The NEW-FLOW N-TYPE Variable Area Flowmeter (Rotameter) provides direct local indication of gas or liquid flow. Process fluid passes through a tapered tube and raises the float until the variable flow area reaches equilibrium. Metal and plastic configurations, multiple flange ratings and a wide choice of flow ranges support chemical-process, water-treatment and general industrial flow applications.
Key Features
- Variable-area measurement using a float and tapered tube
- Configurations for gas and liquid service
- Metal and plastic wetted-part options
- Flanged connections from 10A to 125A
- Optional normally-open alarm switch with one or two set points
