ACCESSORY FLOWTUBES
For Use with FL-3000 Series variable area flow meter,
Multi-Tube Assemblies and Gas Proportioners
B
The flow tubes shown on this page
can be installed into any of the 150
mm variable area flow meter. Flow
capacities shown are based on
calibrations with air and water at 21°C
(70°F) and 14.7 psia. For other fluids
or conditions, the following equations
provide rough approximations.

Gas
Qa = Q
where:
Qa = equivalent air flow scale
reading at Standard Conditions
Qg = true flow of metered gas
G = specific gravity of metered gas
Ta = absolute temperature at flow
conditions, deg R or deg K
To = absolute temperature at
Standard Conditions deg R
(530) or deg K (294)
Pa = pressure at flow conditions,
psia
Po = pressure at Standard
Conditions, (14.7 psia)
Liquid
QW = QL x
where:
Qw = equivalent water flow capacity
at Standard Conditions
QL = maximum flow of metered liquid
df = density of float selected,
(See Table, right), (g/ml)
dL = density of metered liquid, (g/ml)
dw = density of water at Standard
Conditions, (1.0 g/ml)

Comes complete with correlation sheets for air and water.
Suffix refers to float: G = black glass, SA = red sapphire,
*
ST = 316 stainless steel, C = carboloy, T = tantalum.
Minimum flow is equal to 10% of the maximum listed.
For highest precision, field calibration is required.
