DAC Worldwide's Dissectible Variable Area Flow Meter (272-718) (rotameter) allows for close visual inspection of a common PVC and acrylic liquid flow meter to better understand its function, design characteristics, operation, and possible maintenance.

Widely-used due to its simplicity of construction, direct-reading capability, and limited maintenance needs, the working operator or technician should be familiar with its operating principle and factors that might compromise its reliability in use.

The cutaway is mounted to a threaded pipe stanchion allowing for more complete disassembly using basic mechanical tools and closer inspection and visualization of the maintenance process.

The cutaway is mounted on a modular, formed-steel mounting baseplate. It can also be easily mounted on related DAC Worldwide display and storage structures.
