Advantages of Vortex Flowmeters in Measuring Steam and Common Gases

Core Advantages: High Reliability and Extremely Low Maintenance
No moving parts – when measuring high-temperature steam or gases containing impurities, there is no component wear, ensuring extremely high long-term operational reliability.

Performance Advantages: Wide Turndown Ratio and Low Pressure Loss
Wide turndown ratio for handling large flow fluctuations: The turndown ratio of a vortex flowmeter typically reaches 10:1 or even 30:1. This is highly beneficial for common large flow fluctuations in steam or gas pipelines (e.g., changes in daynight consumption), eliminating the need to replace or adjust the range as required with differential pressure flowmeters.

Low pressure loss for significant energy savings: The permanent pressure loss of a vortex flowmeter is extremely small, usually only 1/5 to 1/3 of that of an orifice plate flowmeter. This effectively reduces the energy consumption of fans or boilers, directly translating into economic benefits.

Specialized Advantages: Unique Design for Steam Measurement
Suitable for hightemperature and highpressure conditions: By employing hightemperatureresistant piezoelectric sensors and heat dissipation structures, vortex flowmeters can be used for steam measurement at temperatures up to 400 °C or even higher.

Equipped with temperature and pressure compensation: To accurately measure the mass flow of steam, modern vortex flowmeters commonly incorporate builtin temperature sensors and can accept pressure signals. By compensating for changes in steam density in real time, they can directly output highprecision mass flow readings.

General Advantages: Suitable for a Wide Range of Common Gases
Vortex flowmeters perform well in measuring many common gases.
