Instrument Toolkit -- Vortex Sizing Module
Software for sizing and
selecting instrumentation for flow, level, pressure, and temperature applications.
About the Vortex Sizing module
The Instrument Toolkit Vortex Sizing module enables you to select the most appropriate
flowmeter size for a specific application. Proper sizing is crucial when specifying a
Vortex flowmeter because the measurable flow range of the meter relies heavily on the
specific application parameters at operating conditions. Application considerations
include flow rates, application and fluid parameters, rangeability, accuracy, piping
requirements, pressure drop and minimum back pressure.
The program will request that you input the following application parameters at
operating conditions: temperature, pressure, density, viscosity, vapor pressure (liquids
only), and compressibility (gasses only). It uses these parameters to calculate the
measurable flow range for a particular flowmeter size. It will then show you how well
suited each Vortex line size is to the specific application. You can select one of the
applicable line sizes by clicking on the appropriate radio button. Next, the program will
take you through the Vortex flowmeter model number selection in which you may choose
the desired Vortex model number. After the sizing is performed, reports are available.
A configuration Data Sheet (CDS) a Specification Sheet, and a calculation
data sheet can be quickly
generated to help you place your order with Rosemount.
Though the Vortex flowmeters can accurately measure liquid, gas, or steam/vapor flows
over wide flow ranges, they can only accurately measure fluids that are both single-phase
and homogenous. Measured flow rates must also fall within a specific range, which is
defined by Reynolds number and velocity constraints.
