There are many types of flow meters that can measure steam, such as vortex flow meters, various differential pressure flow meters, bend flow meters, splitter rotor flow meters, etc.

When the diameter is below DN350 and the temperature is below 350 ℃, we recommend using a vortex flowmeter as a priority. Compared with other flowmeters that can measure steam, vortex flowmeters have the following advantages:characteristic：

Measurement accuracy of 1.5 level, preferably 1.0 level;

The range reaches 1:10, and the extended range is 1:20;

The working temperature is high, and the medium temperature can reach 350 ℃;

No moving parts, no wear and tear, high reliability;

Low pressure loss, conducive to the operation of the system;

The body structure is simple and easy to install;

Modular production with strong interchangeability of components;

No need for sewage discharge or heat tracing, with few leakage points and easy maintenance;

Output pulse signals proportional to flow rate, without zero drift;

The output frequency is independent of the medium density and viscosity parameters;

The body is made of stainless steel material, which is beautiful and corrosion-resistant.

It is recommended to use a 5-piece vortex flowmeter with temperature and pressure compensation as a priority. The principle and selection of vortex flowmeters can be found in the specialized sections of this website.

In practical use, some users also require the use of vortex flowmeters with integrated temperature and pressure compensation. Generally, when the diameter is below DN100 and the temperature is below 200 ℃, it can be considered; It is not suitable for use in other situations.

Some customers originally used the LFX series splitter rotor steam flow meter. If they want to replace the flow meter, they can choose an intelligent steam flow meter with integrated temperature and pressure compensation or an intelligent steam flow meter without compensation (the body length of the above two flow meters is the same as that of the LFX series); Alternatively, a card mounted integrated vortex flowmeter with or without compensation can be selected; It's okay, just choose a vortex flowmeter with temperature and pressure compensation/steam tableIt is the optimal choice for all alternative options.
