It does not have a cover. Scales: Front: Delta P (liquid pressure drop, psi), %QC2 (C2 obtained from body style), P1 (inlet pressure, psig), Inlet density lb/ft3 for gas or vapour or specific gravity of liquid Q (flow rate, scfh), Cv for liquid, Cg for gas. Back: Delta P (pressure drop for gas or steam, psi), %QC2, P1 (inlet pressure, psig), gas specific gravity, Temperature (F) Superheat (F), C1, Flow Q (scfh for gas and thousands of lb/hr for steam), Cg for gas and Cs for steam, %QC1.
