Nominal sizeDN15 – DN300
Accuracy±1 % (liquid) · ±1.5 % (gas/steam)
Turndown ratio30 : 1
Output4–20 mA · Pulse · Modbus
Overview
The FM-VX derives flow from the frequency of vortices shed behind a bluff body and, with built-in temperature and pressure sensors, calculates mass flow of saturated and superheated steam. No moving parts means long life and little maintenance.
