What is Rotameter flow meter with heating jacket ?
A heating medium such as steam, hot water or hot oil can be passed into the jacket to heat the fluids passing the variable area flow meter, or a cooling medium such as cooling water or other cooling fluid can be passed to cool fluids inside the flow sensor, steam jacket flow meter can take measurement of the liquid that easily solidifies and crystallizes at room temperature.
The steam jacket flow meter is a kind of variable area flowmeter. In a vertical cone tube that expands from bottom to top, the gravity of the float of the circular cross section is borne by the hydrodynamic force, and the float can rise freely in the cone tube and drop. It can measure liquid, gas or even vapor; it is a perfect choice for low flow rate fluids measurement. Metal tube rotameter with all-metal design are excellent solutions for measuring flows under tough applications, such as high pressure flow meter, high temperature flow meter or corrosive liquid flow meter. Thermal insulation or tracing heat jacket VA flow meters expand the flow meter applications also.
