What are the advantages of vortex flowmeter
The vortex flowmeter is a new type of flowmeter developed based on the Karman vortex principle. It is mainly used for flow measurement of industrial pipeline media fluids, such as gases, liquids, vapors, and other media. Vortex flowmeter has many advantages, and the following is a detailed summary of its advantages:
Wide measurement range and high accuracy: The vortex flowmeter has a large range, with a range ratio of up to 1:10, and is almost unaffected by parameters such as fluid density, pressure, temperature, viscosity, etc. when measuring the volumetric flow rate under working conditions, thus ensuring high-precision measurement results.
Small pressure loss and low operating costs: Vortex flowmeters generate less pressure loss during the measurement process, which helps to reduce the operating costs of the system and is also more energy-efficient.
Simple and sturdy structure, high reliability: The structural design of the vortex flowmeter is simple and sturdy, with no movable parts, making it highly reliable for long-term operation. This structural feature also reduces maintenance workload and lowers maintenance costs.
Easy maintenance and low installation cost: The installation of vortex flowmeter is relatively simple and maintenance is also very convenient, which further reduces the cost of use.
Stable sensor performance and long service life: The sensor of the vortex flowmeter does not directly contact the measured medium, so the performance is stable and the service life is long. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs caused by sensor damage.
Stable output signal, convenient for computer networking: The pulse signal output by the vortex flowmeter is proportional to the flow rate, with no zero drift and high accuracy. At the same time, it also supports the output of analog standard signals and digital pulse signals, making it easy to be used in conjunction with digital systems such as computers to achieve automated control.
Strong adaptability: Vortex flowmeter can be used to measure the flow rate of various media such as gas, liquid, steam, etc., and can work in a wide temperature range (-20 ℃~+250 ℃), demonstrating strong adaptability.
Long calibration cycle: The calibration cycle of vortex flowmeters is relatively long, usually 2-4 years, which reduces the number of calibrations and corresponding costs.
In summary, vortex flowmeter has been widely used in the field of industrial flow measurement due to its wide measurement range, high accuracy, small pressure loss, simple and sturdy structure, easy maintenance, stable sensor performance, stable output signal, and strong adaptability. It is expected to become the leading product in the future flow instrument market.
