FTV-1600C Series
Wafer Vortex Flow Meter

The basic principle of the FTV-1600C series clamp-on Vortex flow meter is the Karman Vortex phenomenon. When the medium flows through the triangular prism-shaped Vortex generator at a certain speed, two rows of alternating vortices are formed on both sides of it. This kind of Vortex is called Karman Vortex street. Based on the Karman Vortex theory, Strouhal proposed that the frequency of Karman Vortex is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid.

■ Corrosion-resistant all-stainless construction, ABS injection-molded probe, simple structure

■ The detection sensor does not directly contact the measured medium, has stable performance and long life.

■ The output is a pulse signal proportional to the flow rate, with no zero drift and high accuracy.

■ The pressure loss is small, the operating cost is low, and it is more energy-saving.

■ It can measure the volume flow and mass flow of steam, gas and liquid.

■ The amplifier and sensor can be separated (separation distance 15m).

■ The use of interference elimination circuit and anti-vibration sensing head makes the instrument have certain resistance to environmental vibration.

■ Small pressure loss, wide measuring range, 10-40 times the range

■ Measurable medium temperature up to +350°C 

■ No mechanical moving parts, long-term stability, simple structure and easy to install and maintain.

■ The sensor output is a pulse frequency, and its frequency is linear with the actual flow rate of the fluid being measured. There is no drift in the zero point and the performance is very stable.

■ Using RS-485 communication or HART communication, factory automation and integration can be realized
