A Vortex Flow Meter is a highly reliable and versatile flow measurement instrument used to measure the flow rate of liquids, gases, and steam in industrial processes. It operates on the vortex shedding principle, where a bluff body placed in the flow stream creates alternating vortices. The frequency of these vortices is directly proportional to the fluid velocity, enabling accurate flow measurement.
Vortex Flow Meters are widely used across industries such as oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, HVAC, and water treatment. Their robust design, absence of moving parts, and ability to handle a wide range of process conditions make them an ideal choice for demanding applications.
Engineered for precision and long-term stability, Vortex Flow Meters provide accurate measurement of volumetric flow, mass flow, and energy consumption, especially in steam and utility applications.
