Variable Area Flowmeters
Variable area flowmeters show flow by the position of a float inside a tapered tube. This category lists rotameters, direct reading glass flowmeters, flow tubes, rotatable scale flowmeters, and polycarbonate and fluoropolymer flowmeters. They need no power for a local reading.
They give a simple visual reading on water, air, gas and chemical lines. Check the fluid, flow range, scale units, connection size and whether glass, plastic or fluoropolymer construction suits the media and the surroundings.
- Local flow indication on water supply lines
- Gas flow checks on laboratory setups
- Dosing line monitoring for chemicals
