Digital Steam Jacket Flow Meter
A Steam Jacket Flow Meter is an advanced flow measurement instrument that operates on the variable area principle combined with electronic sensing and digital Display technology. It is designed to provide highly accurate, real-time flow measurement of liquids, gases, and steam in industrial applications.
In this flow meter, a float moves within a tapered tube based on the flow rate. The float position is detected using magnetic coupling or sensor technology, and the signal is converted into a digital output displayed on an integrated indicator.

Principle of Operation
The Steam Jacket Flow Meter measures the flow of liquids and gases using the Variable Area Principle. As fluid flows through the tapered tube, it lifts a float the height of which corresponds to the flow rate. This float movement is transferred via magnetic coupling to an external pointer, which moves over a calibrated scale to indicate the flow. The design ensures safe, accurate measurement without direct contact between the fluid and the indicator.
