Variable Area (VA) Flow Meters

McMenon Variable Area (VA) Flowmeters (rotameters), provide a fail-safe, cost-effective solution for measuring liquid and gas flow across various industries. Designed for precision, durability, and flexibility, our VA meters are available in metal or glass tube configurations, offering real-time visual flow rate monitoring with either a clear glass tube or an easy-to-read dial indicator.

With customisable tube lengths and tapers, our flowmeters are engineered to meet specific process fluid requirements, ensuring accurate and reliable performance. Key benefits include:

Flexible Measurement Options – Direct scale reading, standard/normal condition corrections, or ratio-based measurement along the tapered tube.
Precision & Compliance – Scales can be adjusted to match required accuracy classes with full compliance to VDI/VDE standards.
Ideal for Laboratory & OEM Applications – Affordable, high-performance flow measurement with integrated pressure and flow control via regulators and control valves.
Hazardous Area Approvals – Certified for zones 0, 1, and 2, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.

McMenon’s VA Flowmeters are trusted globally for their efficiency, simplicity, and adaptability, delivering precise flow measurement across oil & gas, water treatment, food & beverage, pulp & paper, chemical processing, and laboratory applications.
