FTB790-Series

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.

Thank you for your inquiry. This flow meter is designed for thin fluids < 100 cP

Unfortunately no. The minimum flow rate that this flowmeter will measure accurately is 3.8 LPM.

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.

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!

Thank you for your inquiry. The inline flow meter will have to be ordered to have the display read in LPM.

Thank you for your inquiry. Lubrication is not used in the assembly for the FTB790 series.
