Series VF Visi-Float® Acrylic Flowmeter

Series VF Visi-Float® Acrylic Flowmeter

Series RM Rate-Master® Polycarbonate Flowmeter

2", 5" or 10" Scale, Interchangeable Bodies*
Be the first to review this product

The Series RM Rate-Master® Flowmeters are a line of general use, direct reading precision flowmeters suitable for both gas and liquid applications. This Series consists of 2" (51 mm), 5" (127 mm) and 10" (254 mm) scales that can be panel or surface mounted with optional precision metering valves. Within a given Series, the Rate-Master® flowmeter bodies can be instantly interchanged, allowing the piping to remain undisturbed, interchangeability of the ranges, and easy cleaning. *The Rate-Master® flowmeter bodies can be instantly interchanged within the same series scale size, allowing the piping to remain undisturbed, interchangeability of the ranges, and easy cleaning.

NOTE: Effective immediately, the brass valve (-BV) option has been discontinued and the stainless steel valve (-SSV) is the suggested replacement.

NIST CALIBRATION available in Product Configurator.

Features

  • Eliminate the need for troublesome conversions with direct reading scales
  • Reduce installation damage and cost due to stainless steel backbone that absorbs piping torque
  • Long operation life with durable, shatter-proof polycarbonate body
  • High repeatability enabled by precision injection molding around a precision tapered pin
  • Increased reading accuracy with special integral flow guides that stabilize float movement
  • Save time with instantaneous flow reading from scale graduations on both sides of the indicating tube

Options

  • Top Mounted Metering Valves - Same precision construction for vacuum applications RMA models only.
  • Adjustable Pointer Flags - Red lined pointer flags provide quick visual reference to a required flow level. Of clear plastic, they snap into place inside bezel and slide to desired level.
  • Specials - Special ranges, scales, mounting arrangements, etc., are available on special order, or in OEM quantities.

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
I am looking to use an "Air" flowmeter RMA-6-SSV to monitor CO2 flow. I am wondering if there are are any concerns or correction factors I need to apply.
Answer
A specific gravity correction factor will need to be considered when monitoring other gases with a meter calibrated for air. The correction factor equation is as follows: Q2=Q1 x sqrt (1/S.G.) Where: Q1= Observed Flowmeter reading Q2= Standard Flow Corrected for Specific Gravity 1= Specific Gravity of Air or Water S.G.= Specific Gravity of media being used in flowmeter originally calibrated for air or water.
This equation can be found in the beginning of the Flow section in the catalog. Alternatively, special ranges and scales can be provided; for specific information please contact our technical service department.

Question
Instruction Sheet specs on RM series flowmeters list 100 PSI max pressure, but have seen several RMC flowmeter labels with 35 PSI max pressure rating. Some clarification on pressure ratings please? Thank you.
Answer
The older version of the RMC used to have a pressure limit of 35psi because the back plate was assembled from 2 separate pieces. The pressure rating increased to 100psi when we began to stamp the back plate from 1 solid piece.

Question
For the VFA-44-BV product, what is the minimum flow that I can reliably control with a pressure head of up to 4 bar? Will the needle valve function properly at that pressure/flow combination? Thank you.
Answer
At a pressure of 4 bar (58 psi), the needle valve should function properly and provide reliable control over the whole range, which is 8-40 gallons of water per hour.

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
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
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)
