Description
1. Introduction to Precession Vortex Flow Meter MT-F110VT
The Precession Vortex Flow Meter MT-F110VT is a highly reliable and advanced flow measuring device designed for accurate volumetric flow measurement of liquids and gases. It combines long-term stability, low maintenance requirements, and intelligent signal processing technology, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
This flow meter is designed to handle harsh environments, including fluctuating pressure and temperature conditions, while providing precise measurements. Its robust construction ensures durability, and its ability to rotate 360 degrees allows flexible installation in any pipeline orientation.
2. Working Principle
The MT-F110VT operates based on the vortex shedding principle. As the fluid flows past a bluff body (obstruction) in the flow meter, it generates vortices alternately on each side of the body. These vortices create pressure fluctuations, which are detected by highly sensitive sensors. The frequency of these vortices is directly proportional to the volumetric flow rate of the medium.
The flow meter integrates intelligent electronics to compensate for fluctuations caused by pressure, vibration, or temperature variations, ensuring highly accurate readings. The total volume, flow rate, and other parameters can be displayed directly under standard operating conditions.
