PLATON Metal Tube GMT Flanged VA Flow meter 


GMT metal tube flowmeters are variable area meters of totally welded stainless steel construction. Liquid or Gas flowing up
the tapered flowtube lifts the float to an equilibrium position, dependent on flow rate, and a magnetically coupled pointer
indicates this flow on an external scale. The large meter indication is easily visible at a distance, with the pointer moving
over a 1500 scale. Each scale is produced specifically for the fluid involved and process conditions expected: several flow
ranges are available for meters of each standard line size. All gas flow meters are supplied with an integral piston damper to
smooth out flow pulsations.

Installation is simple, in a vertical section of flow line: meters can be supplied with EN, ANSI or other standard flanges, or BSP or NPT screwed connections.

Operation & Maintenance Manual:
PLATON Metal Tube GMT Screwed VA Flow meter 


Part of the Platon GMT Variable Area flowmeter family, models GMTB and GMTS are brass or Stainless Steel tube flowmeters with female screwed connections. With 1/2”,1”and 2” BSP/NPT threaded fittings standard, the meters are ideal for arduous industrial service as an alternative to large glass tube flowmeters. They have particular advantages for gas or liquid flow measurement at high pressures and temperatures, where the fluids are opaque or dark colored or to provide higher operational security for dangerous or toxic materials.

PLATON SC250 Metal Tube Flowmeter 


Flowmeters are based in the variable area principle. The metering system consists on a calibrated orifice and a conical float. The force from the fluid, as it flows from the bottom to the top, displaces the float until it reaches an equilibrium point. Each float position represents an area between the float and the orifice.
This area corresponds to a flow rate.

PLATON AP Purgemeter


Armoured Purgemeters are direct reading flowmeters for liquid or gas measurement on small lines. Using a stainless steel
tapered tube to create a variable area flowmeter, the magnetically coupled pointer shows flowrate on an external scale.
Armoured purgemeters are chosen where the higher integrity offered by a metal flow tube is important, or where
conventional glass flow tubes are not allowed in the process. Ideal for flow monitoring in purging, mixing or sampling
systems, the meters are available with inline (API) or rear facing (APT) screwed connections.
