SRS’s Variable Area Flow Meter, often referred to as “rotameters,” measure flow rate of a liquid or gas by relating linear displacement of an internal “float” or sharp-edged orifice tube to a corresponding flow rate.  As the flow rate increases, the orifice area that the flow moves through also increases – thus, the term “Variable Area”.  Variable Area meters either allow flow through a peripheral orifice formed between a tapered wall and a float as in the traditional rotameter, or an annular orifice and an internal tapered metering pin in the Device Head.  The attributes of the Variable Area flow meter are a linear relationship between flow rate, pressure differential and piston displacement.  Flow rate is read on the Variable Area meters in both Analog or Digital Display by aligning the position of the piston/float to an adjacent calibrated scale.

The Advantages of the Variable Area Flow Meter
  • Relative low cost and ease of installation
  • Robust and easy to maintain
  • No need for auxiliary power
  • Works with both liquids and gases

Description

 Variable Area Flow Meter for liquids and gases

  • Modular design: from mechanical indicator to 4…20 mA / HART®, and Totalizer
  • Any installation position:  Vertical, horizontal or in fall pipes
  • Flange: DN15…150 / 12…6″; also NPT, G, hygienic connections, etc.
  • -196…+400°C / -320…+752°F; max. 1500 psig

 

The SRS Direct Roto-Gear is the standard variable area (VA) flowmeter for the process and OEM industry.  additionally, the VA meter combines mechanical flow measurement of liquids or gases with state-of-the-art communication capabilities.  The device is modularly extendable.  Additionally, electronic modules can be added or replaced at any time without process interruption.  In this way, its functionality adapts to new requirements – from analog flow measurement without auxiliary power to digital integration into a fieldbus system.

In addition, the variable areas flow meter is available in various materials and in many different versions.  Moreover, the sturdy all-metal flowmeter can be also used in applications with high pressures (up to  1500 psig), temperatures (-196…+400°C / -320…+752°F) or aggressive media.  Also, it even allows installation in horizontal or fall pipes up to DN150 / 6″.   After that, a special version for use in hygienic applications is also available.  Finally,  the Variable Area Flow Meter is intrinsically safe and explosion-proof.
