Rotameter calibration is sometimes an overlooked issue and although a rotameter has limited moving parts, they do perform a critical role for flow measurement accuracy and should be scheduled for periodic cleaning and re-calibration.
There are many types of rotometer on the market, and although they may differ in size, material construction and appearance, they all do basically the same job.
Ensuring a rotameter is scheduled on a periodic re-calibration and cleaning requirement will ensure maintenance of best performance of 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 measurements accurate and save time and money in maintenance.
The Calibration Trade Centre's laboratory has calibrated rotameters from various manufacturers, on water, fuels, oils, air and gases.
Offering traceable calibrations, quick turnaround and cost effectiveness, CTC says it provides its clients with complete rotameter calibration and servicing.
Ukas accredited calibrations can also be arranged through its partner companies operating to the ISO 17025 calibration standard.
