Dwyer MMA-30 Mini-Master Flowmeter
The Dwyer MMA-30 is a Mini-Master® Series MMA variable area flowmeter that reads 1 to 8 GPH water directly on a 2 in. (51 mm) scale with ±4% FS accuracy. Its transparent Nylon 12 body accepts a field configurable metering valve in the lower opening for pressure-fed service or the upper opening for vacuum service, and it is rated to 100 psi with a compression fitting and 130°F.
Specifications verified October 14, 2026 against the Dwyer Series MM catalog (pp. 250-251) and Bulletin F-49 Rev. 9 (9/19).
Best For
- Direct reading of 1 to 8 GPH water on a 2 in. scale
- Chemical injectors
- Medical equipment
- Panel or surface mounted installations with minimal space
Warranty
Dwyer warrants this product for one year from delivery to the buyer under its standard warranty, unless a product-specific warranty supplied with the product states another period. Damage due to contact with incompatible gases or liquids is not covered by warranty, so confirm compatibility before placing the meter in service.
Key Features
Direct-Reading 2 in. Scale
Reads 1 to 8 GPH water directly with ±4% FS accuracy. Side printed scale graduations give an instant reading, and a white back on the flow tube makes the float easier to see.
Field Configurable Metering Valve
Install the valve in the lower opening for pressure-fed service or in the upper opening for vacuum service with the installation tool provided. The standard factory configuration has both front openings plugged for operation without a valve.
Transparent Nylon 12 Body
Precision-molded transparent nylon offers high chemical resistance and high repeatability, and disassembles with the provided key for cleaning or reconfiguration.
Up to 100 psi with Compression Union
Rated 100 psi (6.9 bar) with a 5/16 in. compression union and 50 psi (3.4 bar) with the spring tubing clamp. Temperature limit is 130°F (54°C).
Panel or Surface Mounting
Panel mount through two 11/32 in. holes on 3 in. centers with spring retainer clips, or snap the meter into a plastic mounting clip on a horizontal surface. Install the meter vertically.
Compact, Low Installation Cost
The compact body needs minimal panel space and mounts easily, keeping installation costs low.

Frequently Asked Questions
What flow range does the Dwyer MMA-30 measure?
The MMA-30 reads 1 to 8 GPH water directly on a 2 in. (51 mm) scale with ±4% FS accuracy.
What pressure and temperature is the Dwyer MMA-30 rated for?
The pressure limit depends on the connection: 25 psi max with 1/4 in. ID x 3/8 in. OD plastic tubing slipped at least 3/8 in. onto the connections; 50 psi max with the same tubing and spring type tubing clamps installed on both connections; 100 psi (6.9 bar) max with a suitable 5/16 in. compression union and metal or semi-rigid plastic tubing. The temperature limit is 130°F (54°C).
Does the Dwyer MMA-30 include a valve?
Yes. The MMA-30 includes the field configurable metering valve. Install it in the lower opening for pressure-fed service or in the upper opening for vacuum service.
Can the Dwyer MMA-30 be used on vacuum service?
Yes. Install the valve in the upper opening. Remove the top plug, cut off the protruding ball stop leaving no more than a 1/32 in. stub, reassemble the top plug, then thread in the valve assembly with the installation tool, limiting torque to 3 in-lb.
How is the Dwyer MMA-30 mounted?
Install it vertically. For panel mounting, drill two 11/32 in. holes on 3 in. centers on a vertical line, insert the meter from the front and push on the spring retainer clips from the rear. For surface mounting, attach the plastic mounting clip to a horizontal surface with #4 Phillips B-type self-tapping screws and snap the meter into the clip.
How do I clean the Dwyer MMA-30?
Wash the body and parts in a mild soap and water solution; a cotton swab or soft bristle brush helps clean the flow tube. Avoid solvents and liquid soaps and avoid prolonged immersion. Coat O-rings with silicone stop cock grease or petroleum jelly when reassembling.
What is the Dwyer MMA-30 made of?
The body is transparent Nylon 12, O-rings are Buna-N, and the float is black glass, K monel, stainless steel or tungsten carbide.
