Vortex
Flowmeter optimized for requirements of high-pressure mating pipes.
Better process control – integrated temperature and pressure measurement for steam and gases.
The specialist for applications with high process pressure.
Increased mechanical integrity for flow measurement – special sensor design. Same accuracy down to Re 10 000 – most linear Vortex meter body. Long-term stability – robust drift-free capacitive sensor.
Saturated steam mass flow up to PN 250 (Class 1500). Full compliance with NACE (MR0175/MR0103). Flexible positioning of pressure cell.
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).
