VFM60 is a powerful flow meter utilizing “Karman vortex” theory, which can meet the requirement of measuring the flow rate of various fluids such as gas, steam and liquid. The product uses the VFM60 transmitter technology, which provides with the excellent signal processing capability and enhance the vortex metering technology to a new level, which means it has lower measuring limit, better stability and accuracy. The unique dual-sensor design and special signal processing method has also ensured a better anti-vibration by eliminating the vibration signals to provide more reliable performance and lower measurement limit.
- Sensor design that free from maintenance.
- Self-diagnose function, ensure easier trouble-shooting.
- Unique dual sensor technology excellent in anti-vibration.
- Self density calculation function is optional, can calculate density and mass flow rate without mass flow computer. Can output mass flow rate, temperature and pressure by working with separate RTD and pressure transmitter.
- Muti-variable version with built-in RTD and pressure sensor to measure standard/mass flow directly and display flow rate, temperature, pressure, mass flow rate and density as requires.
- Unit selectable function, meet different requirement from different area.
- Password can be set to protect setting model, easier for device management.
Features
- Extremely high sensitivity, minimum flow rate down to 2m/s
- 1:35 super wide turndown ratio
- Patent dual-sensor design and optimized signal processing technology to ensure best anti-vibration
- No moving parts, very small pressure loss
- Isolated design for electrical parts to eliminate interference
- Wide power source adaptability to fit in different applications
- 2 lines LCD display
