A Measuring Device is an instrument, mechanically designed to accurately monitor and quantify physical parameters such as fluid flow, pressure, and temperature.

Water Meter

A Water Meter is a precision instrument designed to measure and record the volume of water passing through a pipeline using a calibrated internal turbine to calculate exact usage.

Fluids: Potable Water, Irrigation Water
Applications: Water Distribution Networks, Industrial Plants

Connection Methods: Flanged, Threaded

Pros: Cost Saving, Leak Detection, Real Time Data

Cons: Sensitive to Debris, Non Potable Water, Corrosive Fluids​

Flow Meter

A Flow Meter is a safety instrument designed to verify the water flow rate in sprinkler systems. It is primarily used during the testing of fire pumps to ensure they are delivering the correct volume of water required to extinguish a fire.
Fluids: Potable Water

Applications: Fire Fighting

Connection Methods: Wafer, Grooved

Pros: High Precision, High Visibility, Low Maintenance
Cons: Limited Accuracy Range, Installation Constraints

Thermometer

A Thermometer is an instrument designed to measure and indicate the thermal temperature of fluids and gases within a system.
Fluids: Water, Oil, Steam, Gas, Air
Applications: HVAC, Manufacturing

Connection Methods: Mounted

Pros: Maintenance Free Operations, High Durability, No Power Required

Cons: Vibration Sensitive​

Anodized aluminum thermometers with dual scale Celsius and Fahrenheit

Flow Switch

A Flow Switch is an electro-mechanical safety device designed to monitor the movement of liquid within a pipeline. If the flow stops or drops below a set limit, the switch triggers an alarm or shuts down equipment.

Fluids: Water, Oil, Non-Corrosive Fluids
Applications: Fire Fighting, Plumbing, HVAC

Connection Methods: Threaded, Mounted via Welded Half Coupling

Pros: Equipment Protection and Damage Prevention, Operational Efficiency and Automation, Safety and Compliance, Cost Effective

Cons: Preventive Maintenance Required

Pressure Gauge

A Pressure Gauge is a mechanical measuring instrument designed to indicate the internal pressure of fluids or gases within a system. It is the primary tool used in all industrial and commercial sectors to monitor system health, ensure safety limits are not exceeded, and maintain optimal operating conditions.

Fluids: Water, Oil, Air, Steam
Applications: Fire Fighting, Oil & Gas, Plumbing, HVAC

Connection Type: Threaded

Pros: Operational Efficiency, Cost Effective, No Power Required

Cons: Calibration and Preventive Maintenance Required
