Vortex Flow Meter
Vortex flow meters offer many advantages for flow measurement including easy installation without impulse lines, no moving parts to maintain or repair, less leak potential, and a wide flow turndown range. Vortex meters also offer very low power consumption, allowing for use in remote areas.
Additionally, Vortex meters are unique in that they can accommodate liquids, gasses, steam, and corrosive applications. Vortex flow meters are also able to withstand high process pressures and temperatures.
Susan manufactures all type of vortex flow meter which includes standard type vortex flow meter, Temperature & Pressure Compensation Vortex Flow Meter, Remote type vortex flow meter.
The vortex flow meter body is robust and universally applicable for liquids, gases, and steam, optimized for steam applications. For gas measurement, if the gas temperature and pressure change a lot, pressure and temperature compensation will be a must, a vortex flow meter could add temperature and pressure compensation.
Susan Vortex flow meter adopts shedder bar technology and design. To protect the sensor, Susan’s vortex flow meter chooses an embedded sensor, with 4 piezo-electric crystals encapsulated inside the sensor.
Requires very little power consumption: 24 VDC, 15 Watts maximum; in gas measurement, vortex flow meter could achieve high accuracy ±0.75%~±1.0% of reading (gas ±1.0%, liquid ±0.75%); which could use in custody transfer, while the metal tube rotameter or orifice plate usually use for process control. A variety of signal outputs and selections, such as 4-20mA, pulse with HART, or pulse with RS485 are selectable.
In the electronic device for measuring flow, the vortex flow meter is the only one that could resist a wide temperature range up to the highest temperature 350℃, and the digital flow meter highest process temperature.
Standard type vortex flow meter:
The vortex flow meter is professional in measuring non-conductive liquids, gases, and saturated and superheated steam, especially for steam measurement trade settlement. Except for working as a flow meter, the vortex flow meter can also work as a heat meter to measure the Gross/net heat of the steam and hot water. Vortex flow meters usually monitor the compressor output and evaluation of Free Air Delivery (FAD) There have lots of Industrial gases, such as natural gas, nitrogen gas, liquefied gases, flue gases, and carbon dioxide, etc, and all could use vortex meters meter. In many factories, compressed air monitoring is very important, vortex flow meters also could use for process control.

Temperature & Pressure compensation type vortex flow meter:
Vortex flow meter with temperature and pressure compensation is used in numerous branches of industry to measure the volume flow of liquids, gases and steam. Applications in the chemicals and petrochemicals industries, for example, in power generation and heat-supply systems involve widely differing fluids: saturated steam, superheated steam, compressed air, nitrogen, liquefied gases, flue gases, carbon dioxide, fully demineralized water, solvents, heat-transfer oils, boiler feed water, condensate, etc.
