Flow Measurement & Control


Low cost flowmeter is suited to steam service

November 2007 Flow Measurement & Control

The VFM3000 digital vortex flowmeter is a simple, cost effective way to measure flow rates of steam, liquids and industrial gases. This flowmeter is well-suited for steam use where low cost is of primary importance. Little or no maintenance is required, promising trouble-free operation over many years.

Features of the VFM3000 include:

* No moving parts.

* Wetted parts of 316L stainless steel and titanium.

* High temperature seals.

* 240°C maximum temperature.

* High measuring accuracy.

* Integrated volumetric/mass flow totaliser.

* Simple programming and user-friendly interface.

* Built-in self-diagnostics.

* Current and frequency output.

* Digital signal converter (microprocessor).

* Maintenance free.

* Available for DN25-DN100.

* 65 mm overall length for the wafer type.

A hazardous duty version is also available.
