ZIMMERLI: The ROTAMETER®, variable area flowmeters

for simple and cost-effective flow measurement of gases, liquids and steam without auxiliary power.

Rotameter® are now recognised throughout the world as reliable flowmeters for liquids, gases and steam. In over a million installations, our variable area flowmeters have proven their worth. Rotameter® are truly modular devices: through a variety of cone shapes, floats, scales, process connections and options. This means that a Rotameter® from ROTA-Yokogawa can also be easily adapted to your application.

The main features and characteristics

Patented float blockage detection
Measuring range end value liquid 0.025 - 130 m3/h
Measuring range end value gas 0.75 - 1400 m3/h
The world's only linear measuring tube
All Ex approvals
SIL for limit switches
