Steam is an efficient way to transport energy throughout a facility. This energy is then used for a range of purposes, including heat transfer, power generation, mechanical work, sterilization, and humidification in many different industries. Cross partner Azbil’s vortex flow meters make measuring steam flow easy, reliable and cost effective.

Azbil’s flowmeters feature a no-moving parts design and rugged, welded construction for durability. They are easily installed with flanged or Male NPT process connections in any pipe size of two-inches and greater. Optional retractor or “hot-tap” hardware simplifies maintenance operations. WIth 4-20 mA 2-wire loop power as a standard offering, electrical installation is also made simple and quick.

The AX22 / AX24 (inline) and AX23 (insertion) lines are multivariable flow meters, using three primary sensors: a vortex shedding velocity sensor, an RTP temperature sensor and a solid-state pressure transducer. Because a single device is measuring all three variables, they use density compensation to provide very accurate mass flow in fluctuating process conditions while reducing installation cost and simplifying system design. The built in flow computer also allows for energy logging and monitoring for your system for easy process optimization.
