General Specifications Model RAGK Rotameter This type of Rotameter is designed for measurement of liquids and gases. The conical glass metering tube has a free rotating float. This float is mounted in a vertical pipeline with flow direction upwards. The flow is indicated by the top of the float and can be read from the standard scale on the metering tube or from a connected scale. When the process conditions are changed the scale needs to be replaced by a new one of which the values should be calculated. FEATURES Large selection of measuring ranges High accuracy by free rotating float even at low flow rates Low pressure loss Visual check of the medium Non-powered local indication Large selection of scales Optional built-in valve Exact scale calculation at changed process conditions according to VDE/VDI guidelines 3513 with the use of the flow table (option /PT) STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS Measurable flow rates - Water (20 C) : 0.002 l/h to 600 l/h - Air (20 C ; 1 bar abs.) : 0.2 l/h to 6 300 l/h Measuring range : 10:1 (20:1) Metering tubes : M3; K6; M6; K7; M7 Accuracy Metering Length Accuracy acc. tube VDE/VDI 3513 Bl.2 K 75 mm 4 (für ball 6) M 150 mm 2.5 Max. temperature - Standard : 100 C - with option /MV : 130 C (not for PP Rotameter) Max. pressure : 16 bar Material process connection - Inner thread : PP or 1.4571 (for optional controller: brass or 1.4571) - Cutting ring : 1.4571 or steel - Nozzle : 1.4571; steel - Swageloc-Connection : 1.4571 Holder material : Polypropylene; 1.4571 (gaskets Buna; Viton) Design (valve) : with or without optional built-in valve Length approx.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DETERMINING THE MODEL CODE Please specify in the following order: - Measuring range for water/liquids or measuring range for air/gas - With or without optional limit switch Select the desired measuring range from the appropriate flow table. Note the required float material for limit switches resp. the insertion (last column) and determine the suffix code for the metering tube - float combination. After the code for metering tube - length - diameter, to be found in the model code, is determined, and the selection with valve or without valve is made, the model code can be completed.
