Rotameter (flowmeter) - Plastic

Mounting position of flow meters from our offer: vertical (vertical). The flow meters are only functional in the vertical position.

Plastic flow meters (rotameters) are characterized by their low weight and easy handling. They are resistant to corrosion, unbreakable, have a harmless chemical composition, do not affect the taste of the measured medium.

Properties:

• Material plastic: ABS, transparent part ASA
• Gasket: EPDM
• Temperature: 0 ° C to 40 ° C (for a short time 60 ° C depending on the materials used)
• Max. pressure: 0.6 MPa
• Medium: liquid (water, weak base, weak acid)
• Connection: threaded, glued joint
• Measurement accuracy: see individual rotameters (± 5%, ± 4%)
• Flow: see individual products
• Dimensions: see product annexes

Areas of application:

In the chemical industry, light industry, pharmacy, food industry, applications in environmental protection, etc.

 

Chemical resistance ABS / ASA:

• ABS polymers are resistant to aqueous acids, alkalis, concentrated hydrochloric and phosphoric acid, alcohols, animal, vegetable and mineral oils, low ozone concentration in pool water.
• Swells in glacial acetic acid, carbon tetrachloride and aromatic hydrocarbons.
• They degrade in concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids. They are soluble in esters, ketones, ethylene dichloride and acetone. 

Suitable applications for EPDM (O-ring seal):

• For hot water and steam (permanently 180 ° C, briefly 210 ° C)
• For acids (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid)
• For alkaline solutions (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide)
• For ozone (40 ° C, 0.001% ie 1,000 pphm)
• CIP / SIP systems for continuous operation in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries
