Vortex meters are one of the few flow measuring technologies that can measure all three phases of a fluid; gas, liquid and steam. This technology provides a cost-effective, reliable, low maintenance solution for many flow measurement applications. It has no moving parts, therefore no routine maintenance or cleaning is required. The vortex flowmeter can measure also measure wet and/or dirty gases. Vortex flow sensing technology relies on measuring the number of vortex pulses generated by a bluff body immersed in the flow stream. A bluff body is machined inside the vortex flow meter; as flow pass through this bluff body, vortices are generated in either side of the bluff body. The flow rate can be determined by measuring the number of vortices.

The design of SmartmeasurementTM‘ s ALVT vortex flowmeter allows for extremely wide turndowns while maintaining an almost unlimited upper end as well as a high pressure rating. The ALVT can be configured in inline styles with both NPT and flanged connections or as an insertion meter with optional hot-tapped ball valve mounting for installation and/or removal of the instrument without shutting down the process. Our ALVT-MASS multivariable vortex flow meter incorporates an RTD temperature sensor and a solid state pressure transducer that allows the mass flow rate of steam, gases and liquids to be measured and displayed directly on the meter’s display. Please see the Vortex flowmeter matrix below to view all available options.
Vortex flow meters are flow sensors that detect the frequency of vortices shed by a bluff body placed in a flow stream. The frequency of the vortices is proportional to the flow velocity. Search by Specification | Learn More about Vortex Flow Meters

Vortex meters are used in numerous branches of industry to measure the volume flow of liquids, gases and steam. Applications in the chemicals and petrochemicals industries, for example, in power generation and heat-supply systems involve widely differing fluids: saturated steam, superheated steam, compressed air, nitrogen, liquefied gases, flue gases, carbon dioxide, fully demineralized water, solvents, heattransfer oils, boiler feedwater, condensate, etc.
Vortex meters are particularly popular in all sectors of industry for metering steam. Vortex meters measure volume flow, but steam systems are generally rated by mass or energy content, so these meters are frequently used in combination with a pressure and/or temperature sensor and a flow computer. A configuration of this nature helps save energy and is ideal for allocating the costs of generation across multiple consumers.
