Definition of SK
All rotameter tubes, accessories, complete assemblies as well as many spare parts have an associated SK number. This number is
used to define component compatibility. Please note that only products with the same SK number are compatible with each other.
Important: The UPW Rotameter Family does not completely follow this structure in that the UPW SK numbers should only be used for
sizing electronic feedback accessories. The UPW subcomponents are specifically designed for this product line and dier from the
standard subcomponents. Optional scales, unless specifically designed for the UPW tube, will therefor not read accurately.
Important: The defined Flow Ranges for each family of
rotameter are accurate for water at 68°F with gpm as the unit
of measurement. The equivalent l/h or m/h scale range can
be calculated using these tables and converting the unit of
measurement. The optional chemical and air scale ranges
shown at left are not directly convertible using this same
method because of the changes in media properties. Please
consult GF for correct scale ranges for these types of scales.

An assembly’s rated temperature range is constrained to the limiting
material’s range. Both the tube and end connection material need to be
considered when determining the full assembly temperature range.

Pressure Loss
The following information is based on water applications at 68º F. Pressure loss is constant over the scale range.
Correction factors are used when application parameters
dier from those at which the provided scale was calibrated to.
All GF scales are calibrated at 68º F with water, a specific
chemical media (HCL, NaOH) or air as the media depending on
the scale. If system conditions dier from these parameters
an operator can multiply the scale reading by the correction
factors listed below to determine the actual flow volume.
