FTB790 Series Intrinsically Safe Turbine Meters with microprocessor-based electronics offers a durable, compact, high-precision fluid measurement device, with total and rate indication. Information is clearly displayed on a large 6-digit liquid crystal display with only 2-point floating decimal for totals from 0.01 to 999,999. All operations are easily performed with only 2 buttons.
The basic unit and display are powered by 2 AAA Alkaline batteries, providing up to 2 years of use. Cumulative total, batch total, and rate of flow are standard. A single-point field calibration curve can be stored in memory.
Thank you for your inquiry. Other than the life span of the battery, when maintained, the inline flow meter will have a life span measured in years, approximately 5 ~ 8 years.

What are the allowable mounting orientations? Vertical / flow up, vertical / flow down, horizontal?
Asked by: Bocephus
Thank you for your inquiry about the inline flow meter. The orientation can be mounted in any position, yet, in a vertical position, the flow must go from floor to ceiling and must be full of flow at all times.

can these be utilized with nozzles?
Asked by: AB12345
The FTB791 requires a laminar flow in order to work properly. You cannot mount this sensor right before a nozzle. This sensor needs a straight pipe before and after the sensor. The FTB791 needs at least 15 inches of straight pipe before and 10 inches after the sensor. Please contact our Tech Support or flow@omega.com so we can fully understand your application to further advise as you need. Thank you!

Can you change the display unit from gallons to liters?
Asked by: Nate22
Thank you for your inquiry. The inline flow meter will have to be ordered to have the display read in LPM.
