RAKD Rotameter Flow Meter

Brand: Yokogawa Electric Corporation

A Float is Guided Concentrically in a conic Metal tube. The position of this float is magnetically transmitted to the indicator. 

The short-tube Rotameter is used for measurement of low flow rates of liquids and gases. 

Its special application is in troubled, opaque or aggressive mediums and under high pressure. 

The instrument is mounted in a vertical pipeline with flow direction upwards. When the process conditions are changed the scale needs to be replaced by a new one of which the values should be calculated.
