 INTRODUCTION 

 

The TX200 Flowmeter is for use with many types of gases.  Parts in contact with gases are of a 316 (A4) 
stainless steel construction.  The enclosure for the pointer and interface board is produced from an 
aluminium billet with a hard anodised coating.  
 
All versions have an analogue pointier and graduated scale display.  This can be a percentage display 
(0

–100%), or a calibrated scale to suit customer requirements.   

 
The TX200 Flowmeter can be fitted with a rotary encoder.  This gives 4-20mA output that reflects the 
specific flow rate of the flowmeter.
