General Model RAQN

Plastic Rotameter ®
Specifications

This type of Rotameter is designed for measurement of liquids

and gases. The conical plastic metering tube has a free rotating
float.
The mounting position is vertical with flow direction upwards.
The flow is indicated by the top position of the float and can be
read from the standard scale on the metering tube or from a
connected scale.

FEATURES
● Breakage proof
● Easy to handle
● Highly corrosion-resistant
● Low pressure loss
● Visible monitoring of the measured medium
● Local indication without resource
● Selectable scale

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DETERMINING THE MODEL CODE

Please specify in the following order
- Measuring range for water/liquid or air/gas
- With or without optional limit switch
- With or without optional valve

First select the required measuring range from the flow table (last column) and specify the float insertion for the optional limit switch. Then
the suffix code of the combination metering tube - float can be fixed.
The suffix code of the measuring tube length/diameter with or without the optional valve completes the model code specification.
