Vortex Meter Series VTX 2

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The document provides technical specifications and features of the Vortex Meter Series VTX, designed for measuring liquids, gases, and steam. It highlights the meter's robust design, excellent metrological characteristics, and insensitivity to vibrations, pulsations, pressure pushes, and temperature shocks.

Specifications
  • Accuracy: Gas/steam measurements have an accuracy of ±0.9% and liquids ±0.6% of the measured value.
  • Temperature Range: Standard operating temperatures range from -40°C to +270°C, with special designs accommodating -200°C to +450°C.
  • Process Connection: Available in sandwich and flange versions, with nominal sizes from DN 15 to 300, and pressure ratings up to PN 100 on request.
  • Electrical Connection: Power supply of 14-30 VDC, utilizing 2-wire technology with 4-20 mA output, HART, or NAMUR pulses.
  • Materials: Bluff body and housing made of 1.4404 stainless steel, with gaskets available in Viton and Graphite.
  • Safety and Compliance: Complies with ATEX 100a and EMV-guideline 89/336/EWG, among others.

Measuring Principle
The Vortex Meter operates by inducing vortices through a trapezoidal bluff body, with the frequency of vortices proportional to flow velocity. This frequency is independent of pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity, allowing for precise measurements.

Technical Data
  • Flow Ranges: Detailed flow ranges for different nominal sizes (DN) are provided for both gas/steam and liquids.
  • Main Dimensions: Dimensions for both sandwich and flange versions are specified.

Benefits
  • High reliability and rugged design with a piezoelectric sensor.
  • No recalibration needed when changing sensors.
  • Modern electronics with auto-adaptive digital signal processing and HART protocol.
  • Built-in display and user-friendly software for easy configuration and service.

The vortices, detachinq reciprocally from the bluff body, enqender local chanqes in velocity and pressure, which are detected by a sensor and converted to a sqnal (4-20mA or NAMUR pulses) by a transmitter, equipped with an auto-adaptive and microprocessor-driven siqnal processinq. When a fluid (liquid, qas or steam) meets an obstructive body with a certain minimum flow velocity the fluid can only follow the contour of this body up to a particular point, after which it curls up to form a vortex. This happens in turn on either side of the bluff body. The vortices (eddies) travel downstream, for-minq the KĢrmn Vortex Street". The Vortex meter series VTX is equipped with a trapezoidal bluff body which induces a precise detachment of the vortices with hiqh repeatability. Liquids, qases and steam can be measured equally well.
