      Cost Flow Measurement Devices Hoffer Flow Controls, Inc.; Elizabeth City, North Carolina The
      low cost Lo-Co Series is an inexpensive turbine flowmeter for liquid
      service. A true industrial flowmeter, this product is constructed of 316
      stainless steel and NPT type end fittings.  Selection
      of a flowmeter for many industrial applications is cost driven, where the
      user is often unable to include a high priced precision flowmeter. The
      Lo-Co Series provides the user with the most economical solution. This
      series is ideal for OEM manufacturers who need a low cost flowmeter
      incorporated into their equipment, utility firms and industrial plants for
      water monitoring, and petrochemical processing, to name a few. The
      Lo-Co turbine flowmeter is available in nine overlapping sizes from ¼ to
      2 inches. The product performance specifications provide for +/-1%
      accuracy and can be configured in a 4-20mA output, conditioned pulse
      output or with indicator/totalizer packages. The Lo-Co is available in
      explosion-proof configuration and is CE compliant. For
