Brooks Instrument GT1600 series

Brooks Instrument GT1600 series variable area flow meter/ rotameter

Description:
The product is a rugged, versatile rotameter designed for direct, reliable measurement of gas or liquid flow in industrial and analytical systems. Constructed with robust materials and a clear glass tube, it allows visual monitoring of flow rate without external power. The GT1600 series supports moderate accuracy requirements and is suitable for a wide variety of fluid flow applications where simplicity, durability, and ease of use are priorities.

Key Features:
- Variable area (rotameter) measurement principle — simple, direct visual flow indication. 
- 316 stainless steel frame and process fittings for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. 
- Borosilicate glass tube with polycarbonate safety shield for clear visibility and protection. 
- Adjustable transparent scale allows compensation for process variations. 
- Configurable to retrofit older GT1000, GT1300, and Full-View models. 
- Optional high and low flow alarms for monitoring critical conditions. 
- 360° rotatable connections and multiple mounting options (panel or wall mount). 
- Easy in-situ maintenance — glass tube and float can be serviced without removal from piping. 
- No external power required, reducing complexity and increasing safety in hazardous areas.
