Proven technology: The Rotameter
(variable area) principle

The Rotameter (variable area flowmeter) is one of the

oldest and mature principles in flow measurement.

A float is guided inside a conically shaped tube.

The float rises within the tube as the flow increases.

This mechanical principle is as simple as it is reliable.

Due to its operating principle the

Rotameters are installed in vertical pipes.
Once the process medium flows through
the tube, the gravimetric force balances
with the flow resistive force in such a way
that the position of the float indicates the
flow rate value.

8
Economical:
Modular and flexible

Rotameters are completely modular

and flexible. The measuring tube

can be made of glass, plastic or metal

– depending on the application.

If the tube is made of metal, the float

position is transferred to an external
indicator via a magnetic coupling. In the
case of glass and plastic tubes you can
simply view the float position to get a
reliable reading of the flow rate.

The mechanical nature of the measuring prin-

ciple provides a flow device that does not
require any electrical power supply. However,
there are many applications in process plants
that do require electronic indication and
transmission of the measured flow rate to other
associated devices. This capability
has considerably expanded the range of
applications for the variable area flowmeter.

Long Term Stability:
The vortex flowmeter principle

Flow measurement is – if you will – nothing but a

message providing information, the information

is most accurate if the measurement takes

place right at the heart of the flow

stream. This was the philosophy at

Yokogawa when in 1968 the world’s

first instrument to measure the flow

of flue gas was developed.

The basic principle of vortex shedding is The vortex technology is ideally suited and
visible in daily life. The fluttering of a flag applicable for measuring clean gases,
in the wind is a prime example. steam and low viscous liquids.
The frequency of the vortices is an
indication of wind speed. Applied to flow The advantages are: relatively low
