  4. Agenda • What is a vortex meter and where does it provide value? • What is unique about the Foxboro brand vortex flowmeter? • New design features enhances flexibility and value

  5. FLOW VORTICES OBSTACLE Vortex Shedding Principal

  6. QV 1/K Frequency, f Vortex Shedding Principal Frequency proportion to flowrate

  7. Vortex Advantages • Over Turbine • No moving parts • Less maintenance/ lower cost of ownership • Less sensitive to dirty fluids • Less damage due to high momentum impinging of water droplets • Parts alone to rebuild a turbine flowmeter can exceed 25% of the original purchase price. Labor and downtime can easily double or even triple that figure. • Over Orifice • Higher accuracy and range • Less susceptible to wear • Lower pressure drop typically

  8. General Applications Most liquids of 20cp or less. Recent success with produced water from gas wells. Liquids Gases Steam Advantage…No moving parts Water calibrations transferrable to gases. API currently pursuing a gas vortex standard. Meter of choice for steam. Have had years of success applying the Foxboro meter for district steam heating.

  9. DirectSense™ technology with large sensing surface: accurate and reliable Delivering Measurement Value For flow applications requiring accurate volumetric flow measurement, the Foxboro Model 84 offers the best performance and widest flow range available in a vortex flow meter. Unlike other vortex meters, the Foxboro Model 84 incorporates DirectSense™ technology. The simple, direct sensor design offers unmatched sensitivity, vibration immunity and reliability backed by a life time sensor warranty. In addition, the Model 84 incorporates unique Adaptive Turning algorithms for such things as: real time Reynolds number correction, piping effects, and K factor changes over temperature.

  10. Model 84 Family of Vortex Meters • For Liquids, Gases and Steam • Steam….saturated and superheated. In fact it is the technology of choice for steam measurement • True volumetric flow measurement • Low initial cost/ low cost of ownership/ low pressure loss • Durable/ low maintenance • True 3A sanitary flow applications • Ultra-pure water

  11. Certified Device Type Managers (DTM’s) Live measurement visibility Simulate the view at the instrument Trending you can customize Built in configuration tools for real world applications References at your fingertips Generate detailed configuration reports

  12. Online Application Tool: FlowExpertPro.com • Meter sizing and more: • AGA8 …Natural Gas • ASME Steam calculations • Fluid properties calculator • An excellent link for your desktop!

  13. Low Power Option • Low Power … 100 mW • Replaces troublesome moving part meters • Ideal for SCADA systems • Doubles battery life/ cuts solar panel requirements in half • Significantly reduces operating costs

  14. Enhancements 12/2011 and 4/2012 • Sizes ¾” thru 8”, DN15-DN100 • Add Flange Ratings: To ANSI 1500 and Din flanges to PN160 standard • Add Materials: Duplex Steels • Add High Nickel Alloy (equiv. to Hastelloy C) • Sizes 10”, 12”, DN250, DN300 • Class 600, PN100
