IME SA provides a wide range of flowmeters, also designated as variable area flowmeters which give a visual indication of the flow level.

The working principle of the flowmeter is based on the drag force the fluid exerts on the float, moveable within a given variable flow section.

Enabling the exact measurement of low flow liquids, gases and steam, they are available in glass or stainless steel tubes.

This equipments are able to measure flows with low pressures, presenting minimal pressure losses and there are no leakages or they do not practically exist.

As its design is a simple solution it offers measurement accuracy and safety, with no maintenance/calibration difficulty. Therefore, the use of these flowmeters is common in the following industries:

• Water and water treatment;
• Chemical and Petrochemical;
• Petroleum and Gas;
• Pulp and Paper;
• Metals and Minerals;
• Food and Beverage
• Pharmaceutical.
