Re: flow rate meters in TCU
Good Point MW,
I think that a flow meter there will be a good idea, however one will not be able to see what the individual flow rate is through each of the lines. It is important to know that and that is why may be they have left it off.

Re: flow rate meters in TCU
They have had "Burger Type" for years on presses and mounted on the manifolds.
There also "flow indicators" which are multiple graduated tubes with brass "floating indicators" The tubes get dirty and unreadable. Buy form Molder's Choice,PPE,or IMS

Re: flow rate meters in TCU
The issue with flow meters is trying to go from low heat to high heat molds. I don't care what brand it is; jump from 65°F chill water to 150°F hot water for a nylon part and watch the unit start warping and spraying water! I love seeing the flow in each section of a mold, but its too easy to kill them by not letting the water temp cool or warm slightly between molds.
