CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Use of all the construction materials industrially available from cast iron // cast steel to the various grades of stainless steel up to AISI 316 L in relation to the corrosiveness of the liquids metered.
Possibility of using different construction materials between outer housing and measuring unit (inner housing plus rotors and timing gears). Typical example: PD meters with carbon steel outer housing and stainless steel measuring unit.
For the measurement of diluted hydrocloric acid and diluted sulphuric acid a version completly manufactured in plastic (moplen) with shafts and screws in hastelloy B is available.

From the relevant tables select the construction material more suitable for the specific needs either for what concerns the outer housing either for what concern the measuring unit.
