GE's PanaFlow MV80 in-line multivariable mass vortex flow meter is the next generation in vortex meters. PanaFlow MV80’s multivariable design consists of a vortex shedding velocity sensor, an RTD temperature sensor and a solid state pressure transducer that measures the mass flow rate of steam, gases and liquids.Other meter types use external process measurements to calculate mass flow. The temperature and pressure devices are typically not installed in the same location as the flowmeter. Process conditions can vary greatly between the two locations, causing inaccurate mass flow readings. PanaFlow MV80 measures velocity,temperature and pressure at the same location, which provides more accurate process measurement.
Features
