Vortex Flowmeter

Already the basic version of theVortex Flowmeter is equipped with a temperature compensation for saturated steam applications. With the optional pressure sensor the Vortex Flowmeter has an integrated density compensation available, which even allows an exact measurement of gases and superheated steam with varying process conditions. The additional integrated gross and net heat measurement makes the Vortex Flowmeter to be a reliable partner for advanced energy management systems. The Vortex Flowmeter was designed for the safety-related applications from the very beginning. It was developed according to the standard IEC 61508 edition 2. The certification is effected within the scope of a Full Assessment by TÜV Süd. Thereby the Vortex Flowmeter can be used for continuous volume flow measurement in safety-related applications with classification SIL2.
