How much lighter is the LGF-PA66 flowmeter than stainless steel?

The LGF-PA66 uses aviation-grade PA66 composite with a density of about 1.14 g/cm³ — roughly one sev

The LGF-PA66 uses aviation-grade PA66 composite with a density of about 1.14 g/cm³ — roughly one seventh of 304 stainless steel (7.93 g/cm³). A DN100 LGF-PA66 body weighs around 3.5 kg, while a comparable stainless steel electromagnetic flowmeter typically exceeds 18 kg.

In practice this means one technician can carry the meter into a valve pit and set it in place without lifting gear or a second worker. For retrofit projects, elevated pipework and cramped meter chambers, the weight saving translates directly into lower installation cost.

  • Flange dimensions follow GB/T 9119, so bolt patterns match existing pipe flanges — no adapters when replacing old meters.
  • The PA66 body has inherent vibration damping; no extra damping pads are needed on pump discharge lines.
