What other flow meters are good for measuring steam?
Thread Content
Besides orifice plates and vortex flow meters, are there any other good options? The domestic vortex flow meters are really of poor quality. Does anyone know of any better domestic options? Has anyone used those produced by Shanghai Yino? What about Kent?

Our unit uses EMERSON’s. . 0.5% accuracy. It feels good.
Vortex street, AK; it seems that the vortex street option is preferable, as a long-lasting AK would be the best choice
Overheated steam is measured with a differential pressure instrument, while saturated steam at 270 degrees is measured using a vortex flow meter
Saturated steam at 270 degrees can be measured using vortex flowmeters or thermal mass flowmeters: Our company uses KURZ thermal mass flowmeters imported from the United States. Their features include: 1. Easy installation and simple maintenance; two-way detection and vibration resistance. 2. Flow measurement at up to 8 points. 3. Analog output with correction via multi-point nonlinear curve adjustment. 4. Wide range ratio of 100:1. 5. Simultaneous measurement of flow and temperature, with switchable display. 6. Suitable for measuring low flows in large diameters, and can be used for leak detection. 7. The sensor is encapsulated using proprietary “dual-balanced structure” technology. 8. Proprietary algorithms for high humidity and high temperatures; the medium temperature can reach 500°C. 9. Direct mass flow measurement, without the need for temperature or pressure compensation
