Variable Area Flowmeters

 

Variable area (V/A) meters are suitable for most clean fluids of low to medium viscosity. They are a simple mechanical device where the flow of liquid or gas pushes a sliding orifice over a precision cone. The orifice pushes against a calibrated spring and is magnetically linked to a pointer which moves over a graduated scale.

Variable area meters are available in aluminium for oil duty, brass for water duty and stainless steel for chemical duty. Flow rates from 0.1 up to 560 L/min are catered for and a high pressure rating (240 bar for aluminium and brass, 414 bar for stainless steel) and temperature rating (116°C) ensure that these low cost meters are a popular choice for many engineers.
