Designed for monitoring liquid flow in industrial hydraulic and fluid systems, this aluminum flow meter covers a measurement range of 0.5 to 5 GPM through a 1/2-inch full-port connection. The aluminum body construction keeps weight low while providing adequate durability for general-purpose fluid monitoring applications.
The Hedland Alum 1/2 Flow Mtr H601A-005, manufactured by Badger Meter, is a direct-reading inline flow meter suited for use where compact installation space and reliable flow visibility are required. Its 1/2-inch port size makes it a practical fit for smaller flow lines within hydraulic circuits and fluid handling equipment.

Question by: Donna F on Apr 8, 2025, 6:35 AM
got a 1/2in female pipe port setup, is this the right Hedland flow regulator for it?
Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 9, 2025, 4:55 PM
It matches a 1/2 inch female pipe connection, and it is a Hedland flow regulator in the 0.5 to 5 GPM range.
Question by: Hank P on Aug 2, 2025, 7:54 PM
flow range on this meter goes up to 5 GPM, that right? trying to figure out if it'll handle what we're running through a half inch line.
Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 4, 2025, 6:26 AM
For a 1/2 inch female pipe connection, the rated range on the H601A-005 runs from 0.5 GPM on the low end up to 5 GPM at the top. If your system stays within that window, you're in good shape. Aluminum body construction keeps it reasonably lightweight for inline mounting without a lot of added load on your fittings.
Question by: Merle H on Oct 25, 2025, 7:51 AM
What flow range does this meter handle? Just want to be sure it'll work for my setup.
Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 26, 2025, 4:27 PM
It's designed to accurately measure flow rates from 0.5 to 5 gallons per minute (GPM).

got a 1/2 inch hydraulic line, is this the right size flow meter for it
Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 16, 2026, 5:54 PM
For sizing, it is a 1/2 inch female port flow meter, so it matches 1/2 inch connections and is meant to thread onto a 1/2 inch male fitting.
