The Dwyer IF2712 is a Series IF industrial direct reading variable area flowmeter rated to 14 GPM of water and 62 SCFM (1800 LPM) of air on a dual GPM and SCFM scale that reads flow directly, with no correlation charts. It installs vertically through 1 in. female NPT connections.
Best For
- Gas or liquid metering up to 14 GPM water or 62 SCFM air
- Industrial pneumatic or hydraulic systems
- Lines with 1 in. female NPT connections
- Process conditions up to 200 psi (13.8 bar) and 200°F (93°C)
Warranty
1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship to the original user from the date of shipment.
Key Features
Dual GPM and SCFM Direct-Reading Scale

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum flow rate of the Dwyer IF2712?
The IF2712 reads water flow up to 14 GPM and air flow up to 62 SCFM (1800 LPM) full scale.
What pipe connection size does the Dwyer IF2712 use?
The IF2712 has 1 in. female NPT inlet and outlet connections on a tube size 4 body. Seal the threaded pipe connections with PTFE tape only.
What pressure and temperature is the Dwyer IF2712 rated for?
The IF2712 is rated to 200 psi (13.8 bar) and 200°F (93°C).
Can the Dwyer IF2712 measure both air and water?
Yes. The IF2712 has a dual GPM and SCFM direct-reading scale, covering water to 14 GPM and air to 62 SCFM.
How is the Dwyer IF2712 installed?
Mount the IF2712 vertically with the inlet flow connected at the bottom port. Use properly aligned piping, avoid stress from unsupported pipe weight, and fasten the meter housing to a bulkhead, panel or stanchion. Open the inlet throttling valve gradually to avoid pressure surges on the glass flowtube.
What valves does the Dwyer IF2712 need for gas service?
Install valves at both the inlet and outlet, within 1-1/2 pipe diameters of each port. The outlet valve sets backpressure to prevent float bounce. Start with both valves closed, open the inlet valve about 1/4 turn and the outlet valve a full turn, then open both slowly to the desired flow.
How do I correct the Dwyer IF2712 reading at pressures above atmospheric?
The IF2712 is calibrated at 14.7 psia (0 psig). For gas service at higher pressure, actual flow equals K times indicated flow, where K = ((14.7 + gauge pressure) / 14.7) to the power of -1/2. Discretely calibrated meters are also available on request.
What fluids should not be used with the Dwyer IF2712?
Do not use the IF2712 with strong or hot alkalis, fluorine, hydrofluoric acid or steam, or for air or water service above 200°F (93°C). Confirm that the process fluid is compatible with the borosilicate glass, 316 SS and fluoroelastomer wetted materials.
Is NIST traceable calibration available for the Dwyer IF2712?
Yes. Order a NIST traceable calibration certificate: NISTCAL-FL1 for air flowmeters or NISTCAL-FL2 for water flowmeters.
