Steam Meter FLOWIRL™ 8400


Steam Meter FLOWIRL™ 8400

The FLOWIRL™ 8400 is a highly versatile, all-in-one vortex flowmeter built to master fluctuating process conditions in the measurement of liquids, gases, and saturated or superheated steam.

The base version includes temperature compensation, while an optional pressure sensor provides complete, integrated density compensation. Utilising Advanced Vortex Frequency Detection (AVFD) technology, it is the ideal choice for demanding applications including industrial gas consumption, compressed air systems, compressor output monitoring, and Free Air Delivery (FAD) evaluation.

Key Technical Specifications:
• Medium Temperature Range: -40°C to +240°C / -40°F to +465°F
• Maximum Operating Pressure: 100 bar / 1450 psi (higher pressures on request)
• Measurement Accuracy (Volume Flow): ± 0.75% for liquids; ± 1.0% for volume flow
• Measurement Accuracy (Mass Flow): ± 1.5% of measured value for gases and steam
• Output Signal: 4…20 mA HART® (passive)
• Ingress Protection: IP66/67 (for both compact housing and remote sensor housing)
• Viscosity Limit: < 10 cP

Variants

Universal device offering integrated temperature compensation for standard mass/energy measurements.
Compact profile flowmeter complete with optimized centering rings to quickly eliminate alignment offsets in pipelines.
Flange or sandwich design that includes both pressure and temperature compensation for complex gas mixtures or superheated steam.
Ships with a field housing converter allowing the electronics to be accessed remotely up to 50 m (164 ft) away from an inaccessible pipe.
Features integrated single (F1R) or double (F2R) nominal diameter reduction to maintain high accuracy at lower flow ranges without complex pipe modification.
