Installation and Reading Notes
Brooks instructions for the legacy 1350E family include the following operating requirements.
- Mount the flowmeter within 6° of true vertical.
- The inlet connection is in the bottom end fitting.
- Read flow at the center of the spherical float.
- Perform the final plumbing and meter leak test before introducing process fluid.
- An integral control valve is intended for fine control; use a separate shutoff valve when tight shutoff is required.
- Inspect and clean the tube and float periodically because contamination can cause indication error or float sticking.
Legacy and Replacement Status
Brooks directs users from the legacy 1350E/1355E entry to the current Sho-Rate product family, which lists revision-G 1350G/1355G models.
