Variable Area Flow Meters

Custom Engineered Flow Meters

When your process cannot be served by a standard variable area (VA) flow meter configuration, the Brooks Applications Engineering team helps define a fit-for-purpose solution—covering feasibility, form, fit and function from first review through project offering.

From closest standard configuration to custom flow solution

Start with a standard Brooks rotameter, then collaborate with experienced applications engineers to determine what can be customized for your challenging process conditions, corrosion-resistance requirements or spatial constraints. 

Application Support

Experienced applications engineers help identify the right solution and translate process requirements into a clear product direction. 

Engineering Feasibility

Engineering support helps determine feasibility, form, fit and function before a custom solution is proposed. 

Complete Project Coverage

Brooks reviews application aspects and project needs to reduce gaps in the offering and align the configuration with the real operating environment.

Custom Flow Meter Capabilities

Custom variable area flow meter solutions can span mechanical configuration, materials of construction, connection type and measurement range.

 

  • Custom flow ranges
  • High-pressure connection requirements
  • Steam-jacketed configurations
  • Angled and extension meter assemblies
  • High-grade alloy materials for corrosion resistance
  • Special wetted materials and connection options
  • Grayloc-style high-pressure assemblies
  • Configurations for severe operating environments

Start with a Standard Variable Area Flow Meter

A custom flow solution begins by selecting the closest standard configuration, then reviewing what must change to meet your application.
