Vortex Flow Meter

Vortex Flow Meter

SITRANS FX Vortex Flow meters provide accurate standard volumetric and mass flow measurement for steam, gases, conductive and non-conductive liquids. The vortex Flowmeter functions as an “All-in-one-solution” with integrated temperature and pressure compensation together with an optional energy calculation.

It is specially designed for applications that require reliable flow measuring independent of pressure, temperature, viscosity and density. This makes it perfectly applicable in especially the chemical industry, HVAC, food and beverage, oil and gas and pharma.

SIEMENS SITRANS FX 330 Vortex Flowmeter

SITRANS FX330 vortex flowmeter, which is primarily designed for applications in auxiliary, supply, and energy systems, and is also versatile for use in the process industry. This device boasts new features such as the integrated heat meter, status alarms compliant with NAMUR NE107, and comprehensive Ex approvals, making it well-suited for a wide range of installations in the chemical, power, and oil and gas industries.

The vortex flowmeter product line includes two types of flowmeters: a flange version and a sandwich version. These features make the SITRANS FX330 a flexible and reliable choice for diverse flow measurement needs.
