Maeda Koki MKCTV type WATER SIGNAL – Flow Indicator with Valve

Maeda Koki MKCTV type WATER SIGNAL – Flow Indicator is a high-performance flow monitoring device designed to simplify water circuit management in industrial machinery. Distinguished by its all-in-one design, this unit integrates a visual flow meter with a precision adjustment valve. Its unique internal spring mechanism allows for flexible installation in any orientation, making it the ideal choice for complex piping arrangements where space and reliability are critical.

Description

Maeda Koki MKCTV type WATER SIGNAL – Flow Indicator offers a streamlined approach to managing industrial water lines. It operates on a spring-loaded variable area principle, where the flow of water displaces a float ball within a transparent taper pipe. Operators can easily verify the flow rate by checking if the ball aligns with the prominent red indication line, ensuring the equipment receives the necessary cooling or supply volume.

What sets the MKCTV series apart is its superior versatility and durability. Unlike standard gravity-dependent water meters, this unit utilizes an internal spring that enables omnidirectional installation. It can be mounted horizontally, vertically, or sideways without affecting measurement accuracy. Additionally, it features a built-in miniature valve for direct flow throttling, eliminating the need for separate external valves. To ensure longevity in harsh factory environments, the glass components are housed within a robust metal protective cover, guarding against accidental impact and physical shock.

Features

  • It shows flow quantity by viewing
    Because use a transparent taper pipe, with a ball (or afloat) and the indication red line
    It can confirm approximate flow quantity by looking at the position concerned.
  • With flow quantity adjustment valve
    By, by adjusting a miniature valve, putting balls together at the position of the indication red line
    The setting of the necessary flow quantity is possible.
  • With protective cover
    By a metal protective cover, It reduce the possibility of damage by shocks from the outside.
  • The installation direction does not matter
    The posture when It attach it as It use a spring inside looks up and is downward, and It can perform sideways-facing freely.

Applications

MKCTV is a flow indicator, flow switch, and flow control depending on the type. Flow quantity adjustment valve, with protective cover it can confirm approximate flow quantity of the water by viewing
