ROTAMETERS
When fluid or gas flows through a taper tube containing a float, a pressure difference of P1 and
P2 is created between upper and lower side of the float. The float moves upwards by a force
obtained by multiplying the pressure differential by the maximum cross sectional area of the
float.
Due to taper tube, as the float moves upwards, the fluid passing area increases as a result of
which the differential pressure decreases. Upward movement of float stops when the dead load
is dynamically balanced by the differential pressure. Tapering of metering tube is so designed
that the vertical movement of the float becomes linearly proportional to the rate of flow and the
scale is provided to read the position of the float, thus giving birth to flow rate indication.
Based on Bemoulli's theorem, the principle mentioned above can be theoretically expressed as
follows.
FLOW FORMULA

Where
Q = Volumetric flow rate V = Volume of Float
C = Flow coefficient Af = Maximum pressure receiving area of float.
A = Fluid passing Area P = Float Density
g = gravimetric acceleration y = Fluid Density

THERE ARE VARIOUS TYPES OF FLOW METERS AVAILABLE NAMELY :


¾ GLASS TUBE ROTAMETERS ¾ BY-PASS ROTAMETER COMPLETE ASSEMBLIES
¾ PLASTIC BODY ROTAMETERS ¾ GANG / MULTIPLE ROTAMETERS
¾ METAL TUBE ROTAMETERS WITH DIGITAL FLOW RATE INDICATION ¾ ROTEMERS AS PER SAMPLE & OR DRAWING
¾ METEL TUBE ROTAMETER WITH TRANSMITTER
i.e. 4-20 mA output & DIGITAL TOTALISER
( OPERATING ON 4-20mA OUTPUT

DIGITAL METAL TUBE MAGNETIC ROTAMETERS


The inner Float Magnetic Field is detected by the high sensitive
mangetic field detection sensor, enable\us to show the digital
readout.
As such this flow meter does not require anyelectrical connection,
since it operates on battery, This got an inbuilt two wire transmitter 24
VDC and take 4-20 mA signal.
If Flow Totalization is required rotameter can be manufactured with
inbuit Flow Totalizer
