The Fluxom Variable Area Flowmeter is a dependable solution for measuring the volumetric flow of liquids, gases, and steam. Based on the variable area principle, the device operates by allowing a float to rise inside a vertically installed tapered tube. As the fluid flow increases, the float moves upward, enlarging the flow area until it reaches equilibrium—providing a direct and visible indication of flow rate.

Compact, cost-effective, and easy to operate, Fluxom’s Variable Area Flowmeter offers mechanical or digital display options, making it suitable for both basic and advanced process applications. As the fluid passes through the meter, the float lifts and stabilizes at a point that reflects the flow rate on the calibrated scale.

This classic yet modernized design delivers accurate readings even in harsh industrial conditions, and is a preferred choice in systems handling aggressive media, high temperature, or high pressure.
