The Sekee VORTEX vortex flowmeter is a device for measuring the volumetric or mass flow rate of liquids, gases, or steam, based on the Karman effect. It consists of a housing with a streamlined element, often called a vortex generator, which, when exposed to the flow of the medium, generates successively separated vortices. The frequency of vortex shedding is proportional to the flow velocity, allowing the flow rate to be determined from the measured frequency. To record the vortex shedding frequency, sensors are used that convert the vortex oscillations into an electrical signal.

Advantages of the Sekee VORTEX

• Low measurement error (up to 0.5%)
• Multifunctionality. Vortex flowmeters can be used to measure liquids, gases, and steam.
• When measuring volumetric flow under operating conditions, parameters such as liquid density, pressure, temperature, and viscosity have virtually no effect.
• Independence from the physical properties of the medium. Measurement accuracy is unaffected by changes in density, viscosity, temperature, and pressure.
• No moving parts: Long service life and low operating costs.
• Low pressure loss: Vortex flowmeters have no protruding parts through which the flow passes, typically resulting in low pressure losses.
• Wide measurement range: These flowmeters can measure both very small and very large flow rates, making them versatile devices.
• Immunity to vibration: Modern flowmeters are equipped with vibration compensation systems, enabling highly accurate measurements even in challenging industrial environments.
• Linear response: Vortex flowmeters provide a linear response to flow velocity, simplifying measurement interpretation.
• Support for flow velocity conversion display, allowing you to see the current flow velocity on-site.
• Strong immunity to interference.
