Carlon’s vertical positive displacement® oscillating piston meter is designed for vertical installation but can be installed horizontally or on an incline provided the meter remains full of water. The meter has a built-in back flow preventer and is housed in an engineered plastic with is corrosion resistant liquid-sealed register for easy reading. The meter is available in gallons at 1 GPC (1 gallon per contact) or liters at 1LPC (1 liter per contact).
The piston meter ensures high sensitivity and accurate registration throughout the range.
