Abstract
A uniform method of correlating flow data for all float-type variable-area meters is presented. Curves correlating the results of 73 calibrations of rotameters in ½-in. to 2-in. sizes and suitable for general flow calculation purposes are presented. Installation influences are discussed. A theoretical equation combining energy and momentum considerations is presented and compared with available data for incompressible flow.Keywords
