Working Principle The flowmeter consists of a float inside a conical tube. The rising flow pushes the float to an equilibrium point. The area obtained between the float and the orifice is proportional to the flow rate. This type of measuring principle is known as variable Reading area.

RECEPTION The flowmeter is supplied ready for installation and service. The blocking elements that hold the float for transport should be removed before installation. Turning the instrument up side down, check that the float moves freely in the tube. INSTALLATION The instrument must be installed taking into account the following: The fluid inlet will be in the bottom of the flowmeter (the one nearest the scale’s minimum value).
