SHIELDED FOR PRESSURIZED SYSTEMS
These rotameters, have heavy
wall, precision-bored borosilicate
glass metering tubes and are fully
shielded against breakage, with end
fittings of brass or stainless steel
and aluminum side plates. In front,
a clear plastic shield keeps the
scale clean and easy-to-read,
while an opaque white rear shield
provides a background to aid in
discerning the float position for
accurate readings.
PANEL MOUNTING DESIGN
These rotameters are equipped
with horizontal ports with NPT
threads for easy panel mounting.
The ports have external threads
and are equipped with panel
retaining nuts. No additional
mounting hardware is required.
Simply drill two holes 114.3mm
(4.5") apart (center to center) for
65mm units or 223.8mm (8 13/16")
apart (center to center) for
150mm units. Each hole should
be 14.9mm (0.59") in diameter.
NON-RISING STEM NEEDLE VALVE
The 150 mm size flowmeters are
also available with non-rising stem
type needle valves for special applications. This 15-turn metering
valve has superior flow rate
control and is particularly well
suited for use in chromatography
applications. The sliding tapered
needle mechanism virtually
eliminates sticking or buildup due
to foreign matter in the fluid stream,
without variations or sawtoothing
of the flow rate.
COMPACT 65 MM SCALE
These compact units feature ±10%
of full scale accuracy and ±½% of
full scale repeatability. They are
ideal for applications involving
purging, seal oil systems, bearing
lubrication, and cooling water flow
indication.
EASY-TO-READ 150 MM SCALE
OMEGA's larger units feature 5%
accuracy and ¼% repeatability.
The scale has more divisions for
higher accuracy, is easier to read,
and causes less eye fatigue.
APPLICATIONS
Variable area rotameters can be
used in many applications,
including industrial and laboratory
situations. Some common uses
include carrier gas flow and fuel
flow in chromatography and coolant
flow indication.
FLOW CONTROL
Control the flow rate with the
standard built-in control valve.
Also available, as an option, is an
integral flow controller. In addition,
150 mm scale units are available
with the unique non-rising stem
type needle valve.
WETTED PARTS
Standard floats are 316 stainless
steel, glass, and carboloy. Other wetted parts
include the glass mtering tube,
PTFE float stops, brass, aluminum, or
316 SS end fittings, and Buna
(with brass or aluminum construction) or FKM-A
(with 316 SS construction) O-rings.
RATINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The maximum operating
pressure is 13.8 bar (200 psig),
at temperatures up to 121°C
(250°F). The minimum flow rate at
the rated accuracy is 10% of the
maximum flow rate. All connections
are 1/8" female NPT threaded.
