The Model PFA FM approved Fire Pump System features the Preso Ellipse. The Ellipse is a primary flow sensor designed to produce a differential pressure that is proportional to the fl ow. Its patented elliptical shape provides the lowest pressure loss in the industry. The Ellipse fl ow meter is designed with a series of ports facing the upstream velocity pressures and flow sensing ports strategically located ahead of the trailing edge flow separation. As a result the Ellipse is capable of highly accurate, precise fl ow mea sure ments that are proportional to the actual flow rate.

The gage is a Direct-Readout meter with a dial featuring a 270° arc for fast and accurate reading. A precision engineered, dust-tight case ensures trou ble-free op er a tion. Preso gages are protected against overload by a unique diaphragm housing design. When the pressure difference exceeds the range, the gage will accept the accidental appli ca tion of up to 60 PSIG without damage. Under normal conditions the differential pressure should not exceed the range of the gage.
