1.1 Intended use
The vortex flowmeters are made to measure the flow of gases, vapours and liquids.
The devices are particularly suitable for the measurement of:
•Clean liquids with low viscosity (< 10 cP)
•Hydrocarbons with low viscosity (< 10 cP)
•Water
•Chemicals with low corrosiveness
•Saturated steam
•Superheated steam, including CIP and SIP applications in the food industry
•Industrial gases
The devices are rated for the following flow velocities:
•Liquids: 0.3...7 m/s / 1.0...23 ft/s
•Gases and steam: 2.0...80 m/s / 6.6...262 ft/s
DN15: 3.0...45 m/s / 9.8...148 ft/s; DN25: 2.0...70 m/s / 6.6...230 ft/s
•The sensors are made from stainless steel 316 L (1.4404) or Hastelloy
®
C22.
•In your project planning, please observe the data given in the corrosion tables.
•The pressure-bearing parts have been designed and rated for stationary operation taking into
account the maximum pressure and temperature.
•Observe the data indicated on the nameplate for PS, TS and PT (PED 97/23/EC).
•External forces and moments, caused e.g. by pipe stresses, have not been taken into account.
Primarily, volumetric flow and temperature are measured, with pressure measurement as an
option. From these parameters the measuring device calculates the mass flow or standard
volumetric flow using pre-programmed density data and then exports the measured values via
various communication interfaces.
CAUTION!
Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to suitability, intended use and
corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the
operator.
INFORMATION!
This device is a Group 1, Class A device as specified within CISPR11:2009. It is intended for use in
industrial environment. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility in other environments, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
INFORMATION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.
CAUTION!
If the danger of waterhammers can occur in steam networks appropriate condensate separators
have to be installed.
Suitable measures must be taken to avoid water cavitation if it is a possible risk.

2.2.3 Devices for dual measurement and twofold reliability
2.2.4 Device version remote
With the remote variant, the measuring sensor and signal converters are located separately. The
10-pin, shielded connection cable may not exceed 15m in length.
The marking of the devices is shown on the nameplates below (see also description code). On
both the compact devices and the remote versions, the main plate is located on the converter
housing. On the remote versions there is an additional marking on the measuring sensor.
This is a genuine redundant system with two
independent measuring sensors and two
signal converters.
This provides twofold functional reliability and
availability of the measurement.
This variant is ideally suited for
measurements in multi-product pipelines. In
such pipelines, two different products are
moved through one after the other.
One signal converter can be programmed for
one product, and the other signal converter
for the other product.

2.2.5 Device description
2.2.6 Free air delivery measurement - FAD (optional)
A (air) compressor draws air from the ambient atmosphere, compresses it and delivers it at the
required pressure. Since the ambient atmosphere also contains water vapour, what the
compressor draws in is a mixture of air and water vapour. Free air delivery measurement is to
be understood under this condition. Most manufacturers specify free air delivery only at
standard intake conditions. What the user ultimately requires as process air must first be
determined before measuring can take place with an accuracy of ±1%.
The vortex flowmeter with the optional FAD function can measure the free air delivery online,
humidity and speed compensated, regardless of its function as standard flowmeter. The
integrated software evaluates the free air delivery automatically online.
The menu-driven, user-friendly software prompts the operator to enter the pressure, relative
humidity, the required as well as current discharge pressure.
The steam tables and compressibility tables are saved as standard. The measuring device is
optionally available with a pressure sensor which measures the discharge pressure online,
making manual input of the values unnecessary.

2.2.7 Gross heat meter
In almost all applications with saturated steam, the steam is used for heating. It is much more
interesting to know how great the heat flow volume is that is available to the process, than to
know how great the flow is in kg/h.
As the enthalpy of steam changes with the temperature, it cannot be assumed as a constant. The
vortex flowmeter has a special feature that can calculate the flow of vapour as power output. The
enthalpy tables are permanently programmed in the memory of the device.
The online density-compensated mass flow is multiplied by the correct enthalpy to obtain the
flow as power output.
Power [Q
H
] = mass flow [Q
m
] x enthalpy [H]
If the gross heat meter is activated, both the totalizer for the absolute steam consumption as
well as that for the energy run internally.

2.2.8 Dual seal
To comply with the requirements of ANSI/ISA 12.27.01-2003 "Requirements for Process Sealing
Between Electrical Systems and Flammable or Combustible Process Fluid", a membrane vent is
integrated in the neck of the device. This vent is located between the primary seal (process) and
the secondary seal (electronics compartment) and works to prevent pressure build-up in the
device neck, thus preventing product from penetrating the electronics compartment in the
unlikely event of a leak in the primary seal.
The seal between the pick-up and the measuring tube is considered as the primary seal. The
material used for it is always the same as that used for the measuring tube itself (e.g. stainless
steel 1.4404 / 316L or Hastelloy
®
C22). When selecting a material, corrosion resistance in
relation to process parameters (media, temperature) must be taken into account.
By using the membrane vent, all requirements for a "DUAL SEAL" version in terms of the above
mentioned standards are met.
•It protects the electronics from the process media.
•Any leak in the primary seal can be detected.
Even though there is no reason to expect the seal to fail, regular visual checks should still be
carried out to detect any possible leak as early as possible.
In the event of a leak, contact the manufacturer's service department to service or replace the
device.

3.1 General notes on installation
3.2 Storage
•Store the device in a dry, dust-free location.
•Avoid extended direct exposure to the sun.
•Store the device in the original packaging.
•The permissible storage temperature for standard devices is -40...+85°C / -40...+185°F.
3.3 Transport
•Use lifting straps wrapped around both process connections for transport.
•Do not lift measuring devices by the signal converter housing for transport.
•Never lift the measuring device by the pressure sensor.
•Do not use lifting chains as they may damage the housing.
INFORMATION!
Inspect the packaging carefully for damages or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the
carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.

3.4 Installation conditions
INFORMATION!
For accurate volumetric flow measurement the measuring device needs a completely filled pipe
and a fully developed flow profile.
Please observe the instructions regarding inlet and outlet pipe runs as well as the installation
position.
CAUTION!
Eliminate vibrations in the pipeline by properly installing the measuring device. Any vibration will
distort the measuring result.
CAUTION!
When installing the device in the piping, the following points must be observed:
• Nominal diameter of connection pipe flange = nominal flange diameter of pipe!
• Use flanges with smooth holes, e.g. welding neck flanges.
• Align carefully the holes of the connecting flange and the flowmeter flange.
• Check the compatibility of the gasket material with the process product.
• Make sure that the gaskets are arranged concentrically. The flange gaskets must not project
into the pipe cross-section.
• The flanges have to be concentric.
• There must not be any pipe bends, valves, flaps or other internals in the immediate inlet run.
• Devices in sandwich version may only be installed using a centering ring.
• Never install the device directly behind piston compressors or rotary piston meters.
• Do not lay signal cables directly next to cables for the power supply.
INFORMATION!
If there is a risk of water hammers in steam networks, appropriate condensate separators must
be installed.
Suitable measures must be taken to avoid water cavitation if it is a possible risk.
