The Metal Tube Rotameter uses the variable area measurement principle. The intelligent metal tube float flowmeter has a local display type and an intelligent remote transmission type, with the transmitter. Metal Tube Rotameter can be used to measure the flow of liquid, gas, and steam. It is especially suitable for medium flow measurement with a low flow rate and small flow.

The metal tube float flowmeter is mainly composed of two parts: the measuring tube and the indicator. The measuring tube includes a conical tube or orifice, guide, stopper, float, and other components. The indicator includes a magnetic follower system, pointer, dial, circuit, and other components.
The measured medium flows through the measuring tube from bottom to top. The upper and lower ends of the float generate differential pressure to form a rising force. When the rising force of the float is greater than the weight of the float immersed in the flowing fluid, the float rises, and the annular gap area increases. Annular gap When the fluid velocity drops rapidly, the differential pressure at the upper and lower ends of the float decreases. The ascending force acting on the float decreases. Until the ascending force balances with the weight of the float immersed in the fluid, the float stabilizes at a certain position. The height of the float is that Corresponds to the size of the measured medium flow.
The float has built-in magnetic steel. When the float moves up and down with the medium, the magnetic field changes with the movement of the float.
a. For the in-situ type, the follow-up magnet in the in-situ indicator is coupled with the magnet in the float. It rotates and drives the pointer at the same time, and the current flow rate is indicated by the dial.
b. For the smart type, the follower magnetic steel in the smart indicator is coupled with the magnetic steel in the float. It rotates and drives the sensing magnetic steel and pointer at the same time. The magnetic field change is converted into an electrical signal through a magnetic sensor. A/D conversion, digital filtering, temperature compensation. Microprocessor processing, D/A output. LCD liquid crystal displays the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow.

Rotameter is a common type of flowmeter. The flowmeter is an industrial instrument for measuring the flow of liquids, gases, and other media. There are many types of flow meters. Such as electromagnetic flowmeter, turbine flowmeter, vortex flowmeter, and so on. Different flow meters have different measurement principles. For example, the electromagnetic flowmeter is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The rotameter is a device that estimates the flow rate by measuring the (position) of the rotating parts installed in the DC pipeline.

The flow detection element of the float flowmeter is composed of a vertical tapered tube that expands from bottom to top and a float group that moves up and down along the axis of the tapered tube. Below, I will give you a specific introduction to the classification of rotameters.
Glass rotameter:
Glass rotor flowmeters are mainly used in various departments such as the chemical industry, petroleum, light industry, medicine, fertilizer, chemical fiber, food, dyes, environmental protection, and scientific research. Used to measure the flow of single-phase non-pulsating (liquid or gas) fluids. The anti-corrosion glass rotor flowmeter is mainly used for the detection of corrosive liquid and gas medium flow. Such as strong acid, strong acid, oxidant, strong oxidizing acid, organic solvent, and other corrosive gas or liquid medium flow detection.

Plastic tube rotameter:
The main parts such as the liquid plastic tube rotameter cone tube are made of AS, ABS plastic. Has relatively good corrosion resistance. The product also has the characteristics of reasonable structure, small size, lightweight, and the tapered tube is not easily broken. The plastic tube rotor flowmeter can be widely used in chemical, environmental protection, food, and other industrial sectors.
Plexiglass rotameter:
Plexiglass rotameter is divided into panel type plexiglass rotameter and pipeline type plexiglass rotameter.
Plexiglass rotameter also has the characteristics of high transparency, intuitive reading, not easy to break, lightweight, long life, and convenient installation and connection. However, the tapered glass tube of plexiglass cannot be used for organic solvents (such as trichloroethylene, dichloroethane).
Metal tube rotameter:
Metal tube rotameter is divided into on-site pointer indication type and remote transmission type.
Metal float flowmeter is a kind of flow measuring instrument commonly used in industrial automation process control. It has the characteristics of small pressure loss, large detection range (range ratio 10:1), and convenient use. It can be used to measure the flow of liquid, gas, and steam. It is especially suitable for medium flow measurement with low flow velocity and small flow.

Digital Rotameter
Digital rotameters are easier to read than analog rotameters as well as pointer-displayed rotameters.
Digital rotameters is a smart transmitter added to the original rotameters.
The metal shell has a built-in intelligent circuit board. Intrinsically safe explosion-proof structure design, explosion-proof mark iallCT5.
The indicator has both a separate mechanical pointer for instantaneous flow. There are also five liquid crystal digital display instantaneous flow and eight digital display cumulative flow. And equipped with button operation, human-computer interaction interface. It can also output 4-20MA current signal, upper and lower limit alarm and other signals.
Digital rotameters also have a variety of parameter calibration, setting functions, data backup, data recovery and power failure protection. In addition, when it is not a two-wire power supply mode, the LCD backlight display function is also selected.
