"we use eight of these meters to measure the transfer of strong oxidizers, acids, and caustics. The glass-filled polypropylene construction insures that the components are impervious to even the harshest materials. Calibration can be performed easily using only one button, and is determined by the viscosity of the fluid being transferred.
The unit is powered by 2 "AA" batteries and can be completely disassembled and serviced in the field using only a phillips screwdriver.
The only drawback I've encountered is the tendency for condensation to develop within the sensor housing if the o-ring is damaged or seated improperly. This problem can be mitigated by replacing the dessicant pouch with every battery change (i get them from bags of beef jerky), and by using a key lubricant on the o-ring.
Also, resist the temptation to use compressed air to clean or test these meters. It will damage or destroy the plastic platter that actuates the magnet.
We've put these things through he||. They've metered around a half million gallons of corrosive fluids through hundreds of freeze/thaw cycles, with only the occasional hiccup. For you biodiesel enthusiasts out there, these will have no problem metering sodium methoxide, so put those beakers away!"

Tuthill Digital Flow Meter — 1in., Model# 820

"My decision to purchase this meter was; #1 it is inexpensive. #2 it can be calibrated according to the viscosity of different fluids. I use it for my biodiesel and have been able to calibrate it to the ounce! Even though the product information says it should not be used for resale my confidence level in it’s accurate icy is very high. In all it took me about two hours to install and calibrate it according to the fluid I’m using."
