Matheson’s HCE Series Tube-Cube® is the replacement flow tube for FM-1050 Series Flowmeters. The “cube,” a unitized tube holder, aligns the tube quickly and easily for simple tube installation or replacement. The Tube-Cube® provides protection during handling, reducing chipped tube ends, broken tubes and misalignment. The 1.5 X scale magnification lens allows for a more accurate reading. End seals in the FM-1050 are direct acting and nonrotating for fast alignment and convenient service access.

All FM-1050 Series glass metering tubes have integral float guides to ensure a guaranteed ±5% of full scale accuracy. Both glass and stainless steel floats are included (except for the E910 tube, which includes a glass float only). The meters are available in a range of 150mm reference indicating scales. Rotameter flow curves
