Vortex
Versatile flowmeter with detection of wet steam conditions and best-in-class accuracy.
Easy energy management – integrated temperature and pressure measurement for steam and gases.
Suitable for a wide range of applications; optimized for steam applications.
Space-saving engineering – inlet run compensation. Same accuracy down to Re 10 000 – most linear Vortex meter body. Long-term stability – robust drift-free capacitive sensor.
Wet steam capabilities for DN 25 to 300 (1 to 12"). Flexible positioning of pressure cell. Industrial siphon design for pressure measurement.
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).
