Rotary flow meter
Thread Content
Can a rotameter designed for measuring barium chloride at 1200 kg/m3 and a pressure of 0.1 be used to measure water at 1 kg/m3 and a pressure of 0.35? Pressure and density are different
Please become familiar with the measurement principle of rotameters, as well as their factory calibration and in-use calibration.
1 kg/m3 of water is the same as 1000 kg/m3 of water, right? The measured water flow rate appears to be low
This won’t work; the range of a rotameter is determined based on the density of the rotor, the density of the medium being measured, and the flow rate. If it’s changed, it won’t function properly
Can the actual flow rate be calculated using this gauge?
The measurement principle of rotameters and their factory calibration do not permit this
It doesn’t work 100%, don’t ask me why!
