1 Foreword 2 Principle of Operation Welcome to the first edition of Yokogawa s Rotameter Catalogue. A Rotameter measures the flow of liquids, gases and steam by using a float inside a tapered tube. The name Rotameter came from our company, Rota Yokogawa, and has since become the brand name for variable area flow meters. Yokogawa has recently celebrated many milestones with highlights being our 35 th anniversary of our first European sales office and the 100 th anniversary of Rota Yokogawa. Over the last hundred years we have built up a reputation for quality, reliability and safety. Yokogawa has set the standard for the variable area flow meter industry since the introduction of the Original Rotameter. While other suppliers have come and gone, we remain the rock foundation on which you can always rely. The fluid enters at the bottom of the tube and a friction force is generated as the fluid passing through the annular gap between the float and the tube wall. The float rises until the frictional force, gravity and buoyancy of the float are all in equilibrium. The tube is tapered so that the gap between the tube and float is larger at the top to allow a greater flow to pass through the meter. As gravity works in a vertical orientation so the tube needs to be vertically oriented. Rota Yokogawa developed the rotating float which stabilises the position of the float to provide a more stable flow measurement. We have selected the most common types of glass & plastic Rotameters and made the ordering as simple as possible with short models and standard flow ranges. These Rotameters can now be purchased without sizing from Yokogawa. Let our 100 years of application experience combined with our broad product offering solve your measurement problems. Gravity Flow Page 4 Page 5

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. 3 Rotameter Overview Trust your own eyes: Rotameter RGC & RQC Series 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 flow Tube de mesure 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. If the tube is made of metal the float position is transferred to an outside indicator via a magnetic coupling. The mechanical nature of the measuring principle provides a flow device that does not require any electrical power. However, as there are many Applications in process plants that do require electronic indication and transmission of the measured flow rate, Yokogawa s Rotameter portfolio does also provide different solutions. 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 Rotameter principle is one of the oldest and mature principles in flow measurement. This mechanical principle is as simple as it is reliable. For tubes made out of glass or plastic the flow is measured by looking at the position of the float against a scale. RGC1 series Glass Rotameter RQC1 series Plastic Rotameter The tube is made of metal you can not see the float therefore a magnetic coupling is required to connect the float to an external indicator and optional electronic transmitter. RGC2 series Glass Rotameter A power supply is not needed if only a local indication is required, thereby making Rotameters a very cost effective flow meter. RGC3 series Glass Rotameter Page 6 Page 7

6 Customer Standards 7 Best Practises for Installation of Rotameters 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. 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. 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.

8 Introduction of Metal Rotameters Robust and universal: Metal Rotameter Series RAMC Small in size, big in performance: Metal Rotameter RAKD 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 Easy to read display All stainless steel design Adjustment valve and flow controller available Fast connection technique using Quickon connector Suitable for SIL 2 applications 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 safetyinstrumented 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. 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.
