How should I select a steam flow meter?

Project Overview

The temperature of steam is usually between ℃ and the pressure is generally 1.6Mpa-6.4Mpa. This has determined the three elements of the flow meter's working conditions, and the next selection problem is very simple.

Commonly used flow meters for steam include differential pressure flow meters, vortex flow meters, turbine flow meters, etc. Among them, the differential pressure flowmeter has the highest accuracy level. For example, the V-cone flowmeter with the highest accuracy among differential pressure flowmeters reaches 0.5%.

If the diameter of the on-site pipeline is small, the vortex flowmeter is a cost-effective choice. Especially among the common diameters of DN25-DN300, vortex flowmeters are the most widely used for measuring steam flow.

So to choose a suitable flowmeter model for measuring steam flow, the key is the working environment and price budget.
