Hot tap or compact insertion
VN2000 hot tap and VN2000 compact insertion vortex flowmeters measure volumetric or mass flow rates over a large flow range. Its versatile, solid stainless-steel design can measure water as low as 1.32 feet per second and superheated steam up to 250 feet per second. VN2000 hot tap insertion vortex flowmeter handles process temperatures up to 400 ˚F (204 ˚C), and can measure line sizes of 2 in. to 48 in. (50 mm to 1,200 mm. For volumetric flow, it achieves an accuracy of ±1.0% with repeatability of ±0.25%.
