Questions
- Question
- How are Dwyer flowmeters properly read?
- Answer
- The flow rate is read at the maximum width portion of the float regardless of shape.
- Question
- What factor is used to correct for different flowmeter inlet pressure?
- Answer
- If the flowmeter is exhausting to atmosphere, no correction factor is needed. If back-pressure is present due to downstream plumbing or restrictions, this error can be corrected utilizing the conversion curves in our full-line catalog or the following equation.
Pressure: Q2 = Q1 x √((P1 x T2)/(P2 x T1))
Where:
Q1 = Observed Flowmeter Reading
Q2 = Standard Flow Corrected for Specific Gravity
P1 = Actual Pressure (14.7 psia + Gage Pressure)
P2 = Standard Pressure (14.7 psia, which is 0 psig)
T1 = Actual Temperature (460 R + Temp °F)
T2 = Standard Temperature (530 R, which is 70°F)
- Question
- Why are top mounted valves recommended for flowmeters used for vacuum service?
- Answer
- To maintain atmospheric pressure in the indicating bore and therefore preserve accuracy; an inlet restriction would reduce pressure in the bore. This is essentially the opposite situation to outlet back-pressure in a pressure system which increases pressure in the bore and also affects accuracy. Remember that all standard Dwyer flowmeters are calibrated for standard atmospheric pressure and temperature in the bore.
- Question
- Is the Rate-Master® or Visi-Float® Flowmeter compatible with any media?
- Answer
- The Rate-Master® Flowmeter is manufactured from a polycarbonate plastic and the Visi-Float® Flowmeter is manufactured from acrylic. Compatibility charts need to be reviewed to determine if these materials of construction are compatible with your media.
- Question
- Are special ranges available for the Rate-Master® and/or Visi-Float® Flowmeter?
- Answer
- Yes, other ranges are available which are not specified in our catalog. Please feel free to contact Dwyer with questions on these ranges.
