The cost of full bore flowmeters increases exponentially with pipe size. Since one insertion flowmeter is compatible with ail pipe sizes up to 80", you can save up to 80% for 24" Unes and 50% for 10" Unes. Insertion flowmeters place only a very small sensor within the pipe, reducing energy costs associated with pressure loss - typically 10 times less than an orifice plate. Reduced Installation Cost Insertion flowmeters can be installed quickly and easily, reducing costs. The "hot tap capability" allows the V-Bar to be installed and serviced without process shutdown, a feature that not only saves on labor costs, but also avoids disruption of critical processes. How Insertion Meters Measure Flow Insertion vortex flowmeters measure liquid, gas, and steam, utilizing a "no moving parts sensor" to detect the local velocity at a strategically located position within a pipe. The V-Bar insertion vortex shedding flowmeter detects the frequency at which vortices are alternately shed from a bluff body located within the sensor head. The local velocity is calculated by using a linear relationship between the sensor input frequency and velocity, developed during calibration. The flowmeter uses the local velocity along with other parameters such as pipe size, fluid type, and Reynolds number, to calculate the average pipe velocity, and consequently, the average flow rate. In order to guarantee accurate measurement and verifiable performance, thèse algorithms have been developed from many years of empirical research using independent test laboratories as well as NIST-traceable flow standards.
