The FMP2E panel mounted variable area flow meter is engineered to provide accurate and reliable monitoring of liquid and gas flow within industrial process systems. Designed for panel installation, this flow monitoring device combines visual flow indication with integrated switching functionality through two adjustable electrical contacts.
Industries such as chemical processing, water treatment, industrial automation, HVAC systems, cooling circuits, and compressed air monitoring require precise flow measurement to maintain safe and efficient operations. The FMP2E flow meter enables operators to observe real-time flow rates while simultaneously activating electrical switching signals when predefined flow thresholds are reached.
Its transparent acrylic body and magnetic stainless steel float provide clear visual flow indication, allowing maintenance personnel and system engineers to easily verify process performance.
Key Features

Design & Functionality
The FMP2E flow meter operates based on the variable area measurement principle. As fluid passes through the meter body, the magnetic float moves vertically according to the flow rate. The float position indicates the current flow level on the calibrated scale.
Two adjustable reed contacts allow operators to set switching points for process alarms or control actions. When the float reaches the selected threshold, the contact activates, enabling automation systems to trigger alarms, pumps, or control valves.
This dual-function design provides both visual flow indication and electrical switching capability, improving operational safety and system automation.
Total Crossed Beams
The internal flow chamber is carefully designed to ensure smooth fluid passage and stable float movement. The rectangular acrylic housing provides consistent measurement visibility while maintaining mechanical strength and resistance to industrial environments.
The magnetic float ensures reliable detection by the adjustable electrical contacts without direct mechanical interaction, minimizing wear and extending operational life.
Beam Pitch Options
The device supports multiple flow ranges depending on the selected model variant. This flexibility allows system designers to match the flow meter to specific process requirements such as water circulation systems, compressed air lines, chemical dosing systems, or cooling loops.
Thread connection options allow integration into various piping systems used in industrial installations.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The float movement and contact switching operate in synchronized mechanical response to the flow rate. This ensures accurate triggering of electrical signals without delay, allowing the meter to function as both a monitoring device and a control component within automated systems.
This intrinsic synchronization improves process reliability and reduces the need for additional sensors.
Operational Advantages
Using the FMP2E variable area flow meter provides several operational benefits:
- Reliable flow monitoring for industrial process control
- Dual adjustable contacts for alarm and automation signals
- Clear visual indication for maintenance and inspection
- Compact panel mounting design
- Durable materials suitable for demanding environments
- Easy installation into industrial control panels
These advantages make the FMP2E an ideal solution for engineers seeking a compact, visual flow monitoring device with integrated switching control.
