Ensuring your rotameter is scheduled on a periodic re-calibration, and often cleaning requirement, will ensure you maintain the best performance of your flow measurement equipment.
Rotameters are basicaly a gauge that consists of a graduated tube containing a float that moves up and down as the flow rate changes.
They are a meter that many laboratories and manufacturers use for the measurement of water flow or air flow.
During service use, the rotameter will often accumulate foreign material on the float and/or on the tube, and will eventually cause inaccuracy within the meter.
In many cases, a yearly rotometer calibration will keep your measurements accurate and save you time and money in maintenance.
