Theory shows us that, for variable area rotameters, the mass flow
rate is approximately proportional to the square root of the metered
fluid mass density according to
w= cRsr@;o's (1)
w= C5 2 p O . s (2)

wz=*, (f) (3)
w = p v =p*v*=(-?)**u* (4 )
where V = volumetric flow rate, * = STP conditions, W = molecular
weight, P - pressure,and R - gas constant. SubstitutingEquation 4
into Equation 3, we get
