Product headline
Flowmeter with best-in-class accuracy despite pipe reduction.
Easy energy management – integrated temperature and pressure measurement for steam and gases.
Dedicated to applications with very low flow or reduced flow. -
Sensor features
Cost and time savings – no pipework modifications needed for line size reduction. Same accuracy down to Re 10 000 – most linear Vortex meter body. Long-term stability – robust drift-free capacitive sensor. Integrated diameter reduction by 1 or 2 line sizes. Nominal diameter (mating pipe) up to DN 250 (10″).
