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

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?
