description

1.1.1 Liquid

flow

The Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. series LIQUI-FLOW L30 meter/controller for liquids is an accurate device for
measuring liquid flows from 2 kg/h up to 20 kg/h with pressures up to 400 bar depending on body rating,
virtually independent of pressure and temperature changes. The system can be completed with a control
valve and flexible readout unit to measure and control liquid flows.

1.1.2 Housing

Each instrument housing style incorporates several provisions to comply with EMC requirements.

Meter housing

Controller housing with C5 valve
