- Flow Meters - Models MF 315 & EF 325
Mechanical Flowmeter MF 315
- A simple and reliable, impeller driven instrument used to determine the flowing speed of a variety of moving flulds.
- Mechanical odometer displays total impeller revolutions in an adjustable time period. The calibration chart, provided, converts counts to velocity or distance.
- High accuracy.readings due to its ability to self align with the fluid flow. The pivoting axle located at the balance center, facilitates orientation with the flow along the in-situ gravitational line.
- Free flooding capacity allows for usage at any depth.
- Double-point, flexible, connection for use with plankton nets or other plankton collecting equipment.
- Rigid pivoting axle for mounting on fixed support
- Manufactured entirely from corrosion resistant materials.

Data readout: Manual resetting, six ten digits counter wheels, (000,000) reads ten counts per one impeller revolution
Accuracy: +/-3%
Response:
- Standard impeller 0.20 to 10.0 m/s
- Slow speed impeller.. 0.02 to 2.0 m/s
Recording:
- Standard impeller. 16 knots
- Slow speed impeller. 40 knots
Electronic Flowmeter EF 325
Description:
- Same measuring principle, materials, overall configuration and use as the mechanical flowmeter Model MF 315.
- Features a LCD display mounted on a battery operated integrated circuit board, that gives total impeller rotations enabling flow speed calculation.
- On/Off switch and reset capabilities.
- The LCD is activated for 10 seconds at a time
- Records one way only thereby prolonging the battery life.
- More accurate than the mechanical flowmeter due to less moving parts.
- Practically maintenance free being a self contained chamber
