Vortex
Cost-effective wafer flowmeter, available as compact or remote version.
Integrated temperature measurement for mass/energy flow of saturated steam.
For all basic applications and for 1-to-1 replacement of orifice plates.
Easy alignment of the sensor – included centering rings. High availability – proven robustness, resistance to vibrations, temperature shocks & water hammer. Long-term stability – robust drift-free capacitive sensor.
Face-to-face length of 65 mm (2.56 in). No flanges. Low weight.
Convenient device wiring – separate connection compartment. Safe operation – no need to open the device due to display with touch control, background lighting. Integrated verification – Heartbeat Technology.
Display module with data transfer function. Robust dual-compartment housing. Plant safety: worldwide approvals (SIL, Haz. area).
