Types of variable area flow meters

 

 

Variable area flow meters can be mainly divided into the following types:

 

Float variable area flow meter: also known as float flowmeter or rotor flowmeter. It adjusts the up and down position of the float (or float) according to the liquid flow rate, and determines the flow
value through the position of the float. This type of flow meter is particularly suitable for measuring small and micro flow rates, and is widely used in laboratories, construction, water treatment
and other fields. The float flowmeter has the characteristics of simple structure and easy use, but it may have risks such as low pressure resistance and fragile glass tube.

 

Differential pressure variable area flow meter: This type of flow meter measures based on the principle of differential pressure. It has two pressure-conducting pipes connected at both ends of the
same pipe, and the flow value is determined by measuring the pressure difference at both ends of the pipe. Differential pressure flow meters are particularly suitable for measuring gas flow, and
have a wide range of applications. They can be used to measure various fluids and working conditions, as well as different pipe diameters and flow conditions.

In addition to the two main types of variable area flow meters mentioned above, there are a few other types, but they may not be as common as these two. Each flow meter has its specific
application scenarios, advantages and disadvantages, and selection should be considered based on specific measurement needs and environmental conditions.
