The readings you want, right where you need them. Description Vortex multivariable meters employ three sensing elements in a single meter: a vortex shedding velocity sensor, an RTD temperature sensor, and a solid-state pressure transducer. Within this single instrument, you can measure the mass flow rates of gasses, liquids, and steam with far more accuracy than with external measurement techniques which may not adequately compensate for dynamic process conditions. With the flexibility to install in almost any location - including hot tapping - you can get precise measurements from nearly any location when you need it. Multivariable capability within this single housing can also simplify systems, reduce equipment cost, and ease installation and maintenance hassles. The wide variety of options and configurations available ensures that there is a meter for any application requirement. The AX Series of Vortex inline flowmeters measure flows of liquid, gas, and steam by measuring the rate at which vortices are alternately shed from a bluff body; this rate has been shown to be directly proportional to the flow velocity. As flow passes a bluff body in the stream, vortices create pressure differentials which are measured by a piezoelectric crystal sensor, which converts these pulses into electrical signals. The meter uses an all welded sensor design to create a strong unit and minimize potential leakage.
