Lake Monitors B3A-6HB-01-RF Variable Area Flow Monitor

Lake Monitors variable area flow meters are accurate, dependable flow monitors configurable for numerous applications. These meters use a variable annular orifice with compression spring recoil allowing unrestricted mounting for vertical, horizontal or inverted installation. A rugged, reliable construction is used so these Lake Monitors variable area flow meters can withstand outdoor / exposed applications and frequent maintenance wash-downs.The Lake Monitors high-temperature flow meters enable flow monitoring of barrel heating fluids, thermal transfer fluids such as Syltherm? coolant flows through heat exchangers, as well as flows through hydraulic circuits and sub-circuits with elevated temps. There are two maximum temperature ratings available, 400?F (204?C) or 600?F (315?C), depending on your monitoring needs.

Lake Monitors

Variable Area flow meters, often referred to as “rotameters,” measure flow rate of a liquid or gas by relating linear displacement of an internal “float” or sharp-edged orifice plate (Lake) to a corresponding flow rate. As flow rate increases, the orifice area that the flow moves through also increases – thus, the term “Variable Area.” Variable Area meters either allow flow through a peripheral orifice formed between a tapered wall and a float as in the traditional rotameter, or an annular orifice and an internal tapered metering pin in the Lake Monitor. The attributes of the Variable Area flow meter are a linear relationship between flow rate, pressure differential and piston displacement. Flow rate is read on Variable Area meters by aligning the position of the piston/float to an adjacent calibrated scale.
