I would need to know the model number of the meter you are talking about, in order to tell you if it can be field calibrated or not. A simple way to tell if it can be field calibrated is by looking at the buttons on the display. - If it has only one button (display) it cannot be field calibrated. - If it has two buttons (calibrate & display) it can be field calibrated. @Jared

These typically use only water, however I am evaluating a chiller that would be located outdoors and exposed to subfreezing temperatures and will need to be charged with glycol mixtures. Are there published correction factors for various concentrations of glycol (both Ethylene and Propylene) and at different temperatures? I will need to do some up-front testing, but if I have some idea what to expect, it will minimize the time and expense.

If you are looking for the turbine with just a pulse output you would order the GSPCS-100 or the GSPCS-150 with a Digital Di-Mag pick-up (<a href="http://catalog.gpi.net/item/industrial-flowmeters/magnetic-pickups-2/pn-2499?&seo=110&bc=1002|1008y" rel="nofollow">part # 81004000</a>). This will give you a square wave pulse output. The GSPCS-100 and GSPCS-150 can be ordered in many ways.

The drawing is showing a signal output to the PLC. Is the part number GSPCS-150 or 100 capable of providing a flow signal output and if yes what type of signal?
