Variable Area Flow Meters

Variable Area flow meters measure volumetric flow of liquids and gases. This technology is based on the variable area principle, where flow raises a float in a tube, increasing the area for passage of the fluid through the meter.

Variable Area Flow Meters

High Performance in Demanding Applications. Low Cost of Operation.

Hedland Variable Area flow meters provide a quick, visual flow indication on an easy-to-read linear scale to confirm that flow systems are operating properly.

  • Enhanced Reliability. Feature an impressively readable design that makes these meters a suitable option to monitor a wide range of liquids, fluids and emulsions. 
  • Low Cost of Operation. Designed for easy installation and minimal maintenance over the course of the long life expectancy.
  • Durable Construction. Built to withstand demanding applications in fluid power, oil and gas, automotive, semiconductor, mining and discrete manufacturing. 

How It Works

  • Measuring Principle
Measuring Principle
Measuring Principle

Variable area meters measure volumetric flow of liquids and gases. An orifice is positioned within the piston assembly and forms an annular opening with the contoured metering cone. The piston assembly carries a cylindrical ceramic magnet that is coupled to an external flow indicator that moves precisely in direct response to the piston movement. A calibrated spring opposes flow in the forward direction, decreasing viscosity sensitivity.
