When your process cannot be served by a standard variable area (VA) flow meter configuration, the Brooks Applications Engineering team helps define a fit-for-purpose solution—covering feasibility, form, fit and function from first review through project offering. From closest standard configuration to custom flow solution: Start with a standard Brooks rotameter, then collaborate with experienced applications engineers to determine what can be customized for your challenging process conditions, corrosion-resistance requirements or spatial constraints. Application Support: Experienced applications engineers help identify the right solution and translate process requirements into a clear product direction. Engineering Feasibility: Engineering support helps determine feasibility, form, fit and function before a custom solution is proposed. Complete Project Coverage: Brooks reviews application aspects and project needs to reduce gaps in the offering and align the configuration with the real operating environment. Custom Flow Meter Capabilities: Custom variable area flow meter solutions can span mechanical configuration, materials of construction, connection type and measurement range. Process and Performance Options: - Custom flow ranges - High-pressure connection requirements - Steam-jacketed configurations - Angled and extension meter assemblies Materials and Construction: - High-grade alloy materials for corrosion resistance - Special wetted materials and connection options - Grayloc-style high-pressure assemblies - Configurations for severe operating environments Start with a Standard Variable Area Flow Meter: A custom flow solution begins by selecting the closest standard configuration, then reviewing what must change to meet your application. 01 Define the Base Flow Meter: Identify the closest Brooks standard variable area flow meter platform for your process. 02 Review Requirements: Share process conditions, connections, materials and installation constraints. 03 Confirm Feasibility: Engineering reviews form, fit and function to validate the proposed path. 04 Build the Solution: The product solution is aligned to the full application scope to help avoid gaps.
