Kofloc Model RK4400 Precision Flow Meter for Pressure Regulator

The Kofloc Model RK4400 Precision Flow Meter is specifically designed for seamless connection to precision pressure regulators and cylinder regulators. It combines Kofloc’s high-precision molded glass tube technology with the world-renowned Model 2412 precision needle valve. This integration ensures that gas flow is not only measured with high accuracy but also controlled with extreme stability, even in high-purity gas applications where waste and contamination must be strictly avoided.

Description

The RK4400 Series is the professional choice for laboratories and industrial sites that use gas cylinders. While most flow meters require separate piping and mounting, the RK4400 attaches directly to the regulator body (typically via a PF 1/4 or standard thread).

A key advantage of this model is its construction. Kofloc utilizes specialized cleaning and assembly methods to ensure the meter is compatible with high-purity, high-price standard gases. The internal design minimizes the “absorption” of constituent gases and prevents outgassing from the parts, preserving the integrity of your gas mixture. Additionally, the high-precision molding of the tapered tube ensures that the float remains stable and the reading stays accurate even if the cylinder setup is slightly inclined.

The natural environment is preserved through the balance of solids, liquids and gases that exist on the earth. However, human civilization has caused pollution that has greatly damaged our environment. The task of the present generation is to restore our environment to its natural healthy state. And this is also the greatest challenge for 21st century science and technology.

KOFLOC's corporate motto is "A Scientific Approach for Fluids." In other words, we create products that scientifically measure and control the balance of liquids and gases. We trust that through our work we are making a contribution to the regeneration of the environment and to the establishment of a prosperous society.
