Rotameter
Rotameter is a flow measuring instrument used to measure the flow rate of a liquid or a gas. Characteristics of rotameter include its simple construction, thus providing a low cost. It is easy to take readings because the rotameter contains a linear scale with most meters. Accuracy, which is within ±2% of the total reading, allows a little room for errors in the readings. Lastly, the rotameter is an easy-to-install instrument. Rotameters are also called gravity flow meters, mechanical flow meters or variable area flow meters.
