For 1/8"- 2" Pipe Sizes
Style P
Compatible with aviation lubricants such as Skydrol®, as well as fire-retardant fluids such as Pydraul®, Fyrquel® and Houghton 900® series.
CHOICE OF THREE MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
Select from aluminum, brass or stainless steel to meet system requirements.
UNRESTRICTED MOUNTING
Allows the designer to install the meter in any orientation — horizontal, vertical or inverted.
MULTI-USE
Factory calibrated for phosphate esters, these versatile meters can be used to verify hydraulic power unit outputs, as well as test machinery and tools for proper fluid flow rates.
RUGGED AND RELIABLE
These meters are constructed with all metal pressure vessels that allow safe, permanent installation in industrial systems.
HIGH PRESSURE OPERATION
The magnetically coupled follower design allows operation to 6000 PSIG.
24 DIFFERENT PORTS AVAILABLE
Standard selection of NPT, SAE and BSP ports reduces the amount of adapters required for installation.
LOW COST ACCURACY
± 2.5% of range accuracy in center third of scale; ±4% in upper and lower thirds.
BI-DIRECTIONAL AND REVERSE FLOW OPTION OFFERED
Phosphate ester flow meters are also available in bi-directional and reverse flow versions. Contact Lake Monitors for more information.

Engineering Specification
THE PHOSPHATE ESTER IN-LINE FLOW RATE METER SHALL:
- Include a direct-reading scale corrected for phosphate ester media.
- Use the variable annular orifice technique with compression spring recoil.
- Not require inlet or outlet straight plumbing, or require vertical pipe mounting.
- Have a measuring accuracy of ±2.5% of full scale in the center third of the measuring range, and ±4% in upper and lower thirds.
- Have a stainless steel sharp-edged orifice.

Maximum operating pressure: |
aluminum and brass meters: 3500 PSIG (240 Bar)
stainless steel meters: 6000 PSIG (410 Bar) |
Maximum operating temperature: |
240°F (116°C)
Note: For operation to 600°F (316°C) alternate o-ring material will be required. |
Standard calibration fluids: |
DTE 25® @ 110°F (43°C), 0.873 sg
meters are density corrected to 1.15 sg |
Filtration requirements: |
74 micron filter or 200 mesh screen minimum |
1To determine approximate measuring ranges multiply the range listed in the Liquid Flow Rate section of Lake’s Guide to standard meter numbers by 0.93. For example, a P3A6WB10 would have a scale range to 10 GPM *0.93 = 9.3 GPM at full scale.
