Provides Direct Mass Flow Measurement for Saturated Steam The use of a precision platinum RTD coupled with and the ability to perform complex density calculations allow the vortex flow meter to provide a direct mass flow measurement without the need for a separate mass flow calculator.
Highly Accurate When correctly installed, the mass flow measurement accuracy for saturated steam is better than ± 1.5% of reading in the most common pipe sizes.
Insertion Design Allows for insertion and removal without a system shutdown. Ideal for retrofit installations.
Simple Installation and Commissioning The loop powered design simplifies wiring and signal processing. Additionally, each vortex flow meter is factory programmed and ready for use upon delivery. The built-in user interface provides access to all programming functions, including a comprehensive self diagnostic capability. This self diagnostic capability is a useful tool for identifying common installation problems.
State-of-the-Art Vortex Flow Sensing Achieved by using a two-stage bluff body/sensor design that enhances signal sensitivity and extends the operating range of the meter. Sensors are located behind the bluff body and are better protected from pressure shocks and water hammer.
Advanced Signal Processing Enhances Accuracy Every vortex flow meter is supplied with advanced filtering algorithms. These algorithms allow the meter to establish continuous real-time norms for signal strength and quality. Sudden changes to the anticipated strength or quality of the incoming signal is rejected as noise. Additional signal processing cancels out the effect of common mode noise. Common mode noise is the type of noise most often associated with vibration in the piping system.
Individually Calibrated and Programmed for Each Application Every vortex flow meter undergoes a multi-point calibration. In addition, each meter is individually programmed using application specific data supplied by the customer.
