Warranty
DwyerOmega limited warranty: free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for one year from delivery, or such other period as specified in a product-specific warranty supplied with the product. Team Zot supports warranty claims at 855-825-2811 or sales@zotsupply.com.
Key Features
Direct-Reading LPM Scale
The 2 in. (51 mm) scale reads 5 to 70 LPM air directly, eliminating troublesome conversions.
Top Mounted Valve
Top mounted flow control valve. On vacuum air service the control valve belongs on the discharge side of the flowmeter, and the TMV unit may be applied there.
Stainless Steel Backbone
Absorbs piping torque to reduce installation damage and cost.
Shatter-Proof Polycarbonate Body
Durable body built for long operating life.
High Repeatability
Precision injection molding around a precision tapered pin, with integral flow guides that stabilize float movement.
Graduations on Both Sides
Scale graduations on both sides of the indicating tube give an instant flow reading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What flow range does the Dwyer RMA-24-TMV-BSPT measure?
The Dwyer RMA-24-TMV-BSPT reads 5 to 70 LPM air on a 2 in. (51 mm) direct-reading scale.
How accurate is the Dwyer RMA-24-TMV-BSPT?
Accuracy is 4% of full scale (4% FS).
What are the pressure and temperature limits of the RMA-24-TMV-BSPT?
The RMA-24-TMV-BSPT is rated to 100 psi (6.9 bar) and 130°F (54°C). Do not exceed these limits.
How is the Dwyer RMA-24-TMV-BSPT mounted?
Mount it vertically with the inlet at the bottom rear and the outlet at the top rear. It can be mounted through the panel using a 4-5/8 in. high x 7/8 in. wide (11.75 x 2.22 cm) cutout, surface mounted, or supported on rigid piping. Do not exceed 5 in-lb on the clamp bolts.
Can the Dwyer RMA-24-TMV-BSPT be used on vacuum air service?
Yes. On vacuum air service the flow control valve should be on the discharge side of the flowmeter, and the top mounted valve unit may be applied for this. Keep inlet piping as short and open as possible so the meter operates near atmospheric pressure.
What thread are the process connections on the RMA-24-TMV-BSPT?
The RMA-24-TMV-BSPT has BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) process connections.
What fluids should not be used with the RMA-24-TMV-BSPT?
Caustic solutions, antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and aromatic solvents should not be used, and solutions of acids, bases or salts with a pH below 5.0 or above 8.5 should be avoided. Keep the installation away from strong chlorine atmospheres and solvents such as benzene, acetone and carbon tetrachloride.
Can the RMA-24-TMV-BSPT be cleaned without removing the piping?
Yes. First make sure the flowmeter is unpressurized and drained of any liquid. Remove the four mounting bracket screws and pull the body forward; the piping connections stay intact. Remove the top mounted valve by pulling up gently on the valve knob to release the valve body seals. Clean the flow tube and body with pure soap and water and a soft brush.
