KOBOLD VKM-12-09-R0-N20-0-X Viscosity-Compensated Flow Meter and Switch
The KOBOLD VKM-12-09-R0-N20-0-X is a high-performance flow meter and switch designed for precise monitoring and measurement of viscous liquids. Engineered with a unique viscosity-compensation mechanism, this instrument ensures consistent accuracy across changing fluid thicknesses, making it highly reliable for industrial lubrication, hydraulics, and oil-feed lines. The all-metal construction provides high pressure resistance and long-term durability in rugged industrial processes.

Advanced Viscosity Compensation Engineering
Standard flow switches often deliver false readings when fluid temperatures change and viscosity shifts. The VKM-12-09-R0-N20-0-X eliminates this issue through its patented orifice and spring design. By stabilizing the float position relative to velocity rather than viscosity variations, it guarantees stable switching points and precise, ongoing monitoring without requiring constant recalibration.
