Flowmeter Features Built-In Computer

May 29, 2012
Fully welded, no-gasket design allows steam measurements to be taken safely.
Spirax Sarco has unveiled its new VLM10 inline vortex flowmeter for mass, volumetric, and energy flow measurement on steam, liquid, and gas applications in sizes from 1 to 12 inches. The VLM10 combines an inline vortex meter, a built-in flow computer and integral temperature sensor.
The VLM10 is designed to be precise and reliable, with a steam or gas mass flow accuracy of ±1.5% of range over a wide 20:1 flow range. The fully welded, no-gasket design allows steam measurements to be taken safely and enables the sensors and RTD to be removed without having to shut down the line first. 
The built-in web server enables customers to monitor flow and meter health through the internet. Digital communications delivers information on demand using Modbus RTU, BACnet MS/TP and Modbus TCP/IP technology with standard analog and pulse outputs. The VLM10 is available in a wide range of connections and pressure ranges.
