84C Intelligent Vortex Flowmeters

84C Intelligent Vortex Flowmeters

Vortex technology for flow measurement offers advantages such as easy installation without impulse lines; no moving parts to maintain or repair; decreased leak potential; and a wide flow turndown range. Ideal for remote locations, vortex meters also offer very low power consumption.

Vortex flow meters can measure liquids, gases, and steam, and can withstand high process pressures and temperatures. This makes vortex technology ideal for measuring natural gas, low conductivity boiler cooling water, and other applications in various power generating systems — both traditional and newer, cleaner alternatives.  

The 84C sets the example for industry standards whether the application requires accuracy for totalizing and batching; utility metering of fluids in the process industries; fuel, air, steam, or gas metering for the measurement of energy in any high-use application; or stability and repeatability for process control.  

The 84CS Sanitary flowmeters are designed for food and pharmaceutical sanitary liquid service, and CIP systems.

Model 84C flowmeters can be configured locally or remotely. If you order the flowmeter with an optional LCD display, pushbuttons on the display allow you to easily configure the flowmeter locally. Alternatively, you can use a HART or Modbus communicator or a PC-based configurator.

High pressure up to Class 1500 and PN160 

DirectSense™ technology backed by a lifetime sensor warranty. DirectSense technology measures pressure pulses directly from vortex shedding, without losses due to mechanical linkages. The benefits of DirectSense technology include: 

•   Increased measurement sensitivity for wider rangeability
•   Greater immunity to pipe vibration
•   High reliability backed by a lifetime sensor warranty
•   Sensor is replaceable without the need for recalibration
