1.2 Intended use
The vortex flowmeters are used for flow measurement of gases, vapours and liquids.
The devices are particularly suitable for the measurement of:
•
Clean liquids with low viscosity (< 10 cP)
•
Hydrocarbons with low viscosity (< 10 cP)
•
Water
•
Chemicals with low corrosiveness
•
Saturated steam
•
Superheated steam, including CIP (Cleaning in Place) and SIP (Sterilising in Place)
applications in the food industry
Note the following:
•
The flow sensors are made from stainless steel 1.4404 / 316L or Hastelloy
®
C-22.
•
In your project planning, please observe the data given in the corrosion tables.
•
The pressure-bearing parts have been designed and rated for stationary operation taking into
account the maximum pressure and temperature.
•
Observe the data indicated on the nameplate for PS (stated pressures), TS (stated
temperatures) and PT (test pressure).
•
External forces and moments, caused e.g. by pipe stresses, have not been taken into account.
Primarily, volumetric flow and temperature are measured, with pressure measurement as an
option. From these parameters the measuring device calculates the mass flow or standard
volumetric flow using pre-programmed density data and then exports the measured values via
various communication interfaces.
CAUTION!
Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to suitability, intended use and
corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the
operator.
INFORMATION!
This device is a Group 1, Class A device as specified within CISPR11. It is intended for use in
industrial environment. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility in other environments, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
INFORMATION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.
