Details

Standard Type

digitalYEWFLO Vortex Flowmeter Standard Type can measure flow rate of liquid, gas and steam.
A simple and robust structure with no moving parts provides high reliability and durability, and supports a wide range of applications.

Can Be Used in a Wide Range of Applications

digitalYEWFLO Vortex Flow Meter - Can Be Used in a Wide Range of Applications

It can measure the flow rate of liquid, gas and steam.
Installation at piping is easy because there are only two upstream and downstream connections.
The sensor detects frequency, and at zero flow rate it outputs frequency zero. Therefore, no zero adjustment is required.

Reduced Bore Type

digitalYEWFLO Vortex flowmeter Reduced Bore Type is a vortex flowmeter in which the main body of the vortex flowmeter and the reducer (reduction pipe and expansion pipe) are integrated into a casting.
Suitable for lines with large fluctuations in flow rate depending on the season, such as steam supply lines.
Since the reducer and the vortex flowmeter are integrated, it is not necessary to prepare a reducer and a short pipe for securing the straight pipe length.
This not only simplifies installation and reduces costs, but also improves safety by reducing the number of connection points.

Multi-Variable Type

digitalYEWFLO Vortex Flowmeter Multi-Variable Type is a flowmeter most suitable for steam applications, with a built-in resistance temperature sensor (Pt1000) in a solid shedder bar (vortex generator).
Analog and pulse signals can be output simultaneously, and while displaying the flow rate on the display, it is also possible to display the fluid temperature as a temperature monitor function. It contributes to the total cost reduction and energy saving of the line using steam as the heat medium.
