Kofloc Model RK1700 Low-cost Flowmeter: Efficient Superior Value

Kofloc Model RK1700 Low-cost Flowmeter is a versatile variable area flowmeter that proves high performance doesn’t always come with a high price tag. By optimizing the body structure and utilizing a simplified needle valve design, Kofloc has created a meter that is compact, lightweight, and highly durable.

Description

Description

Kofloc Model RK1700 Low-cost Flowmeter: Efficient Superior Value is a highly efficient, compact flow measurement device designed for users who require Kofloc’s legendary precision at a budget-friendly price point. Engineered for the measurement of air and water, the Kofloc Model RK1700 Low-cost Flowmeter features a streamlined resin-block or metal-plate construction that maintains a superior level of accuracy while significantly reducing manufacturing costs. This makes it the ideal choice for integration into mass-produced equipment or general laboratory monitoring.

Kofloc Model RK1700 Low-cost Flowmeter maintains the fundamental quality of a Japanese-made instrument. It features a tapered glass tube housed in a rigid frame. Unlike the high-end precision models that use non-rotating needles, the RK1700 utilizes a standardized needle valve at the bottom of the unit to keep costs low while still providing functional flow adjustment.

The body is available in either Stainless Steel (SUS316) for corrosive environments or Brass for general-purpose air and water lines. This flexibility allows engineers to specify exactly what they need without over-paying for unnecessary features. Its “block” style design ensures it remains stable when mounted and minimizes the risk of glass breakage in busy industrial settings.

Why the RK1700 Series is the Best Investment

Investing in the Kofloc Model RK1700 Low-cost Flowmeter is an efficient decision for any facility looking to maximize their budget without sacrificing measurement quality. In modern industrial environments, the most superior way to reduce overhead is to select components that offer “just-right” precision for utility monitoring. The Kofloc Model RK1700 Low-cost Flowmeter fills this gap perfectly, providing the reliability of a Japanese-made instrument at a fraction of the cost of analytical-grade models.

The efficient synergy between its simplified valve design and clear measurement scale ensures that your flow rates stay within the desired range. Backed by Kofloc’s reputation for reliability, the Kofloc Model RK1700 Low-cost Flowmeter is built to provide years of superior service in general-purpose applications. When your project demands efficient flow management and an outstanding price-to-performance ratio, the RK1700 series is the most dependable solution available.
