1255AR1081MRSVV is a configured Brooks Instrument Sho-Rate 1255A low-flow glass tube variable-area flowmeter identifier. Official Brooks 1250/1255 documentation identifies 1255A as the 150 mm tube flowmeter base model and lists R1081 in the Model 1255 millimeter-reference table with a glass float, 1/4 inch float diameter, 23740 CCM air table value, and 565 CCM water table value. Exact distributor catalog pages corroborate this configured part number with 0 to 23740 CCM air and 0 to 565 CCM water context; final service suitability still depends on the physical unit label, tube/float assembly, flow curve, valve arrangement, seals, pressure, temperature, and process fluid
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
Brooks model-code documentation identifies 1250A as the 65 mm tube flowmeter base model and 1255A as the 150 mm tube flowmeter base model
Flow
Measuring principle
Variable-area flowmeter with tapered borosilicate glass metering tube and metering float
R1081 reference capacity
Brooks 1250/1255 documentation lists R1081 with glass float, 1/4 inch float diameter, 23740 CCM air, and 565 CCM water in the Model 1255 millimeter-reference capacity table
Observed exact-SKU range context
Exact distributor pages describe 1255AR1081MRSVV with 0 to 23740 CCM air and 0 to 565 CCM water range context
Configuration
Code interpretation boundary
The configured code is consistent with 1255A base model, R1081 tube/table context, millimeter scale context, 1/8 inch FNPT stainless end-block context, standard inlet-valve context, and Viton O-ring context; verify installed hardware from the physical label
Configured-unit rule
Tube number, float material, reference scale, flow units, end-block material, connection, valve, O-ring material, and process-fluid assumptions must be verified from the specific unit and documentation
Reference conditions
Brooks 1250/1255 documentation states reference conditions of 70 deg F (21.1 deg C) and 14.7 psia (1 bar absolute) for listed gas accuracy context
Performance
1255 family accuracy
Brooks 1250/1255 documentation lists Model 1255 accuracy as +/-3% full scale at reference conditions for listed gases
Repeatability
Brooks 1250/1255 documentation lists repeatability as 0.25% full scale
Pressure and temperature
Series-level pressure/temperature
Brooks 1250/1255 documentation lists 200 psig from 33 deg F to 250 deg F / 13.8 bar from 1 deg C to 121 deg C; verify the configured unit and application before using this limit
The R1081 tube entry uses float material code G, which Brooks identifies as glass
Seal context
Brooks model-code documentation maps O-ring code V to Viton for stainless-steel configurations
Connections
Connection options
Brooks 1250/1255 documentation lists 1/8 inch NPT with locknuts for aluminum or stainless steel and 1/4 inch NPT with locknuts for stainless steel only
Configured connection context
Brooks model-code documentation maps end-block material code S to 1/8 inch FNPT stainless steel; exact distributor pages list 1/8 inch FNPT connection context
Valve
Valve context
Brooks model-code documentation includes no-valve, standard inlet-valve, and limited outlet-valve configurations; the V valve code is treated as standard inlet-valve context, subject to physical label confirmation
Installation
Mounting orientation
Brooks family documentation supports panel integration, and exact distributor catalog pages identify this manufacturer model as a panel-mount, vertical variable-area flowmeter
Maintenance
Tube assembly service
Brooks documentation describes quick removal or installation of tube and float while the meter remains in process piping, and the data sheet describes EZ-CHANGE tube assembly interchangeability
Applications
Application domain
Low-flow gas and liquid indication in laboratory, industrial, and OEM applications; exact gas/liquid use is configuration and scale dependent
