Vortex Flowmeters : Versatile Flow Measurement for Liquids, Gases, and Steam

Pioneer offers vortex flowmeters, providing a versatile and reliable solution for measuring the flow rate of liquids, gases, and steam in a wide range of industrial applications. Vortex meters offer good accuracy, wide turndown ratios, and minimal maintenance.

Advantages of Vortex Flowmeters

  • Versatility : Can measure liquids, gases, and steam.
  • Wide Turndown Ratio : Can accurately measure flow over a wide range of flow rates (typically 10:1 or better).
  • No Moving Parts : (Except for the sensor, which typically has minimal movement) This reduces maintenance and increases reliability.
  • Relatively Low Pressure Drop : Compared to some other flowmeter technologies.
  • Good Accuracy : Typically ±1% of reading or better.
  • Insensitive to Changes in Density, Pressure, and Temperature: (Within the specified operating range)

Applications

  • Steam Flow Measurement : A common application for vortex meters, especially in power generation and industrial processes.
  • Natural Gas Flow Measurement : Measuring gas flow in pipelines and distribution systems.
  • Compressed Air Flow Measurement : Monitoring air consumption in industrial facilities.
  • Water Flow Measurement : Suitable for clean water applications.
  • Chemical Processing : Measuring flow of various liquids and gases.
  • HVAC/R : Measuring airflow in ducts and refrigerant flow.
  • Cryogenic Flow Measurement

Key Considerations

  • Reynolds Number : Vortex shedding is most reliable above a certain Reynolds number (typically > 10,000).
  • Straight Pipe Run : Adequate straight pipe runs upstream and downstream of the meter are required for accurate measurement.
  • Fluid Compatibility : Ensure the meter materials are compatible with the fluid being measured.
  • Vibration : Excessive vibration can affect the accuracy of the meter.
