The Thermo Scientific DCT6088

Product Specifications
advanced transit time flowmeter
employs a unique digital correlation
technique to reliably measure the flow
of clean liquids. Designed for use
on pipes of all sizes, the non-intrusive
device is easy-to-install, simple
to operate, and eliminates pressure
loss and leakage which reduces
downtime and increases profit potential.
