I got this flow meter offline recently. Pretty neat.





On this particular meter, I had 49 gpm on a 5/8 meter and 120psi dynamic pressure(6 rotors running).

I have used those on volumetric concrete mixers. Cool.

how do you push 49 gpm through a 5/8 meter? - thing must've been screaming

I was thinking the same thing.

I was surprised at the amount of flow. According to my charts 3/4" can flow up to 40gpm and 1" can flow up to 60gpm, so it might be feasible. 7 rotors with 2.5gpm nozzles were fogging pretty badly. I was really surprised with 120psi dynamic pressure with 7 rotors running, granted everything was going downhill with probably 20-30' elevation drop.

Pressure regulator maybe?

I question the accuracy of an electronic meter. I wonder if a bucket test would produce different results.
