Introduction of glass tube rotameter

Project Overview

1. Working Principle The working principle of the glass tube rotameter is based on the float lifting principle. When fluid flows in a pipe, the buoyancy force acting on the float changes with the flow rate. When the flow rate increases, the buoyancy force on the float increases and the float rises; conversely, when the flow rate decreases, the buoyancy force on the float decreases and the float falls. By reading the rising or falling position of the float in the glass tube, the flow rate of the fluid can be directly observed.

2. Structural Characteristics Glass tube rotameter is mainly composed of glass tube, float, tapered tube, connecting flange and other parts. Among them, the glass tube, as the main part of the flow meter, is made of transparent glass to facilitate observing the position of the float; the float is usually made of stainless steel or plastic and has good corrosion resistance; the tapered tube is used to ensure that the fluid flows in the flow meter stable flow; the connecting flange is used to connect the flow meter to the piping system. Glass tube rotameter has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient installation and intuitive reading.At the same time, because it is made of transparent glass, it is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurement.

3. Precautions for use

1. During installation, ensure that the connection between the flow meter and the pipeline system is tight to avoid leakage.

2. During use, the integrity of the float, glass tube and other components should be checked regularly. If damage or wear is found, they should be replaced in time.

3. Avoid strong impact or vibration on the flow meter to avoid affecting the measurement accuracy and service life. 4. The flow meter should be installed in a location that is easy to observe and maintain, so that problems can be discovered and dealt with in time. 5. Before use, the flow meter should be calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

4. Application fields Glass tube rotor flow meters are widely used in fluid measurement in petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, electric power, environmental protection and other fields. For example, in the petrochemical industry, glass tube rotor flowmeters can be used to measure the flow of fluids such as crude oil, refined oil, and liquefied petroleum gas; in the field of environmental protection, they can be used to monitor water flow in wastewater treatment processes.

Due to its advantages of intuitive reading and low price, glass tube rotameter has been widely welcomed and used in various fields. In short, as an important fluid measurement instrument, the glass tube rotameter has broad application prospects in the industrial field. With the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, it is believed that glass tube rotameter will show better performance and wider application value in future development.
