LET THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
ForceMeter flowmeters now include a three-wire option.  ForceMeter uses proven strain-gage technology to sense the force of the fluid in the flow stream. The new three-wire meter provides turndown up to 20:1, allowing  for lower flow rates to be measured, increasing its application flexibility. The three-wire model is also HART-compliant and FM-approved for hazardous locations.
