STATIC ELECTRICITY AND ROTAMETERS
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1972 SUMMARY Inaccuracies in Rotameters, caused by static charges, seem to be relatively common. Inaccuracies can be of a very serious order. Charges outside the tubes can be removed easily by antistatic spray. Charges inside the tube are very difficult to remove except by dismantling the apparatus or by the use of a radioactive pistol.
