How does the rotameter read

Small flow rotor flowmeter, rotor flowmeter is based on the throttling principle to measure the flow of fluid, but it is to change the flow area of fluid to maintain constant differential pressure above and below the rotor, it is also known as variable flow area constant differential pressure flowmeter, also known as the float flowmeter.

Rotameter belongs to a variable area type flowmeter, rotameter by material: metal tube rotameter, glass rotameter, plexiglass rotameter, plastic rotameter.

The characteristics of

The rotameter is one of the most commonly used flowmeters in industry and laboratory.It has the characteristics of simple structure, intuitive, small pressure loss and convenient maintenance.Rotameter is suitable for measuring small flow through pipe diameter D<150mm, but also can measure the flow of corrosive media.When in use, the flowmeter is generally installed on the pipe section of the vertical strike. The fluid medium passes through the rotameter from the bottom up. The rotameter can be installed horizontally or vertically from the top to the bottom through the specially designed rotameter.

How does the rotameter read

Reading way usually for pointer reading, there is also a liquid crystal reading, pointer reading is just to read instantaneous flow, liquid crystal words have instantaneous and cumulative flow, if there is an output can also be read from, display meter reading.
