About
An
acrylic rotameter is a flow measurement device used to determine the flow rate of liquids and gases. Known for its clarity and reliability, this type of rotameter is widely utilized in various industrial and laboratory applications.
Design and Structure
- Acrylic Tube: Made from durable acrylic material, providing excellent visibility of the fluid flow and the float's position.
- Float: A precisely shaped float that rises and falls within the tapered tube, indicating the flow rate.
- Scale: Calibrated markings along the tube allow for easy reading of flow rates, typically in liters per minute (L/min) or gallons per minute (GPM).
- End Fittings: Standardized inlet and outlet fittings for easy connection to pipes and tubing
Efficient Flow MeasurementThis acrylic rotameter uses variable area technology to provide reliable monitoring of liquid and gas flows. Its engraved scale and rotatable indicator ensure direct, accurate readings, making it an ideal choice for industrial applications demanding precision and clarity.
Customizable & Versatile DesignWith connection options ranging from threaded to flanged and sizes from 14" to 2", the rotameter can be tailored to meet specific system requirements. Custom flow rate capacities and standard lengths (200 mm, 250 mm, 300 mm) allow seamless integration into diverse installations.
Durable and Easy to MaintainConstructed from transparent acrylic and equipped with SS316/PTFE floats, the rotameter offers corrosion resistance and lightweight handling. Its design supports simple cleaning and low maintenance, ensuring longevity and hassle-free use.
FAQ's of Acrylic Rotameter:
Q: How does the acrylic rotameter measure flow rates?
A: The acrylic rotameter utilizes variable area technology, where the flow rate is indicated by the position of a float within a tapered tube. The engraved, rotatable scale provides direct readings, allowing for easy and accurate flow monitoring of liquids or gases.
Q: What applications are suitable for this rotameter?
A: This rotameter is widely used in chemical plants, pharmaceutical industries, and water treatment facilities, where it monitors the flow of various fluids with high precision and reliability.
Q: When should I clean or maintain the rotameter?
A: Regular visual inspection is recommended, but maintenance is minimal due to the rotameter's clear acrylic body and simple construction. Cleaning can be performed as needed to maintain accuracy and clarity of the scale.
Q: Where can the rotameter be installed?
A: Thanks to its supplied panel mounting brackets and optional table mounting, the rotameter can be installed on panels or tables as required by your system setup. Connection sizes and types are customizable to suit your installation needs.
Q: What benefits does the rotameter provide over other flow meters?
A: The acrylic rotameter offers direct, real-time readings, silent operation, lightweight build, corrosion resistance, and hassle-free maintenance, making it a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for flow measurement.
Q: How do I select the right model for my application?
A: Specify your required flow range (from 2.5 LPH to 15,000 LPH), connection type (threaded/flanged), size (14" to 2"), and preferred length. The manufacturer can assist in choosing a model that matches your process parameters and mounting style.
Q: What is the process for installing the rotameter?
A: Installation involves attaching the rotameter to your system using the threaded or flanged end connections and mounting it securely with the provided brackets. The transparent body and permanent markings simplify positioning and reading once installed.
