Original Japan Yokogawas RAMC05 Variable Area Flow Meter
Yokogawa RAMC05 Metal Tube Rotameter – Detailed Introduction
Model Overview:
The RAMC05 is part of Yokogawa’s RAMC series of metal tube variable area flowmeters designed for measuring flow rates of liquids, gases, and steam in a wide range of industrial applications. Unlike glass
rotameters, RAMC05 uses a stainless steel measuring tube and an internal float, making it ideal for high pressure, high temperature, and corrosive applications.
Working Principle:
The RAMC05 operates on the variable area principle:
- As the fluid enters from the bottom and flows upward through the
tapered metal tube, it lifts the float.
- The float rises until the upward force from the fluid equals the downward gravitational force.
- The position of the float is proportional to the flow rate.
- A magnetic coupling transmits the float position to an external indicator (mechanical or electronic).
