What is 6 inch variable area flowmeter ?
6 inch variable area flowmeter refer to the variable area flow meter with diameter 6” or DN150, the flange could be ANSI, 150LB, 300LB; JIS10K ,etc. We often call this type flow meter 6 inch rotameter. 6 inch variable area flowmeter is large size VA flow meters.
What is a variable area flow meter?
The working principle of the variable area flow meter is in a vertical cone tube that expands from bottom to top. The gravity of the float with a circular cross section is borne by the hydrodynamic force, and the float can be in the cone. The tube rises and falls freely. It moves up and down under the action of flow velocity and buoyancy, and after balancing with the weight of the float, it is transmitted to the dial to indicate the flow rate through a magnetic coupling. The rotameter is a kind of variable area flowmeter, 6 inch variable area flow meter also apply for that principle.
What does the variable flow measure?
Variable area flow meter is a very cost-effective flowmeter with a wide range of applications. It can be used for the measurement of liquids and gases including vapor in the process industry.
It can be used in many critical applications, such as high temperature oil, mineral Oil; it is also very good at low flow rate liquid or gas measurement. 6” rotameter can take volumetric flow rate measurement of air, compressed air, natural gas, RO water, vegetable oil.etc.
