Small Glass Tube Rotameter

The flow rate of a fluid, often a gas or liquid, is measured and indicated using a small glass tube rotameter, a type of flow measurement device. It is frequently employed in situations when a small, aesthetically pleasing flowmeter is required.

The essential features of a tiny glass tube rotameter are as follows:

1. Glass Tube: The glass tube is usually translucent or transparent, making it simple to see the float and the fluid flow visually. It helps to provide a linear scale for flow rate indicating since the tube is frequently tapered or conical in shape.

2. The float is a buoyant object that moves vertically with the fluid flow inside the glass tube. The float is made to have a particular density in order to achieve buoyancy and maintain stability at various flow rates. The flow rate of the fluid is shown by the location of the float inside the glass tube.

3. Scale: A scale is inscribed on the glass tube next to the float, enabling accurate flow rate measurement. Depending on the particular use, the scale is often calibrated in measures like litres per minute (LPM) or cubic feet per hour (CFH).
