Rotameter: Principles, Structure, Advantages, Disadvantages and Industrial Selection
A rotameter is a variable-area flow meter that works on throttling principles. It basically has a vertical tapered tube with
Sino-Inst has designed and manufactured flow meters for many years, and we specify flow measurement for customers across most process industries. Before choosing a meter, pin down the details that actually decide it: the medium, the pipe size and the piping around it, the flow range, temperature and pressure, how and where it mounts, the output signal, the accuracy you need, and your budget.
These guides cover the main flow meter types: how each technology works, where it suits the job, and where its limits are. They run across electromagnetic, ultrasonic, vortex, turbine, Coriolis mass, thermal gas mass and differential pressure meters. Read alongside our product specifications, they should get you to the right meter.
Or simply tell our sales engineers what you need to measure, and we will put a flow measurement solution together for you.
