An analysis of how to select vortex flowmeters under steam conditions — covering bore size, turndown ratio, temperature/pressure compensation and anti-vibration.
1. Bore Size and Turndown Ratio
For steam metering, avoid an oversized bore, which causes inaccuracy at low flow velocity. A turndown ratio of 8:1 is common, up to 40:1…
2. Temperature/Pressure Compensation
Superheated steam requires temperature/pressure compensation to convert to mass flow…
