Introduction to Rotameters

Nov. 18, 2012

The rotameter is an industrial flowmeter used to measure the flowrate of liquids and gases. The rotameter consists of a tube and float. The float response to flowrate changes is linear, and a 10-to-1 flow range or turndown is standard. In the case of OMEGA® laboratory rotameters, far greater flexability is possible through the use of correlation equations. The rotameter is popular because it has a linear scale, a relatively long measurement range, and low pressure drop. It is simple to install and maintain.

Turbine Meter Enables Flow, Density, Temperature & Pressure Measurement

Spirax Sarco's EMCO branded MassTracker insertion turbine mass flowmeter line is featured in the following video. The instrument features multivariable measurement versatility, combining measurements of mass or volumetric flow, density, temperature and pressure in one device. Tappable into lines from three inches to 80 inches at full flow conditions, the MassTracker can be mounted virtually anywhere. The hot-tap capabilities allows the instrument to be installed and serviced without process shutdown — a feature that not only saves on labor costs, but also avoids disruption of critical processes.
