The Parker FM-4 Series is a 3/4 inch PFA/PTFE Flowmeter that’s ideally suited for high purity applications where precise control and measurement of liquids is required. It utilizes a PTFE body, a high-purity PFA barrel, and precision-machined needle valve components. These features afford the flowmeter high cycle life, excellent leak integrity, and exceptional resistance to aggressive liquids.
Rather than a typical face-to-face seal, the FM-4 Series utilizes compression technology to seal the barrel to the body. This ensures reliable, leak-free operation and enables 360-degree port orientation for increased flexibility. The flowmeter’s unique PTFE float design allows for consistent read out and visibility in a wide range of chemicals.
The FM-4 Series is fitted with Parflare inlet and outlet connection types, which reduce assembly and installation time, while ensuring a leak-tight seal for performance in applications where cleanliness is critical.
