Welcome to the 2nd edition of Yokogawa’s Glass Rotameter Catalogue.
With this edition we introduce the new RGC4 Rotameter which replaces the RGC3 model. The RGC4
model will now complete the porfolio of our proven selection of Glass and Plastic Rotameters. These
simple and affordable flowmeters have a very broad application range, smart design and decades of
reliable performance.
In these days when environmental management has finally found its way into our minds and
enterprises, the pure mechanical principle of the Rotameter regains even more momentum. For
manufacturers it is important to optimize productivity, consume less energy and reduce energy
costs. Using Rotameters with their comparably low pressure loss results in low pumping costs and
therefore energy savings. Rotameters work without power and are therefore sustainable. The new
RGC4 can be completely disassembled and consists from recyclable materials only. The RGC4
design, made from common standard components and parts being used from other Yokogawa flow
products, leads to a synergy effect in production and to resource and energy conservation. This is
key to sustainable future Yokogawa takes into account at every stage of the product lifecycle. Think
of your carbon foot print – use Rotameters!
1 Foreword
The clear path to operational excellence
Page 4
A Rotameter measures the flow of liquids, gases and steam by using a float inside a tapered tube.
The medium passes through the metering tube from bottom to top and consequently rises the
float until there is an annular gap between the inside surface of the metering tube and the float and
equilibrium of the following forces has been achieved.
Buoyancy / Gravity / Friction force
ROTA developed the form of the rotating float which provides self stabilization. In case of glass and
plastic tubes you can simply view the float position to get a reliable reading of the flow rate from the
top of the float.
The Rotameter principle is one of the oldest and mature principles in flow measurement. This
mechanical principle is as simple as it is reliable.
2 Principle of Operation
Gravity
Flow
Page 5
Trust your own eyes: Rotameter RGC & RQC Series
The flow tube is transparent giving you full insight into process and position of the float – a scale
located on the tube indicates the true flow rate.
The Rotameter gets its name from the rotating float which was developed by ROTA to provide self
stabilization.
A Rotameter is truly modular flowmeter. The variety in cones, floats and scales combine to make the
Yokogawa Rotameter suitable for a very wide range of Applications.

The clear path to operational excellence
6 Customer Standards
No limitation:
Rotameter customized solutions
The Rotameter is known all over the world
as a reliable measurement instrument and
nowadays is synonymous with the variable
area flowmeter principle. We built this
reputation on customer oriented solutions.
We have the ability to design and manufacture
customer specific solutions made of glass or
plastic.
Most custom-made Rotameters contain
different sizes, special materials and scales or
individual flow ranges.
Once the standard is created it leads to short
response time and high quality.
Customer standards are suited for a
continuous supply of a larger amount of
custom-made Rotameters.
All you need to do is tell us what is necessary
to fulfil your requirements and we will provide
the solution.
Our customers have the opportunity to
develop with us a specific solution for their
application and take advantage of our 100
years experience.
Please contact our Technical Sales Team for
your customized Rotameters.

7 Best Practises for Installation of Rotameters
Extract from VDI/VDE 3513 - Part 3
• Rotameters must be vertically oriented (flow direction: bottom to top).
• It is absolutely imperative to avoid stress resulting from the connecting pipeline.
• Rotameters must be shielded from pipeline vibration by taking suitable installation measures.
Rotameters must be safeguarded from pulsations in the measured medium.
• Disturbance-free inlet and outlet sections are generally not required. However, in case of gases
measurement a straight, undisturbed length of approx. 5 times the internal pipe diameter is
recommended.
• For gases, in order to avoid measuring errors, it is advisable to select the arrangement such that the
pressure in the Rotameter is as constant as possible and corresponds to the calibration pressure.

