        SITRANS F X vortex flowmeters

        Vortex meters measure flow by detecting the frequency at which alternating vortices are shed from a bluff body, which is hit by the medium. The vortices create a differential force across a sensor wing, flexing it at a frequency proportional to the flow rate measured by the meter. The movement of the oscillating wing is transmitted to the SITRANS F X electronics by a dual piezoelectric crystal sensor mounted in the wing.

        SITRANS F: The future of flow measurement

        Siemens has the ideal flow solution for every industry and application, with a comprehensive selection of electromagnetic, Coriolis, ultrasonic, vortex,rotary piston and differential pressure technology. Our innovative flow sensors, transmitters and systems are tailor-made to meet your needs- and exceed your expectations. - Watch the video to see what we mean!

        • Following the modernization of the fluid mechanics laboratory for the university’s Mechanical Engineering degree course, the course now includes comparison of various flow measurement methods.

        • The long straight inlet connectors in the test bench for hydraulic machines allow a good comparison of the different technologies, which are evaluated and monitored on the basis of the measurement data.

        • The precision of the instruments can also be compared since they are installed in 4 parallel tubes. Tube 1 contains a SITRANS FX300 vortex flowmeter, size DN 100. It consistently demonstrates high accuracy of ± 0.6 % of the measured value.
