Introduction
The AkroFlow™ flow meter is a 2” full-bore corrosion resistant plastic bodied electromagnetic (mag meter) flow meter
designed for testing fire fighting equipment. The AkroFlow™ is provided with a 2-1/2” female fulltime swivel on the
inlet and a 2-1/2” male thread on the outlet, both made from hardcoat aluminum.
With no moving parts in the flow path, the AkroFlow™ mag meter permits unobstructed flow, minimizing flow
disturbances. The hinged, polyethylene cover protects from dust and UV rays, while permitting easy access to the
LCD flow rate and totalizer display. Flow rate and total flow is selectable between gallons/minute, liters/minute or
liters/second.
The AkroFlow™ is powered by six (6) AA lithium batteries which are easily sourced and replaceable. Batteries
should be changed when the “Lo Batt” (low battery) indicator appears. Batteries will not be included with shipments
outside the domestic U.S.A.
