Monitor liquid or gas flow directly at the pipework with Ryutai Kogyo GTF, ATF, GTV and ATV variable area flowmeters. A float moves inside a transparent tapered tube, allowing operators to read instantaneous flow against the measuring scale.

The four series provide different combinations of measuring-tube and connection materials. Select the complete construction around the fluid, operating conditions and installation requirements.

SeriesMeasuring tubeConstructionSelection considerations
GTF Glass Metal-component and lined configurations, depending on specification. Check the tube, float, seals and connection materials against the fluid and operating conditions.
ATF Acrylic Connection and wetted-material options according to configuration. Confirm acrylic compatibility, temperature limits and pressure rating.
GTV Glass PVC construction with glass measuring tube. Consider for compatible duties in PVC pipework; verify every wetted material.
ATV Acrylic PVC construction with acrylic measuring tube. Check compatibility with both PVC and acrylic, including any cleaning chemicals.

Construction note: These are transparent-tube flowmeters. Metal fittings or supporting parts do not make the measuring tube an all-metal design.

GTF glass tube flowmeters

The GTF series provides direct indication through a glass tapered tube. Specify the fluid, flow range and connection arrangement when selecting a configuration for a new installation or replacing an existing instrument.

ATF acrylic tube flowmeters

The ATF series uses an acrylic tapered measuring tube. The selected model must suit the fluid and its operating conditions; temperature and pressure ratings from a GTF configuration should not be applied automatically.

GTV and ATV PVC flowmeters

The GTV and ATV series offer PVC construction for compatible liquid and gas applications. GTV combines PVC components with a glass measuring tube, while ATV combines PVC components with an acrylic measuring tube.

These configurations can be considered for water treatment, compatible chemical services and PVC piping systems. Suitability depends on the complete wetted-material combination, fluid concentration, temperature and pressure.

Selection pointWhat to confirm
Chemical compatibility Check the fluid against the measuring tube, PVC components, float, guide and seals.
Temperature The ATV PVC-U catalogue specifies 0–40°C. Confirm the applicable limit for the selected GTV or ATV configuration.
Working pressure Depends on model and size. A flange connection designation alone does not establish the complete meter pressure rating.
Pipe connections Confirm flange standard, nominal size and installation dimensions.
Alarm requirement Specify the switching point and required number of contacts. Availability depends on the model and size.

Flow range and calibration conditions

For liquids: Provide the liquid name, density, viscosity and operating temperature. A water scale should not automatically be used to measure a different liquid.

For gases: Provide the gas composition, working pressure and temperature. Specify whether your required units represent actual operating volume or normalised volume, including the reference conditions.

Each meter has a selected measuring scale. Pipe size alone does not determine the correct range, and a single instrument does not cover every range offered within its series.

For a compact water-only installation with threaded connections, compare the Ryutai Kogyo ADF water flowmeter.

Installation and replacement checks

Standard installation is vertical, with flow entering at the bottom and leaving at the top. Keep the scale visible and allow access for inspection and maintenance.

For an existing GTF, ATF, GTV or ATV, provide photographs of the meter, identification markings and scale. Include the connection standard and overall installation dimensions so measurement suitability and mechanical fit can be checked.

For replacement tubes, floats, seals or alarm components, provide the original model details. Parts should not be selected by appearance or pipe size alone.
