Description
Liquid Controls F-Series Strainers for Meter Protection
Liquid Controls F-Series Strainers are engineered to safeguard precision metering systems by effectively removing particulate matter before it can enter and damage the Flow meter. By filtering out pipeline debris such as metal burrs, scale, and foreign contaminants, these strainers significantly extend the service life of meter elements and prevent costly downtime. While not intended as primary system filters, they provide critical last-line defense specifically for the meter itself.
Key Features and Benefits
