Visual Flow Indicators
Specialty Manufacturing Solutions supplies quality Visual Flow Indicators to industrial manufacturers and OEM markets. Our Flow Devices are designed to handle many flow applications.
VFI Applications
The Model 202 Visual Flow Indicator (VFI) is a durable, efficient and inexpensive device used to monitor liquid flow. A few of the most common applications for the VFI include the monitoring of cooling water to welding and die casting machines.
The movement of the multi-colored balls inside a a clear lens mounted in a forged brass base readily indicates flow within the system. The VFI is designed for easy in-line or panel installation. The VFI operates in all planes and positions, vertical and horizontal, providing visibility from virtually any angle.
