Rugged and accurate, these TSO-C44a qualified turbine flowmeters are designed to be mounted directly on an aircraft engine within a high-pressure fuel loop. Models are available to measure flowrates from 0.2 to 17 gallons per minute, and when ordered with an integral temperature sensor, 100 to 7000 pounds per hour. Each device is individually calibrated to be accurate to within +/- 1 percent at cruise conditions.
Features:
- Lower cost – simple design
- Low pressure drop
- Seamless fuel path
- Integrated temperature sensor
