Measurement of flow using a Rotameter

Procedure

Configuration:-

  • select pipe size , fluid type and float material according to fluid type check/click the configuration button
  • click on next level

Basic Knowledge -

  • Answer all the questions and click on next level

Simulation

  • Open the SV valve (solenoid valve).
  • Switch on the pump and change the flow with the help of variable frequency drive VFD
  • Allow the unit to come to a steady state as indicated by constant position of the float in Rotameter
  • After steady state is reached record the flow rate indicated on the scale of the Rotameter
  • Take the reading and find the length of water in side glass for different flow rates
  • Calculate the flow of rotameter and submit the answer
  • Repeat the above for at least six-seven runs starting from the minimum flow rate and going to a maximum value

Calibration

  • Calculate zero error and submit answer
  • Calculate span error and submit answer
  • Adjust the zero error by clicking plus and minus buttons
  • Follow above process to adjust span error

Fault Finding:

  1. Observe the shown table and select the fault accordingly
  2. After selecting the correct fault Result will be displayed