The clear path to operational excellence
What makes this Rotameter different from other
brands is known by many users, who value the
ease of installation and trouble-free operation.
At first glance the instrument looks impressive
with its all stainless steel design. A closer
look reveals a unique patented “blocked float
indication system”. If you value flexibility in a
flowmeter – from the measurement of air to
highly aggressive liquids – in situ replacement
of the indicator without degradation of
performance – the interchangeability of floats –
then the RAMC is for you.
The RAMC combines all the advantages of
the variable area principle with robust design,
reliable measurement, with or without power,
HART®
or Profibus PA, culminating in a truly
universal flowmeter for gases, liquids and steam
applications.
Operational safety is of the utmost importance
in any flowmeter, and the RAMC is no exception
– wetted parts are available in a variety of
materials, and intrinsically safe outputs or an
explosion proof housing are available as an
option.
Already in 2005 the well-known independent
organisation Exida®
made a hardware
assessment according to the relevant
functional safety standards like IEC 61508.
The assessment consists of a Failure Modes,
Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA).
From the FMEDA failure rates are determined
and consequently the Safe Failure Fraction
(SFF) is calculated for the device. The result
of the FMEDA must be considered in order to
determine suitability for a specific Safety Integrity
Level (SIL).
The RAMC with 4…20 mA output or HART®
protocol is suitable for the use in safety-
instrumented systems according to IEC 61508-2
with SIL 1 level due to its unique and patented
blocked float indication system.
The RAMC with local indicator and either
standard or fail-safe limit switches can be used
up to SIL 2 level applications.

Small in size, big in performance: Metal Rotameter RAKD
The RAKD is the smaller brother of the RAMC
– is robust in design – for low flows and high
pressure applications.
The RAKD differentiates itself from other
comparable variable area meters by means of
light and guided float design. This feature avoids
oscillations caused by gas compressibility,
leading to very stable measurement. Further
the RAKD offers a wide range of process
connections.
With the FMEDA for the RAKD Yokogawa
is the first supplier to become complete to
provide safety excellence to all Metal Rotameter
applications.
The RAKD with either standard or fail safe limit
switches is suitable for safety applications up to
SIL Level 2. The RAKD configuration with valve
and flow controller reaches SIL Level 1.

  • 3. Page 3 Welcome to the 2nd edition of Yokogawa’s Glass Rotameter Catalogue. With this edition we introduce the new RGC4 Rotameter which replaces the RGC3 model. The RGC4 model will now complete the porfolio of our proven selection of Glass and Plastic Rotameters. These simple and affordable flowmeters have a very broad application range, smart design and decades of reliable performance. In these days when environmental management has finally found its way into our minds and enterprises, the pure mechanical principle of the Rotameter regains even more momentum. For manufacturers it is important to optimize productivity, consume less energy and reduce energy costs. Using Rotameters with their comparably low pressure loss results in low pumping costs and therefore energy savings. Rotameters work without power and are therefore sustainable. The new RGC4 can be completely disassembled and consists from recyclable materials only. The RGC4 design, made from common standard components and parts being used from other Yokogawa flow products, leads to a synergy effect in production and to resource and energy conservation. This is key to sustainable future Yokogawa takes into account at every stage of the product lifecycle. Think of your carbon foot print – use Rotameters! 1 Foreword
  • 4. The clear path to operational excellence Page 4 A Rotameter measures the flow of liquids, gases and steam by using a float inside a tapered tube. The medium passes through the metering tube from bottom to top and consequently rises the float until there is an annular gap between the inside surface of the metering tube and the float and equilibrium of the following forces has been achieved. Buoyancy / Gravity / Friction force ROTA developed the form of the rotating float which provides self stabilization. In case of glass and plastic tubes you can simply view the float position to get a reliable reading of the flow rate from the top of the float. The Rotameter principle is one of the oldest and mature principles in flow measurement. This mechanical principle is as simple as it is reliable. 2 Principle of Operation Gravity Flow
  • 5. Page 5 Trust your own eyes: Rotameter RGC & RQC Series The flow tube is transparent giving you full insight into process and position of the float – a scale located on the tube indicates the true flow rate. The Rotameter gets its name from the rotating float which was developed by ROTA to provide self stabilization. A Rotameter is truly modular flowmeter. The variety in cones, floats and scales combine to make the Yokogawa Rotameter suitable for a very wide range of Applications.

