Acrylic/ Square Flow Meters

Sahara Industry Offers a wide range of Acrylic/ Square Flow Meters are highly accurate yet simple instruments that require no external power of any sort and fit seamlessly in any pipeline.
Droplet Acrylic Body Tube Variable Area Flow Meters (Rotameters) are intended for general in line metering applications (i.e. for Gas & Liquid) where operating conditions are with the limitations of Acrylic Body metering tubes. These are the principle of Variable Area.
The float moves freely up and down tapered Acrylic body Tube with fluid flow from bottom to top. The float takes up a position where buoyancy forces and the float weight are balanced in proportion to flow rate. The Vertical position of the float as indicated by scale is the measure of the instantaneous flow rate.
Operating Principle:
These Acrylic tube rotameters operates on the variable area principle of fluids.
The float in the tapered tube raises in proportion to the rate of fluid flow and stabilizes when the weight of the float is balanced by the upward hydraulic force.
There is negligible pressure loss through the meter.
