Our Type 804 ExP insertion flowmeters will measure bi-directional flow rates as low as 0.02m/s and up to 5 m/s with accuracies of better than 0.002m/s. Add a real-time temperature measurement we can help you manage your water distribution networks.

A highly cost-effective solution due to reliability, ease of installation and recovery, with no interruption to supply, for pipe diameters from 70mm (Type804 mini) to 2000mm.

  • The External Power version of the Type 804 can be powered by a 12 to 28 V DC supply
    –  a single internal battery will cover power outages