  • 26. The clear path to operational excellence 6 Customer Standards No limitation: Rotameter customized solutions The Rotameter is known all over the world as a reliable measurement instrument and nowadays is synonymous with the variable area flowmeter principle. We built this reputation on customer oriented solutions. We have the ability to design and manufacture customer specific solutions made of glass or plastic. Most custom-made Rotameters contain different sizes, special materials and scales or individual flow ranges. Once the standard is created it leads to short response time and high quality. Customer standards are suited for a continuous supply of a larger amount of custom-made Rotameters. All you need to do is tell us what is necessary to fulfil your requirements and we will provide the solution. Our customers have the opportunity to develop with us a specific solution for their application and take advantage of our 100 years experience. Please contact our Technical Sales Team for your customized Rotameters. Page 26
  • 27. 7 Best Practises for Installation of Rotameters Extract from VDI/VDE 3513 - Part 3 • Rotameters must be vertically oriented (flow direction: bottom to top). • It is absolutely imperative to avoid stress resulting from the connecting pipeline. • Rotameters must be shielded from pipeline vibration by taking suitable installation measures. Rotameters must be safeguarded from pulsations in the measured medium. • Disturbance-free inlet and outlet sections are generally not required. However, in case of gases measurement a straight, undisturbed length of approx. 5 times the internal pipe diameter is recommended. • For gases, in order to avoid measuring errors, it is advisable to select the arrangement such that the pressure in the Rotameter is as constant as possible and corresponds to the calibration pressure.

  • 28. The clear path to operational excellence What makes this Rotameter different from other brands is known by many users, who value the ease of installation and trouble-free operation. At first glance the instrument looks impressive with its all stainless steel design. A closer look reveals a unique patented “blocked float indication system”. If you value flexibility in a flowmeter – from the measurement of air to highly aggressive liquids – in situ replacement of the indicator without degradation of performance – the interchangeability of floats – then the RAMC is for you. The RAMC combines all the advantages of the variable area principle with robust design, reliable measurement, with or without power, HART® or Profibus PA, culminating in a truly universal flowmeter for gases, liquids and steam applications. Operational safety is of the utmost importance in any flowmeter, and the RAMC is no exception – wetted parts are available in a variety of materials, and intrinsically safe outputs or an explosion proof housing are available as an option. Already in 2005 the well-known independent organisation Exida® made a hardware assessment according to the relevant functional safety standards like IEC 61508. The assessment consists of a Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA). From the FMEDA failure rates are determined and consequently the Safe Failure Fraction (SFF) is calculated for the device. The result of the FMEDA must be considered in order to determine suitability for a specific Safety Integrity Level (SIL). The RAMC with 4…20 mA output or HART® protocol is suitable for the use in safety- instrumented systems according to IEC 61508-2 with SIL 1 level due to its unique and patented blocked float indication system. The RAMC with local indicator and either standard or fail-safe limit switches can be used up to SIL 2 level applications. 8 Introduction of Metal Rotameters Robust and universal: Metal Rotameter Series RAMC Page 28 Patented blocked float indication system Retrofitable damping system for gas applications Extension for high/low temperature applications Explosion proof housing available HART® protocol Profibus PA Suitable for SIL 2 applications Special material like Monel or Hastelloy on request
  • 29. Small in size, big in performance: Metal Rotameter RAKD The RAKD is the smaller brother of the RAMC – is robust in design – for low flows and high pressure applications. The RAKD differentiates itself from other comparable variable area meters by means of light and guided float design. This feature avoids oscillations caused by gas compressibility, leading to very stable measurement. Further the RAKD offers a wide range of process connections. With the FMEDA for the RAKD Yokogawa is the first supplier to become complete to provide safety excellence to all Metal Rotameter applications. The RAKD with either standard or fail safe limit switches is suitable for safety applications up to SIL Level 2. The RAKD configuration with valve and flow controller reaches SIL Level 1.
