BW MS6 SONIC-PRO® Chemical Feed Flow Meter

SONIC-PRO® Chemical Feed Flow Meter

The MS6 accurately measures liquid chemical feed from ranges of 10 – 5,000 mL/min and 100 – 10,000 mL/min.  This plug-and-play flow meter works right out of the box but is easily configurable via Blue-Central® desktop software.

Pre-calibrated chemicals include Water, Aqueous Ammonia 10%, Ammonium Hydroxide 30%, Ferric Chloride 40%, Sodium Hypochlorite 12.5%, Sodium Permanganate 40%, Hydrofluorosilicic Acid 25%, and Ammonium Sulfate 10%.  Additional chemicals can be calibrated by performing a custom chemical calibration.
