F Bamford (Instruments) Ltd
Frank Smith was the designer of the flow switch during the Second World War. It was produced as a way of guarding large Mirrlees diesel engines against a loss of cooling water.
A range of additional flow instrumentation products were designed and added to the portfolio with temperature, pressure and level devices all manufactured to the same rugged specification. A flameproof range was also designed for use in coal mines and petro-chemical installations.
Our flow instrumentation products today include: mechanical and electronic flowmeters, flow, temperature, pressure and level switches, flow indicators and sight glasses, exhaust gas temperature monitoring systems, fibre optics shaft wear gauges.

Variable Area Mechanical Flowmeter
The Variable Area Mechanical Flowmeters Series CMS were designed for accurate measurements of most types of liquids in the harshest of environments. The design is based on a spring loaded variable orifice in which the flow causes a sharp-edged plunger to move within a female cone. The movement is balanced by a spring such that it is proportional to flowrate. The plunger carries a magnet which transmits the movement to the indicating pointer.
The variable area mechanical flowmeters are manufactured from non-ferrous materials and are therefore suitable for most liquids including sea water and oils. The screwed end connections are free to rotate, allowing easy installation and lining-up. The flowmeters have been extensively tested by the Royal Navy at the Admiralty Research Establishment, Halsar and are used in the chilled water systems of many of the Navy’s Ships, as well as on other systems in the engine rooms.
