McMillan SCANDIUM Series Vortex Shedding Flow Meter
McMillan SCANDIUM Series Vortex Shedding Flow Meter
McMillan’s SCANDIUM Series Vortex Flow Meter is a compact, reliable, and cost-effective solution for
monitoring low-viscosity liquids. Operating on the naturally occurring phenomenon known as vortex shedding,
this meter achieves stable and accurate performance without the use of moving parts, ensuring minimal
maintenance. With options for frequency and analog outputs, it serves as an ideal choice for measuring various
fluids, including aggressive, and high-purity solutions. Its compact design makes it particularly advantageous for
installations where space is at a premium. The SCANDIUM Series Vortex Flow Meter is a versatile solution for
many different industrial applications.
