MAXIFLOTM MMV Series Metal Tube Rotameters

Overview 100% Customer Satisfaction

MaxiFloTM MMV Series Metal Tube Rotameters are

rugged, versatile and accurate variable area (VA) flow
meter offering 2.0% full scale accuracy.

It’s based on simple and easy-to-understand flow

measuring principle but is versatile in the types of fluid it
can measure and site conditions, under which it can be
installed.

The meter is manufactured to the user’s application

Metal Tube Variable-
specifications. So, there’s no configuration or calculation
required at the time of installation or operation. So, it’s Area Flow Meter
simple to install and operate.
(Series MMV, MMVS,
The flow rate is indicated on a scale with a needle that is
coupled to the rotating float using a magnet. Using
potentiometer circuitry, the meter can output 4-20mA
MMVT, MMVU)
signal for flow rate, which can in turn be used to display
the instant flow rate and the totalized flow on a digital
LCD and output pulse signal for the accumulated flow. It
can also output alarm contact signal for low and/or high
set points for flow controlling processes.

Various materials can be used for wetted parts. So, the

meter can handle almost all liquids and gases that are
highly corrosive. Also, the meter can be used for
hazardous areas using Ex-Proof enclosure option.

Main Features
MMV-A MMV-B MMV-C
Simple Measurement Principle
This is one of the earliest flow meters that came into use. It
adopts easy-to-understand and very intuitive principle of
variable-area flow meter principle. (Please refer to Operation
Principle overleaf)

Simple Design
In its primitive basics, the measuring element is composed of
just a tapered tube and a float.

Low Maintenance MMV-D

Constructed to sustain corrosion, abrasion and shocks, etc., MMVS
the meter requires minimum maintenance. MMV-E

Versatile Construction
The meter can measure all liquids, gases and steam.

Various Flow Directions

The meter can be configured for Bottom to Top, Bottom to Top
Side, Bottom Side to Top, Bottom Side to Top Side and
Bottom Rear to Top Rear.

Various Output and Display Options

4-20mA, pulse, alarm contact, flow rate display and total
display are available.

Explosion Proof Enclosure

For signal output models, the user can choose ex-proof MMVU MMV/LF
enclosure for hazardous environment. MMVT

MAXIFLOTM MMV Series Metal Tube Rotameters

Operation Principle

Variable-area flow meters, often called rotameters, consist essentially of a tapered tube, a float and scaled indicator as
you see in the figure below. Although classified as differential pressure units, they are, in reality, constant differential
pressure devices. Flanged-end or screwed-end fittings provide an easy means for installing them in pipes. When there is
no flow, the float rests freely at the bottom of the tube. As the fluid enters the bottom of the tube, the float begins to rise.
The float material is selected so as to have a density higher than that of the fluid and the position of the float varies
directly with the flow rate. Its exact position is at the point where the differential pressure between the upper and the
lower surfaces balance the weight of the float.

Because the flow rate can be read directly on a scale mounted next to the tube, no secondary flow-reading devices are
necessary. However, if desired, automatic sensing devices can be used to sense the float's level and transmit a flow
signal. Rotameter tubes are manufactured from glass, metal, or plastic. Tube diameters vary from 1/4 to greater than 6
in.
