Multi-Variable Vortex Flowmeters

GE's Panaflow MV series are a new and exciting addition to our flowmeter range, based on proven stable vortex technology (no vibration effect). As well as flow measurement in gas, liquid and steam applications, these meters can also measure temperature and pressure with accuracy that is as good or better than other technologies.

Consists of a vortex shedding velocity sensor, an RTD temperature sensor and a solid state pressure transducer to measure flow, pressure and temperature at the same location, providing greater accuracy in process measurement. Provides a cost effective solution with simple operation,for gas, liquid and steam applications.
With the same functionality as the inline flowmeter, this is essentially a minature vortex flowmeter on a probe. The meters electronics compute the average flow reading throughout the meters range by assesing the pipe size, the insertion depth and the predicted flow profile.

Vortex flowmeters can often be the best choice for applications in the petrochemical industry. Many applications in the oil and gas industry are also suited to a vortex flowmeter solution, especially the allocation of natural gas along smaller pipes (less than 8 inches).

Other applications in which vortex flowmeters are the right choice include process industry applications where multivariable measurement is necessary, and large energy management applications such as universities, office buildings etc. Vortex flowmeters are also ideal for steam applications.

Installation & Maintenance Savings

Installing multivariable vortex flowmeters can save considerably on installation and maintenance costs with applications that require temperature, pressure and flow measurement.

Compared with installing seperate pressure, temperature and flow transducers, the installation of a Panaflow MV vortex flowmeter can save over 30% on installation costs alone. With no moving parts and no calibration required, Panaflow vortex flowmeters also provide significant long-term savings compared to other technologies.

Easy to Use

Ease of use is also a key strength of Panaflow MV flowmeters. The meters are supplied as 'plug & play' units, that have been pre-programmed specifically for your application.

Simple Communications

Using Modbus/HART over a single pair of wires, the Panaflow MV series provides seamless integration with customer DCS systems.
