Low flow rate

Hi Folks,

A will be shocked if anyone can suggest a solution to this problem.

Basically i have to balance a load of radiant panels which have a flow rate of 0.004 litres a second but on the commissioning set it wont turn down low enough to get a reading. I cant find a Manometer that measures this low and to add to the problem there is roughly 300 rads fitted.

Any suggestions or questions welcome

Bur balancing is about temperature not flow rate - n'est pas?

Sorry my wording wasn't great, Yeah balancing isn't same as flow rate, would you agree if you can measure such a low flow rate to give a perfect system then the only other way would be to heat balance the system?
