Turbo-Lux ® 3

 

Orifice flow meter for sprinkler systems with three approvals: FM, LPCB and VdS.

The Turbo – Lux® 3 is the world’s first and only flow meter approved by all three test institutes (FM, LPCB and VdS). Large corporations and companies globally can therefore benefit from a uniform international solution for their fire safety systems.
In addition to the standard version, we also offer a special version for shorter inlet and outlet sections.

Special features:

  • Security certified by three independent certification companies in a single device (FM, LPCB and VdS).
  • Nominal sizes from DN 50 (2 «) to DN 300 (12»).
  • Covers measurement ranges from 75 to 38,000 lpm (20 – 10,000 USgpm).
  • Easy to install with grooved connection to the pipe network.
  • Thanks to the sophisticated design, the device is ready for operation after connection to the pipe network with a single threaded connection, ensuring a quick and simple connection.
  • The only manufacturer with a VdS approval that offers good connections.
  • High and constant precision reading.
  • Flexible installation location, installation position and flow direction.
  • It is not susceptible to vibrations.
  • Robust, low-maintenance design.
  • Reliable and long service life.
  • Calibration certificate (optional).
  • Available in the short term.
