Rotameters

A rotameter is a device that measures the flow rate of liquid or gas in a closed tube. Rotameters are secondary calibration standards, and can be used to obtain accurate and reliable measurements of pump flow rates if they are calibrated to a primary calibration standard on a regular basis. SKC rotameters are lightweight, rugged, portable, and available in different flow ranges to cover a wide range of air sampling applications.
