General ROTAMETER RAKD

Variable Area Flowmeter

Specifications
GS 01R01B30-00E-E

The short-tube Rotameter is used for measurement of low

flow rates of liquids and gases. Its special application is in
turbulent, opaque or aggressive mediums and under high
pressure.
The instrument is mounted in a vertical pipeline with flow
direction upwards and the flow is indicated by a guided
magnetic float inside the conical metal tube, which transmits
its position to the indicator. The correct flow can be then read
on the scale.

flanges

with fixed valve position, back pressure 1 bar (14.5 psi) (atmo-
sphere conditions).

PLANNING AND INSTALLATION HINTS

• The user is responsible for the use of the flowmeters with regard to suitability and intended use.

• The actual process pressure must be lower as the specified pressure limits.

• Make sure that the wetted parts are resistant to the process fluid.

• Ambient- and process temperature must be between the specified temperature limits.

• If dirt accumulation is to be expected, we recommend to install a bypass pipe.

• To avoid float bouncing in case of gas application notice the recommendations of VDI/VDE 3513 Sheet 3.

• To avoid mutual magnetic influence in case of paralleldesign of several Rotameters please make sure that the distance
between the tube middle axes is at least 300 mm. The distance to other ferromagnetic materials should be at least 250 mm.

• Avoid static magnetic fields next to the Rotameter.

Specify the following when ordering:

Standard:
• Model, suffix and option code
• Flow conditions
• Temperature
• Pressure
• Viscosity (see viscosity limit)
• Density

For gases:
• Cross reference of the scale
• Option /B: customer specific markings

For your special application please use the Yokogawa Sizing Software www.FlowConfigurator.com.

MODEL SPECIFICATIONS
RAKD are available with valve or without valve. For a RAKD with valve, the flow inlet will be from the rear (see fig. 6). For a RAKD
without valve, the flow inlet will be from the bottom (see fig. 3). On the following pages you will be able to configure the matching
model for your application.
