A metal tube float flowmeter is an instrument used to measure the flow of fluids, and it usually consists of a metal tube and a float. Here are some basic information about metal tube float flowmeters:
Working Principle: Metal Pipe: The fluid passes through a metal pipe, and the diameter and shape of the pipe will affect the flow rate and flow.
Float: Inside the metal tube there is a float that floats up and down as the fluid flows. The position of the float is directly proportional to the flow rate of the fluid.
Feature: Simple Structure: The structure of the metal tube float flowmeter is relatively simple, easy to install and maintain.
Visualization: The float floats up and down through the transparent tube wall, allowing for intuitive flow monitoring.
Suitability: Suitable for flow measurement of liquids and gases.
Advantages: Low cost: Compared to other flow meters, metal tube float flow meters have a relatively low manufacturing cost.
Wide range of applications: It can be used to measure the flow rate of various types of liquids and gases.
Disadvantages: Lower accuracy: Compared to some high-precision flowmeters, metal tube float flowmeters may have lower accuracy.
Pressure loss: When measuring high flow rates, a certain amount of pressure loss can occur due to the design of the pipe.
Applications: General industrial use: Used for flow measurement of general industrial fluids.
Water treatment: Used to monitor and control the flow rate in the water treatment process.
Chemical: In chemical processes, it is used to measure the flow rate of various liquids and gases.
Please note that specific application and performance characteristics may vary by manufacturer and model. When choosing a flow meter, it is best to choose the appropriate type and specification based on the specific application needs and fluid properties.
