A rotameter, also called variable area flowmeter, is inherently a volumetric flow measurement device. The word origin is rota(tion) + messer/measure/meter. The scale can be in mass flow units if the volume flow rate is multiplied by a specified density, and in dimension units (mm) or percent.
An indicator floats at a steady value when the forces on it are equal. The main forces are the weight of the float (downward) and the drag force of the fluid (upward). Other forces are the difference in...

Technicians calibrating an infrared thermometer temperature gun
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lot of interest in measuring human body temperature. I’m sure you’ve seen articles or you had your own temperature measured as you entered a public place like a store or medical building. Most of the interest in measuring human body temperature is in the area of non-contact or infrared (IR) temperature measurement. Infrared measurements are ideal for this fever screening because making...

I am always happy when I talk to customers who have been using a 5720A or even a 5700A calibrator for years, and they tell me they really depend on it and are happy with its performance. But now when I see one of those older calibrators in a lab – especially if that lab is using it as their calibration standard that gives them their scope of accreditation – I have to recommend replacing those calibrators with a new 5730A. In this post I want to explain why I am recommending that and also why...
