In genere il tubo è costruito con una geometria tale che l’area della sezione del
tubo varia linearmente con la posizione h del galleggiante. Allora la portata può

CARATTERISTICHE COSTRUTTIVE
CARATTERISTICHE COSTRUTTIVE
La portata dipende dalla densità e viscosità del fluido, ma sagomando
opportunamente la forma del galleggiante si può minimizzare tale
dipendenza rendendo lo strumento insensibile alle variazioni di viscosità del
fluido.

ESEMPIO DI ROTAMETRI
ABB Instrumentation
VA Master line – versatile and well-proven
The use of variable area flowmeters in industrial process measurement has been established
for more than 70 years. Their measuring principle is both technically mature and cost-effective.
They feature an amazing design variety and high reproducibility and do not require an external
power supply for measured value indication on site. As a result, they are the appropriate
solution for almost all applications involving the measurement of liquids, gases or steam.
