Vortex Flow Meter
The Vortex flow meters is a market-leading process measurement device built for steam and gas applications. For saturated steam, superheated steam, and compensated gas flow measurement, multivariable vortex type flow meters with built-in temperature and pressure compensation are the best option. The flow meter is a great option for measuring water or condensate because of its ability to monitor low viscosity liquids and volumetric flow rate.

The Vortex Shedding flow meter uses the VFM45 transmitter technology, which provides with the excellent signal processing capability and enhances the vortex flow meter technology to a new level, which means it has lower measuring limit, better stability and accuracy. The special signal processing method has also ensured better anti-vibration by eliminating the vibration signals
VFM62 Insertion Vortex Flow Meter are measurement solution for large pipe line or duct from DN200~DN1000. The flow meter also utilizes the advanced dual sensor and special transmitter technology to provide low flow limit and best anti-vibration performance.
How a vortex flow meter working?
Vortex flow metre works on the vortex shedding theory, which states that when a fluid, such as water, flows through a bluff body, oscillating vortexes form, it will creates vortices shed alternately downstream of the object. The frequency at which vortexes are shed is directly proportional to the velocity of the fluid flowing through the bluff body, and frequency of these vortexes is converted into a digital signal by the meter’s electronics to calculate the flow of a fluid.
What doesn vortex flow meter measured?
Vortex flow meters has been hundreds history and utilize the high sensitive elements, unique process signal process technology which by obtain natural natural frequency of fluids, allows for high levels of sensitivity and high performance at low flow measurement. Vortex flow meters are a suitable technology for measuring steam, air and as a variety of liquids and gases. Vortex flowmeter offers many benefit in flow measurement applications, including simple installation and a wide turndown range. High Sensitivity. Built with the smallest strut in the industry, which allows for high levels of sensitivity and low pressure drop. Excellent Performance. Combines an internal RTD and pressure sensor to compensate for changes in pressure and temperature to achieve a accurate measurement results. Durable Structure. No moving parts, low pressure drop, reducing chance for malfunctions and improves performance in a range of industrial applications.
How to sizing a vortex meter?
Vortex flow meters are a direct type of volume flow-measuring device. Few points considering to sizing a vortex flow meter Turndown ration. ( the ratio of maximum flow rate to minimum flow rate). Most vortex meters between 1:10 or 1:15. Vortex flow meter turndown ratio also depends on the viscosity of the fluid measured. Measuring the flow of a high viscosity will have a lower turndown ratio. Low flow measurement also a important factor when sizing the vortex meter. Compensation method. The purpose of a vortex type flow meters with temperature and pressure compensation is for when the volume deviates the actual flow, density compensation will correct the result well, especially for air, gas and steam application. Measuring velocity. The steam velocity recomended as acceptable for steam distribution systems:
