Vortex flow meter

In the fast-paced world of industrial automation, accurate flow measurement is critical. Broil Sensotek Industries has positioned itself at the forefront of innovation with its advanced Intelligent Vortex Flowmeter. Designed based on the Karman Vortex Street principle, specifically for low viscosity liquid, air and steam applications, the IBR (Indian Boiler Regulation) approved steam flowmeter technology promises not only accuracy, but also durability and flexibility.

Main features and benefits

The Broil Vortex Flow Meter is designed to provide exceptional performance with pressure and temperature compensation. This feature ensures that varying operating conditions do not compromise flow rate accuracy. Additionally, users can benefit from integrated or remote display options, providing versatility in data presentation.

Comprehensive Outputs, Data Display and Construction Materials

Intelligent technology integration sets the Broil Vortex Flow Meter apart. It features multiple output options, including HART, RS485, pulse and 4 to 20 mA outputs. This adaptability allows for seamless integration into existing systems. The display prominently displays nominal volume and mass flow data, providing operators with critical information to optimize processes.

Broil Sensotek Industries consistently delivers on the promise of high-quality, intelligent measurement solutions. With the Broil Vortex Flow Meter, companies can expect a significant reduction in measurement errors and increased process efficiency, which are vital to maintaining a competitive edge with high accuracy.

Vortex Flow Meter Operating Principle

The operating principle of the vortex flow meter revolves around the Karman vortex phenomenon. When fluid flows over a beveled body, it generates alternating vortices on both sides, resulting in a phenomenon called a Karman vortex. The rate at which these vortices disperse is directly proportional to the flow rate of the fluid. By detecting these vortices, Broil meters accurately calculate flow rates with or without pressure and temperature compensation, without the need for moving parts, thus without wear, making them reliable in a variety of conditions.

Design

Nylon or PTFE Coated

Sensotek Industries’ PTFE or nylon beveled body vortex flow meters are designed for high-performance applications, especially in corrosive environments such as phenolic vapor and corrosive gases. PTFE or nylon is known for its excellent chemical resistance and temperature tolerance. This makes PTFE meters ideal for industries such as pharmaceutical and chemical, where aggressive materials are common. Their accuracy and reliability help maintain efficient operations.

Vortex Flow Meter Application

A Karman Street flow meter is an advanced instrument used to measure the flow of steam, low viscosity liquids, air and gases. Its integration with digital displays, with and without process compensation, provides real-time monitoring and data recording, which is beneficial in many industries.

In industries such as power generation, chemical, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, accurate measurement of steam is critical. Steam vortex flow meters are often used in these settings due to their ability to handle the high temperatures and pressures typical of steam systems. With the inherent ability to measure both flow and total flow, vortex meters excel in environments where accuracy is critical.

Low viscosity liquids, air and gases represent a breakthrough in accuracy and reliability. By choosing the right vortex flow meter for your specific needs, you can ensure smooth and efficient operation. They are widely used in the food and beverage, HVAC, chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries.

The application of vortex flow meters with PTFE and nylon lined bodies enables precise monitoring of various fluids including aggressive chemicals, corrosive gases, phenolic vapor, and sensitive pharmaceuticals. These flow meters can handle a wide range of temperatures and pressures, making them versatile instruments for numerous applications.

Conclusion

Vortex flow meters are increasingly becoming the preferred choice in various industries due to their reliability and accuracy in measuring steam, air, gases, and low viscosity liquids. Understanding their application in the oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and boiler industries is essential to maximize operational efficiency and maintain quality control. Investing in quality flow measurement instruments is essential for any industry that aims to improve the effectiveness of their processes.
