Introduction to Pitambara Engineering Panel Mounting Acrylic Body Rotameter
Pitambara Engineering offers the Panel Mounting Acrylic Body Rotameter, a precision flow measurement device designed for accurate and reliable measurement of fluid flow in various industrial applications. The Panel Mounting Acrylic Body Rotameter is specially designed to be installed on panels or control boards, providing a space-saving and convenient solution for monitoring flow rates of liquids and gases in confined or controlled environments.
This rotameter features a clear acrylic body that allows for easy visual monitoring of the flow, offering real-time data without the need for additional sensors or complex instrumentation. It is particularly suitable for industries like chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and HVAC systems where flow control and monitoring are critical.
What is a Panel Mounting Acrylic Body Rotameter?
A Panel Mounting Acrylic Body Rotameter is a type of variable-area flowmeter designed to measure the flow rate of liquids or gases by utilizing a tapered acrylic tube and a float. The flow of the fluid inside the tube lifts the float to a position that is indicative of the flow rate. This particular design allows for the rotameter to be mounted directly onto a control panel or instrument panel, making it ideal for applications where space is limited or where visibility from a central location is necessary.
The transparent acrylic body provides a clear view of the flow, ensuring ease of use and efficient monitoring. The Panel Mounting Acrylic Body Rotameter is also durable and resistant to many chemicals, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

How Pitambara Engineering Panel Mounting Acrylic Body Rotameter Works
The Panel Mounting Acrylic Body Rotameter operates on the principle of variable-area flow measurement. Here’s how it functions:
- Fluid Flow:
- Fluid enters the rotameter through the inlet and flows through the tapered acrylic tube. As the flow velocity increases, it lifts the float inside the tube.
- Float Movement:
- The float rises to a position where the upward force from the flow of the fluid balances the downward gravitational force on the float. The position of the float corresponds directly to the flow rate, which can be read off the calibrated scale on the side of the tube.
- Panel Mounting:
- The rotameter is mounted on a panel or control board, making it easy to read the flow rate from a central location without needing to approach the unit directly. This feature is ideal for systems that require real-time monitoring from a distance.

- During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
- There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
- Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
- The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
- Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
- Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
- Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
- Float systems are simple and easily understood.
- Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
