Used for monitoring process, instrument impulse-line, purge-gas, flushing- or cooling-media, make-up, reactor-gas and liquid- feed flows; additional rotameter applications include the following: Chemical injection/dosing – controlling flow rate of fluids to be mixed (added) to the primary fluid.

What is the use of rotameter?

A rotameter is a device that measures the volumetric flow rate of fluid in a closed tube. It belongs to a class of meters called variable-area flowmeters, which measure flow rate by allowing the cross-sectional area the fluid travels through to vary, causing a measurable effect.

Where rotameter is used in industry?

Generally, safety-shielded glass tube rotameters are used widely in the industry to measure both liquids and gases. They provide flow capacities to about 60 GPM, and are manufactured with end fittings of metal or plastic to meet the chemical characteristics of the fluid being metered.
