FTV-1600S series standard Vortex flow meterIs based onCarmen(Karman) Vortex principle research and production measurementAverageGas, superheated steam, saturated steam, compressed airorLiquids Volumetric flowormass flow, The pressure loss is small,QuantityChenglarge, with high accuracy, in the measurement conditionVolumetric flowTimeAlmost independent of fluid density, pressure, temperature,The influence of other parameters. There are no moving mechanical parts, soHigh reliability and low maintenance. Instrument parameters remain stable long-term and can operate at -20°C to +350°COperating temperature rangeWork within. There is simulationStandard signal, there are also numbersPulseSignal output, easy to use with digital systems such as computers.
The basic principle of the FTV-1600S series standard 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.
■ Strong corrosion resistance: The flow meter is made of all stainless steel and a probe produced with an ABS mold, which can withstand the effects of corrosive media and has high durability.
■ Separation of sensor and medium: The detection sensor does not directly contact the measured medium, which can maintain the stable performance and long life of the sensor.
■ High-precision output: The output of the flow meter is a pulse signal proportional to the flow rate, with high precision and stable performance, without zero drift.
■ Low pressure loss and energy saving: The flow meter has small pressure loss, which reduces the energy consumption of the system and reduces operating costs.
■ Multifunctional measurement: This flow meter can measure the volume flow and mass flow of steam, gas and liquid, and is suitable for flow measurement of a variety of media.
■ Separate design: The amplifier and sensor can be separated, with a separation distance of up to 15 meters, which is convenient for installation and layout.
■ Anti-interference and anti-vibration performance: The use of interference elimination circuit and anti-vibration sensor head makes the instrument have certain anti-environmental vibration performance and improves the stability of measurement.
■ Wide measuring range: The flow meter has a wide measuring range, which can reach 10 to 40 times, and is suitable for applications in different flow ranges.
■ High-temperature measurement capability: It can measure medium temperatures up to +350°C, and is suitable for flow measurement under high-temperature conditions.
■ No mechanical moving parts: The flow meter has no mechanical moving parts, making it long-term stable, simple in 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 measured fluid. There is no drift in the zero point and the performance is very stable.
■ RS-485 and HART communication: Supports RS-485 communication and HART communication interface, which can realize integration and remote monitoring with factory automation system.
