Selection of steam flow meters
Thread Content
I’m seeking advice from experts: What type of flow meter should be used to measure steam flow at different pipe diameters? What are the advantages of choosing this option?
When used in conjunction with a flow orifice plate, differential pressure transmitters offer the advantage of easy maintenance later on; the orifice plate maintains stable performance, and for maintenance tasks, it is only necessary to calibrate the transmitter
The swirl vortex flowmeter has built-in temperature and pressure compensation; for periodic calibration, it must be sent to a calibration institution
Typically, for such projects, what’s required is a orifice plate combined with a differential pressure flow transmitter – it’s cost-effective. Moreover, for steam flow measurement, the requirements for accurate accounting in material transactions aren’t very high, so there’s no need for any specialized flow meters
Orifice plates + differential pressure flow meters are simply not accurate. I have already changed the vortex street here.
Would using vortex flow meters for DN400 result in high costs?

Vortex flowmeters with rotational inlet have requirements regarding the temperature of the medium; can they be used to measure steam?
Vortex street bar. Orifice plates are quite troublesome in winter.
Aoniuba +3095 is relatively expensive. And it gets clogged easily. It is still recommended to use a orifice plate + 3095, as it is cost-effective and easy to maintain. Just add heat tracing.
