VORTEX FLOWMETER

MODEL: VFM-110

VFM-110
Vortex Flowmeter is an industrial flowmeter that measures the flow rate of liquids, gases, or steam by detecting vortices shed from a bluff body placed in the flow path. As fluid passes this obstruction, alternating vortices are formed downstream at a frequency proportional to the velocity of the flow, a phenomenon known as the Von Kármán vortex street. this vortex shedding frequency is detected by sensors—commonly piezoelectric, capacitive, or ultrasonic—that convert the pressure oscillations into electrical pulses, which are then processed by electronics to provide a flow reading.

Because the frequency of vortex formation depends only on the flow velocity and the geometry of the shedder bar, vortex flowmeters deliver highly accurate and repeatable measurements that are largely unaffected by changes in fluid density, viscosity, temperature, or pressure.

They can measure a wide variety of fluids, including liquids, gases, and steam, over a broad flow range with minimal straight pipe run requirements, making them versatile across industries such as petrochemical plants, Oil & gas field, Steam generations, compressed air systems, power generation and food processing.

Their rugged design allows them to withstand harsh operating conditions—including high temperature steam up to several hundred degrees Celsius and pressures exceeding hundreds of bar—without moving parts, which reduces wear and maintenance compared to mechanical meters. VFM-110 vortex flowmeters are built with advanced features like digital signal processing, built-in temperature and pressure compensation for direct mass flow measurement, and communication protocols such as HART, Modbus, or FOUNDATION Fieldbus for seamless integration into process automation systems.
