ABSTRACT:
A float mountable on a guide rod in a flow meter site tube including a non-metallic body having a generally cylindrical portion and a generally hemispherical portion. The hemispherical portion forms a leading end of the body opposite a tailing end of the body. The trailing end of the body may be boat tail shaped. A method is providing for substituting a non-metallic float for a metallic float within a given flow meter site tube configuration to measure approximately the same flow rate as the metallic float. Another method is provided for substituting different floats within a given site tube configuration to measure different flow rates.
