V-Master Vortex Flowmeter
ABB introduces the V-master vortex-shedding flowmeter, which is able to measure liquid, gas, and steam and is suited for applications
ABB Instrumentation Inc.roduces the V-Master vortex-shedding flowmeter, which is able to measure liquid, gas, and steam and is suited for applications in the chemical, energy, and process industries. The flowmeter measures process flow by detecting the frequency at which vortices are alternatively shed from a bluff body within the unit. The vortices create a differential force across a sensor wing, flexing it at a frequency proportional to the flow rate. To ensure maximum safety, the flowmeter features fully welded construction in the shedder bar and sensor area. This type of construction makes the unit as strong and safe as a standard pipe of the same wall thickness. It also has no internal gaskets that could fill and lead to hazardous leaks.
The flowmeter has a piezoelectric crystal sensor outside the pipe. This makes it possible to replace the sensor without shutting down the process or risking exposure to hazardous fluids or gasses. The V-Master flowmeter has a number has a number of enhancements that make it one of the highest-performance flowmeters in the industry. Using microprocessor technology, an advanced digital filter applies the laws of fluid mechanics to eliminate noise caused by vibration. The unit's digital readout shows values, settings, and errors in an 8-character by-2-line alphanumeric display.
