Rotameter Working Principle and Animation
A rotameter is a device that measures the flow rate of liquid or gas in a closed tube. It is one type of variable area flow meter.
Flow Measurement: Learn about Flow Sensors like Orifice, Venturi, Annubar, Pitot, Magnetic, Turbine, Ultrasonic, Coriolis flow meters, etc.
A rotameter is a device that measures the flow rate of liquid or gas in a closed tube. It is one type of variable area flow meter.
Flow Switch operating principle is based on a free-floating magnetic piston that responds only to the motion of fluids within the pipeline.
A flow transmitter is ranged 0 to 350 GPM, 4-20 mA output, direct-responding. Calculate Flow Transmitter Output 4-20mA Current for 204 GPM.
Impeller Flow Sensor have magnets which actuate Hall effect switches to detect impeller rotation and this is proportional to flow rate.
A Coriolis meter, also known as an inertial flow meter is a device that measures the mass flow rate of a fluid traveling through a tube.
A mag meter or electromagnetic flow meter works on Faraday’s Law of Electro-Magnetic Induction. See this Magnetic Flow Meter Animation.
Electromagnetic Flow Meters, simply known as mag flow meter is a volumetric flow meter which is ideally used for wastewater applications.
The principle of the Vortex Flowmeter is when a bluff body is placed in a pipeline then vortices are generated which is proportional to the flow rate.
The Variable Area Flow meter working Principle is it operates at a constant delta pressure (Δp) and the area changes with the flow rate.
The principle of Paddle Wheel Flow Meters consists of a freely rotating wheel with embedded magnets which is perpendicular to the flow rate.
