M Series Variable Area Flowmeters (M1, M2, M3, and MH Models)
Swagelok M series models contain metal measuring tubes, which are used for difficult operating conditions where pressure, temperature, or both are factors. Because direct readings are not possible with metal tubes, these flowmeters are equipped with mechanical or electronic displays.

Calibration and Testing
Every Swagelok variable area flowmeter is factory calibrated to the selected media,
flow range, and accuracy class using clean, dry air for air flow range models and
water for water range models. Meters can be calibrated to user-specific applications.
Cleaning and Packaging
All Swagelok variable area flowmeters are cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and burrs
and are individually boxed. Oil- and grease-free cleaning are available on request.
Installation
Variable area flowmeters must be oriented vertically, except for the MH model,
which is mounted horizontally. For complete installation information,
see the Swagelok Variable Area Flowmeters Installation Instructions, G Series and
M Series.
