FlowTubes and FACS Tubes Are Versatile and Accurate

The flow rate of a non-Newtonian fluid in a Flowtube is determined by its viscosity. Non-Newtonian fluids can have a significant effect on the density of a magnetic field in the tube. Therefore, special compensating designs are necessary. If the flow rate of a non-Newtonian fluid is high, it may to an inaccurate reading of the Flowtube.

In addition to the mass flow rate, the velocity of a flowtube may vary when two-phase flow occurs. This condition is called a Poiseuille flow, where the downstream velocity profile is parabolic. This type of flow is described by the Navier-Stokes equations. Flowtubes with a few restrictions will have a lower pressure drop. The increase in boundary layer thickness as flow velocity increases is another cause of error.
FlowTube Steel is a versatile solution for heavy-duty material flow applications. Available in a variety of finishes, Steel FlowTubes are commonly used in heavy manufacturing and retail logistics warehouses. They can be towed by Automatic Guide Vehicles (AGVs). The flexibility of FlowTube Steel makes it ideal for a variety of applications.


FlowTubes are ideal for collection of dissociated cell samples. They have a 35 um mesh screen and can be used with a variety of FACS systems. They are also available with a standard two-position culture cap. FlowTubes are commonly used for flow cytometry and automated cell sorting.
FlowTubes are also compatible with a variety of frame sizes. These versatile differential pressure devices provide highly accurate readings with minimal permanent pressure loss. They are also able to withstand pressures. For example, a 65-mm flowtube can measure up to 0.5 percent of air flow.
Another common use for flow-tube reactors is in the kinetics of reactions. They have a half-life of 0.05 to two seconds and are ideal for fast reactions. As a result, they are particularly suitable for anionic polymerization experiments.
