1. Introduction to Acrylic Tube Rotameter MT-S110RT

The Acrylic Tube Rotameter MT-S110RT is one of the most economical and practical flow measurement solutions used in various industrial applications. Designed for measuring the flow of non-corrosive gases and liquids, this rotameter is widely recognized for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, visibility, and ease of installation. The instrument operates based on the variable area principle, where the fluid flow lifts a float inside a tapered acrylic tube, allowing the flow rate to be read directly from the scale.

As industries continue to seek dependable and efficient flow monitoring technologies, the popularity of Acrylic Tube Rotameters remains strong due to their rugged construction, minimal maintenance requirements, and wide measurement range (10:1 rangeability). The MT-S110RT model is engineered specifically for general process environments where reliability and affordability are essential.

2. Main Features of Acrylic Tube Rotameter MT-S110RT

  • Easy to Use: The rotameter is designed for straightforward installation and reading, requiring no external power source.

  • Optional Flow Control Valve: For processes where flow rate adjustment is needed, a control valve can be integrated.

  • Suitable for Liquid and Gas Flow Measurement: Its versatility makes it ideal for chemical plants, laboratories, water treatment, and air handling applications.

  • Cost-Effective Flow Meter: It is considered one of the most economical instruments for accurate flow measurement.

  • Clear and Direct Scale Reading: The transparent acrylic tube provides excellent visibility, allowing users to read the flow measurement easily.

  • Simple to Maintain and Replace: Spare parts are inexpensive and maintenance does not require specialized tools or training.

  • Wide 10:1 Rangeability: The float moves smoothly inside the tapered tube, providing reliable measurement across a wide flow range.

3. Working Principle of MT-S110RT (Variable Area Principle)

The Acrylic Tube Rotameter MT-S110RT works based on the variable area principle. Inside its tapered acrylic tube, there is a floating element (float). As fluid flows upward through the tube:

  1. The fluid pushes the float upward.

  2. The float rises until the upward fluid force equals the weight of the float.

  3. The vertical position of the float corresponds directly to the flow rate.

  4. This position can be read easily against the graduated scale on the acrylic tube.

When the flow increases, the float rises, creating a larger passage area. When the flow decreases, the float falls, reducing the area. This direct relationship allows simple and reliable visual flow measurement.

4. Standard Design and Material Construction

The MT-S110RT is built with high-quality materials suitable for industrial environments:

Component Material Notes
Tube Polycarbonate (PC) Provides transparency and durability
Connections SS / Brass / PVC Selection depends on medium and chemical compatibility
Float Stainless Steel or Glass Depends on medium density and flow range
Gasket NBR Ensures leak-free sealing
O-Ring Silicone (optional) Enhances long-term sealing performance

5. Standard Parameters
