Brooks Instrument Sho-Rate 1355E Variable Area Flowmeter
About this part
1355EG2BCFA1A is a configured Brooks Instrument Sho-Rate 150 / Model 1355E glass tube variable-area flowmeter. Official Brooks 1350E/1355E documentation identifies 1355E as the 150 mm Sho-Rate family and provides the model-code table used to decode this configured code as a 1355E meter with an R-6-15-A tube, stainless steel float, special single scale, Viton tube packing and O-rings, 316 stainless steel threaded 1/8 in. NPT fittings with locknuts, a valve plug, inlet valve cavity location, and no accessory code. Stored Sonisys auction records and a live eBay listing identify the exact code as a Brooks Instrument Sho-Rate flow meter; the installed special scale fluid and range should still be verified from the physical scale and label
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.

Configuration
Configured-unit rule
Special scale fluid, direct-reading range, calibration basis, condition of the glass tube and float, seals, connection condition, and process suitability must be verified from the physical unit
Observed variants
Stored auction context
Stored Sonisys title evidence and a live eBay listing identify this exact configured code as a Brooks Instrument Sho-Rate flow meter
Applications
Application domain
Low-flow gas and liquid indication, purge flow service, panel-mounted rotameter applications, and configured flow-control assemblies where the unit's materials and calibration match the process
