VORTEX FLOW METERS
FOR STEAM

Sierra Vortex Flow Meters for Steam are specialized flow measurement instruments designed to accurately and efficiently measure the flow rate of steam in industrial and commercial applications. These flow meters utilize the vortex shedding principle to determine the flow velocity of steam, allowing for precise monitoring and control of steam flow within pipelines and systems. Sierra offers a range of Vortex Flow Meters tailored for various steam flow measurement needs and conditions.

​

Key Features and Advantages:

​

1.     Accurate Steam Flow Measurement: Sierra Vortex Flow Meters provide highly accurate measurement of steam flow rates, ensuring reliable data for process control and energy management.

​

2.     Vortex Shedding Principle: These flow meters rely on the vortex shedding phenomenon, where vortices are generated behind an obstruction placed in the flow path. The frequency of vortices shed is directly proportional to the flow rate of steam, allowing for precise flow measurement.

​

3.     Wide Range of Steam Applications: Sierra Vortex Flow Meters are suitable for a wide range of steam applications, including saturated steam, superheated steam, and high-temperature steam.

​

4.     Variable Conditions: Vortex Flow Meters are designed to perform well under varying steam pressure and temperature conditions, making them versatile for different industrial processes.

​

5.     Low Pressure Drop: These flow meters have a minimal impact on the steam flow system's pressure, ensuring efficient steam transport without significant energy losses.

​

6.     Durable Construction: Sierra Vortex Flow Meters are built to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments, featuring materials and coatings that resist corrosion and wear.

​

7.     Low Maintenance: These flow meters require minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
