Rotameter is also known as variable area flow meter.
The instruments used to measure the liquid or gas volumetric flow rate as either a liquid or gas passes through a tapered tube.
A rotameter can be used for purge applications to keep process lines clear. In simple flow measurement, an alarm or an electrical output makes it possible to check flow conditions and control them continuously.
A rotameter contains a transparent, tapered, vertical tube with a small diameter at the bottom. This tube changes its cross-sectional area in order to affect the float by giving it a constant drop.
A Glass tube rotameter are extensively used in industrial areas, laboratories, and other pilot plants. Borosilicate glass is usually used to make the tube. To resist corrosion, the float is manufactured with stainless steel, glass, or plastic.
Application of Rotameter
Rotameters are used in different industries to check water flow per hour.
In the commercial Reverse osmosis system to check the flow rate per hour.
In a quality air supply system to check the air flow.
This is used where low pressure system.
Used in laboratories.
Process and oil industries.
Used in the medical field for measurement of oxygen flow rate.
Any Flow rate Measurement.
