Description
A plastic rotor flowmeter is an instrument that measures flow using the buoyancy balance of a rotor in a fluid flow. Its structure is similar to that of a metal rotor flowmeter, but it is made primarily of plastic materials to facilitate handling of fluids in specific applications. Here are the details about the plastic rotor flowmeter:
Structure and working principle
1. Structure:
- **Plastic pipe**: The main component of the flowmeter is a transparent plastic tube, so that the status of the rotor can be clearly observed.
- **Rotor**: A plastic rotor located inside a plastic tube, usually conical or cylindrical. The material and shape of the rotor enable it to float in the fluid.
- **Scale**: There is usually a scale inside the pipe to help read the height of the rotor and determine the flow rate.
- **Seal**: Used to prevent fluid leakage and ensure the accuracy of the measurement.
2. Working principle:
- **Fluid flow**: When the fluid passes through the plastic pipe, the flow of the fluid pushes the rotor. The rising position of the rotor in the pipe is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid.
- **Buoyancy balance**: The buoyancy of the rotor is related to the flow rate of the fluid. As the flow increases, the rotor moves up; as the flow decreases, the rotor moves down.
- **Reading**: The flow value can be read directly by observing the position of the rotor on the scale. Modern flow meters may also be equipped with sensors and electronic displays to provide more accurate readings.
Advantages
- Low cost: Plastic rotor flowmeters are cheaper to manufacture than metal rotor flowmeters, so they can be used in situations where the economic budget is tight.
- Corrosion resistance: Plastic materials have good resistance to many chemicals and corrosive fluids, which makes them suitable for some special applications.
- Lightweight: Plastic rotor flowmeters are generally light and easy to install and maintain.
- Transparent pipe: Transparent plastic pipe allows direct observation of the status of the rotor, which helps to monitor and inspect visually.
Limitations
- Limited temperature resistance: Plastics are generally not as resistant to high temperatures as metals, so they are suitable for applications with lower temperature requirements.
- Limited pressure resistance: Plastic rotor flowmeters are generally not suitable for high pressure environments because plastic pipes have limited pressure resistance.
- Mechanical strength: Plastic materials have low mechanical strength and may be affected by high flow rates or high fluid impact.
Application fields
Plastic rotor flowmeters are suitable for the following fields:
- Laboratory: used to measure the flow of liquid or gas in the laboratory.
- Chemical industry: suitable for flow monitoring of certain chemicals, especially less corrosive chemicals.
- Water treatment: used for flow measurement and control in water treatment processes.
- Food and beverage: suitable for processing fluids in food and beverages, especially under low temperature and low pressure conditions.
In short, plastic rotor flowmeters provide an effective flow measurement solution in many fields with their economy, corrosion resistance and applicability.
BTMF series micro metal tube float flowmeter is a variable area flow meter based on float position measurement. The new design makes it possible to measure tiny flows. Especially suitable for measuring small flow rates of liquids and gases. It adopts an all-metal structure, has small size, low pressure loss, and large range ratio (10:1). It is widely used in various industries for flow measurement and processes in complex and harsh environments, such as small flow rates, low flow rates, and various harsh medium conditions. Control, especially suitable for measuring turbid, opaque or corrosive fluids.
The Turbine Flow Meter is a type of Impeller Flowmeter used for the precise measurement of low-viscosity fluids such as tap and demineralised water, light fuel oil, liquefied gases, ethanol gasoline, Pharmaceutical fluids, non-corrosive chemicale solvents etc.
Turbine Flow Meter measure volumetric flow and flow quantities, where flow passing through the tube is measured by the average velocity of the streaming fluid. The sensor of Turbine reacts to the average velocity of fluid with multi-blades rotor so as to speculating the instantaneous and the accumulative flow.
