Vortex Flow Meter
A Vortex Flow Meter is an industrial instrument that measures the velocity and volumetric flow rate of liquids, gases, and steam inside a pipeline.
Core Features
Von Kármán Effect: Operates by placing a non-streamlined obstruction (shedder bar) into the fluid stream, which generates alternating fluid swirls known as vortices.
Proportional Frequency: Uses internal sensors to count the frequency of these vortices, which is directly proportional to the speed of the passing fluid.
High Durability: Features a robust design with no moving mechanical parts, minimizing wear and ensuring long-term reliability under harsh conditions.
Typical Applications
Steam Flow Measurement: Extensively used for measuring saturated and superheated steam lines in power generation and district heating systems.
Gas Consumption Tracking: Monitoring compressed air, natural gas, or nitrogen delivery in industrial production plants.
Water and Clean Fluids: Measuring low-viscosity liquids where high accuracy and minimal pressure drop are required.
