The MF4 vortex flow meter covers gases, liquids and steam in one instrument, with a turndown of up to 60:1 and sizes from DN10 to DN600 (insertion versions to DN3000). Its ASSP spectral lock-in anti-vibration technology withstands vibration of 3g and above, a common failure point of conventional vortex meters.
Built-in temperature and pressure compensation with the IAPWS97 steam tables delivers compensated steam mass flow directly. Sensors can be replaced online without stopping the flow, and an anti-clogging sensor design is available for dirty media.
Key Features
- ASSP adaptive anti-vibration technology, >=3g; isolated-vibration and water-hammer-resistant sensor structures

- High-temperature version for media up to 450 C; range -196 C to +450 C
- Dot-matrix LCD with bilingual menu showing instantaneous/total flow, temperature and pressure together
- NAMUR NE43 fault alarm currents (3.6 mA / 22.5 mA)
- 13 self-diagnostics and alarms; IP68 submersible probe option
