Burak - Vortex Flow Meter
The vortex flowmeter is a flow measuring device that is used to measure the flowing mass and volume flow of liquid, gas, and steam in closed pipelines. This is a volumetric flow meter that comes with inbuilt temperature and pressure compensation for gas and steam measurement and without inbuilt temperature and pressure compensation for liquid application. Further, they come in two models, inline type vortex flow meter and insertion type vortex flow meter.
Features of Vortex flow meter
The standard model of vortex flowmeter includes a bright OLED display for viewing flow, flow cumulative, 4-20 mA output transmitter, RS485, RS232 Modbus RTU Protocol, data logging facility with an optional online monitory device (IoT). General applications of vortex meters are raw water, bore well water, solvent, chemicals, gases, and compressed air. Burak metering is one of the leading manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors of Vortex flow meters in India.

The vortex flow transmitter consists of a head-type flow indicator displaying the current flow rate and cumulative flow of the flowing medium. Along with the large graphical display it also has other communication and transmission outputs like RS 485 Communication and 4-20 mA output. To operate it requires an external power supply of 24 VDC. The electronic enclosure is certified to be weatherproof – IP 66 housing.
The mechanical construction consists of a fabricated stainless steel body and a concentric reducer and expander that enable stable flow rate measurements. Buff body with a piezoelectric sensor with end connection wafer type, flanged as per DIN/ ANSI Standard.
Vortex flow meter for steam flow measurement
Steam is generated through the boiler by adding heat energy. It is a very efficient and easily controlled heat transfer medium. It is often used for transporting energy from the boiler to any specific location in the plant where it is used to heat air, water, or process applications. Steam is a vapor form of water at high temperatures and pressure conditions.
