VortexMaster FSV430

VortexMaster FSV430 is the basic meter for volume flow applications. It uses a two-wire transmitter with leading edge DSP-Technology with excellent vibration compensation and enables user friendly intuitive operation directly through the glass. It is available in flange-mount and wafer-type designs.

VortexMaster flow meters can be used for accurate measurement of the flow of gases, liquids and steam over a wide range of temperatures. Vortex meters are ideal for use on petrochemical raw materials, demineralized water and for direct, cost- effective steam mass flow by employing integral temperature measurement.

VortexMaster FSV430 is the standard design with optional digital outputs, graphical display and excellent vibration immunity for a wide field of applications. Available with integral or remote transmitter with up to 30m (98 ft.) signal cable.

VortexMaster FSV450

VortexMaster FSV450 is the universal vortex meter for high end flow applications. It uses a two-wire transmitter with leading edge DSP-Technology with enhanced flow computer functionality. Signals from remote sensors like pressure, temperature, density or gas content can be computed directly with the signals from internal flow and temperature. Ideal for direct mass flow or standard flow of gases and liquids or direct mass and energy flow on saturated and overheated steam.

VortexMaster flow meters are used for accurate measurement of the flow of gas, liquid and steam over a wide temperature range. Vortex meters are ideal for measuring petrochemical raw materials, demineralized water and direct steam mass flow, cost-effectively by employing integral temperature measurement.

The VortexMaster FSV450 is the advanced version with additional analog input for mass or energy flow measurement. Available with integral or remote transmitter with up to 30 m (98 ft.) cable length. Using optional inputs discrete flow computers are not longer needed in many applications.

F-2600 Series Vortex Flow Meters

F-2600 Series Vortex Flow Meters are designed for accurate, cost effective mass flow measurement of saturated steam. The standard loop powered version of the vortex flow meter is equipped with the internal temperature compensation required for direct mass flow measurement. Each F-2600 Vortex Flow Meter is provided with a 4-20mA analog output for flow rate, a pulse output for totalization and a built-in user interface and display. The standard loop powered meter also includes HART. Optional versions are available with internal pressure compensation, multiple analog outputs and BACnet or MODBUS serial communications.

F-2700 Series Insertion Vortex Flow Meters

F-2700 Series Insertion Vortex Flow Meters deliver accurate mass flow measurement without the need for an external flow computer. They can be a great choice for steam and medium or high temperature hot water flow.

In the right applications, insertion style vortex meters provide a very reliable and cost effective solution for mass flow measurement. They are often the best choice for flow measurement in larger diameter pipes where the expected process flow rates are within the operating range of the meter.

The standard loop powered version of the vortex flow meter is equipped with the internal temperature compensation required for direct mass flow measurement of saturated steam. Each F-2700 Vortex Flow Meter is provided with a 4-20mA analog output for flow rate, a pulse output for totalization and a built-in user interface and display. The standard loop powered meter also includes HART. Optional versions are available with internal pressure compensation, multiple analog outputs and BACnet or MODBUS serial communications.
