for all transparent liquids and gases
- Accuracy classes from 2.5 to 10 % VDE/VDI
- Rangeability ≥10:1
- Flow and pressure control
- Snap-In Tube design
- Safety tested shields
- Interchangeable parts

Solutions and Applications
Well-suited for panel-mounted flow indication in labs or skid systems, especially where vertical flow orientation is required. Common uses: purge flows to process instruments, carrier gas flows in analytical equipment, and any low-flow metering in water treatment or chemical injection systems. The vertical connection configuration facilitates direct inline installation in a vertical run of tubing or piping.
