This study disscusses design and calibration
of a rotameter set for measurement of gas flows. In Ihis study, various gases
(such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen and argon) are used for
calibralion of the rotameter set. Each rotameter was calibraled with one or two
gases and resıılting gas flowrates through the rotameters (R1, R2 and R3)
compared with each other according to their molecular weight.
