SITRANS F VA
SITRANS FVA250 variable area meter
■ Overview ■ Design
Due to its full metal design, the SITRANS FVA250 variable area
meter with a standard length of 250 mm (9.84 inch) can be used
to measure many different types of liquids and gases passing
through closed piping. The robust design means that it can also
be used in harsh conditions. The various types of flange connec-
tions, linings and float materials satisfy the requirements of the
pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
The measured value is displayed directly on the scale with the
standard version. For process monitoring and control, the device
can be equipped with a transmitter (MEM) as well as limit
switches. 3
■ Function
Flow measurement with the SITRANS FVA250 is performed ac-
cording to the float principle. The flowing medium lifts the coni-
cal float in the measuring ring. This increases the ring gap until
an equilibrium is established between the buoyant force of the
medium and the weight of the float. The height of the float is di-
SITRANS FVA250 variable area meter rectly proportional to the flow rate. The movement of the float is
transmitted from one magnet to another magnet in the display
