Rotameter is variable area flowmeter 25used to measure fluid

flow. It works on the principle of upthrust force exerted by fluid

and force of gravity. The buoyant force exerted on an immersed
object is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the object.
Under this principle, the rotameter works with float-tapered tube
system.

It is one of the most commonly used rotameter in the world.

Construction:

A rotameter is made up of a tapered tube and a float inside it.

The glass tapered tube has a scale on the surface or a scale is
placed adjacent to it, according to purpose.

Tapered tube:

The tapered tube is placed vertically in the flow channel with a

conical shape inside. The quantity
