What are Metal Tube Rotameters?
Metal Tube Rotameters, also known as variable area flow meters, are precision instruments designed to measure the flow rate of liquids and gases. Their operation is based on the position of a float within a tapered metal tube. The flow pushes the float to an equilibrium position, which corresponds to the flow rate and can be read from the associated transparent scale.
These rotameters are renowned for their simplicity, durability and ability to operate without complex electronics or power supplies. With robust metal construction, they perform reliably even in harsh environments, handling high pressures, temperatures and corrosive or abrasive fluids.

Which Metal Tube Rotameter is Right for You?
Standard
Jacket
FEP Liner
Standard Metal Tube Rotameter
The Standard Type Metal Tube Rotameter is the go-to solution for general-purpose flow measurement. It is designed for accurate and reliable performance in a wide range of industrial applications, from water treatment to gas distribution. The standard type features a robust all-metal construction, ensuring durability and resistance to environmental stress. Its compact design makes it suitable for installations with limited space.
Key Features
Suitable for liquid and gas measurements.
High accuracy (±1.5% for liquids and ±2.5% for gases).
Available in vertical and horizontal mounting options.
Wide measuring range with a turn-down ratio of 10:1 (special 20:1 options available).
Jacket Metal Tube Rotameter
The Jacket Type Metal Tube Rotameter is designed for specialised applications requiring precise temperature control of the fluid being measured. It features an insulation jacket that allows for heating or cooling of the medium as it flows through the meter. This type is ideal for processes involving temperature-sensitive fluids, such as chemicals and food-grade liquids.
Key Features
Insulated jacket for temperature control of the fluid.
Handles medium temperatures up to 300°C (mechanical display).
Highly versatile for use in industries like chemical processing and food and beverage production.
Durable and resistant to thermal stress.
FEP Liner Metal Tube Rotameter
The FEP Liner Type Metal Tube Rotameter is tailored for handling highly corrosive or aggressive chemicals. Its inner surface is lined with FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene), offering excellent resistance to corrosive substances and abrasive materials. This type is widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical industries where durability and chemical compatibility are critical.
Key Features
FEP lining for superior corrosion resistance.
Ideal for measuring aggressive chemicals and abrasive fluids.
Retains high accuracy even with challenging media.
Wetted parts available in corrosion-resistant materials like Hastelloy C and Titanium.
