Steam gas 4-20mA vortex flowmeter

Steam gas 4-20mA vortex flowmeter Working Principle

Meacon steam gas 4-20mA vortex flowmeter determines the flow rate by measuring the frequency of vortices generated by the fluid inside the flow sensor. When the fluid flows through the flow sensor, regular vortices are generated alternately on both sides of the vortex generator, and the frequency of these vortices is proportional to the fluid flow rate, so that the flow rate can be calculated.

Signal Type

4-20mA is a commonly used analog signal that indicates the size of the measured value by the magnitude of the current. In vortex flowmeter, 4mA indicates the minimum value and 20mA indicates the maximum value. This signal type has the advantages of long signal transmission distance and strong anti-interference ability, which is suitable for the scenario that requires long-distance signal transmission.
