Low Flow Glass Rotameter: Precise Measurement for Low Gas and Liquid Flow Rates
FLOWTECH Low Flow Glass Tube Variable Area Flow Meters (Rotameters) are designed for general in-line and by-pass metering applications for both gases and liquids. These rotameters operate on the principle of Variable Area. A float moves freely up and down a tapered borosilicate glass tube, following the fluid flow from bottom to top. The float takes a position where buoyancy forces and the float’s weight are in proportion to the flow rate. The vertical position of the float, indicated by the scale, provides an instantaneous flow rate measurement.
Key Features:
- Suitable for low flow rates of gas or liquid measurement.
- Available in different constructions for compatibility with diverse applications.
- Measures flow rates between 10 LPH to 160 LPH of water at ambient temperature and 20 to 5000 NLPH of air at NTP conditions.

The Low Flow Glass Rotameter is a specialized flow meter designed to precisely measure low liquid or gas flow rates in a variety of industrial applications. It has a glass tube structure that provides good visibility and enables for exact flow observation.
The Low Flow Glass Rotameter’s glass tube is meticulously calibrated and graded with a scale, allowing users to view and monitor the flow rate immediately. The flow rate is shown by the location of the float inside the tube in relation to the scale. In low flow rate applications, this visual signal makes it simple to analyze and manage the flow.
Low Flow Glass Rotameters may be used with a variety of fluids, including liquids and gases. To obtain precise and trustworthy readings, it is vital to examine the compatibility of the glass material with the specific fluid being tested.
Yes, when used properly and in accordance with manufacturer directions, Low Flow Glass Rotameters are typically safe to use. To guarantee safe and accurate operation, however, it is critical to consider the specific application as well as the properties of the fluid being measured.
Low Flow Glass Rotameters are widely utilized in different sectors such as pharmaceuticals, research labs, chemical processing, water treatment, and HVAC systems, where precise monitoring of low flow rates is essential.
