1.3 Flow Meter Congurations
Our vortex mass ow meters are available in two model congurations:
In-line F-2600 Series Flow Meters (replaces a section of the pipeline)
Insertion F-2700 Series Flow Meters (requires a tap into an existing pipeline)
Both the in-line and insertion congurations are similar in that they both use identical electronics
and have similar sensor heads. Besides installation differences, the main difference between an
in-line ow meter and an insertion ow meter is their method of measurement.
For an in-line vortex ow meter, the shedder bar is located across the entire diameter of the
ow body. Thus, the entire pipeline ow is included in the vortex formation and measurement.
The sensing head, which directly measures velocity, temperature and pressure, is located just
downstream of the shedder bar.
Insertion vortex ow meters have a shedder bar located across the diameter of a short tube. The
velocity, temperature and pressure sensor is located within this tube just downstream of a built-
in shedder bar. This entire assembly is called the insertion sensing head. It ts through any entry
port with a 1.875 inch minimum internal diameter.
The sensing head of an insertion vortex ow meter directly monitors the velocity at a point in
the cross-sectional area of a pipe, duct, or stack (referred to as “channels”). The velocity at a
point in the pipe varies as a function of the Reynolds number. The insertion vortex ow meter
computes the Reynolds number and then computes the total ow rate in the channel. The output
signal of insertion meters is the total ow rate in the channel. The accuracy of the total ow rate
computation depends on adherence to the piping installation requirements given in Section 2. If
adherence to those guidelines cannot be met, contact ONICON for specic installation advice.
1.3.1 Multivariable Options
The both versions of the meter are capable of providing the following ow measurement
options:
Volumetric ow; Mass ow with temperature compensation; Mass ow with temperature
and pressure compensation; Steam energy ow with temperature compensation;
Steam energy ow with temperature and pressure compensation, Mass or Energy ow
with temperature and external pressure compensation and Net Energy using a second
temperature sensor.
