Are there instruments that combine a flow meter with a shut-off valve?

Thread Content

Is there any measuring and control instrument that combines a flow meter with a shut-off valve? It is possible to set on the flow meter to close its built-in shut-off valve once a certain cumulative flow amount has been reached with a single feed. In this way, there is no need to install the flow meter and the on/off valve separately, nor is any special interlock required. This integrated control instrument can be used for overflow prevention control in situations such as adding water, alkali or acid, one-time dosing before reaction or during ingredient preparation ； It should be more cost-effective and convenient than using a flow meter along with on/off valves separately. I searched the Internet, but it seems I didn’t find any industrial instruments of this type. At present, only household and commercial gas meters have a similar function: when gas flowing through a specified volume reaches that amount, the meter automatically shuts off the supply of gas.
