A rotameter is a device that measures the flow rate of a liquid or gas in a tube. Karl Kueppers invented the rotameter in 1908, which has been widely used since then for a variety of applications. Rotameters are included in a class of devices known as “variable area meters” that depend on the substance they are measuring to change the area of the test field being measured. How Rotameters Work Rotameters consist of a tube, generally made of glass, and an object known as a “float.” The float is Read More
