ST98 Flow Meter with Vortab VIP Conditioner for Wastewater Treatment

According to Fluid Components International, the Vortab Insertion Panel (VIP) Flow Conditioner compensates for flow disturbances in wastewater treatment aeration basin compressed air piping systems. Vortab VIP Flow Conditioners remove both swirl and distorted velocity flow profiles under challenging pipe layout conditions.

The ST98 Flow Meter in combination with theVIP Flow Conditioner, features a no-moving parts thermal dispersion mass flow sensing element that provides high accuracy and reliability in harsh environments. The ST98 also includes an integral 2-way HART interface, which allows engineers to receive multiple process variables and configure the meter remotely from the safety of the control room.

The ST98 Flow Meter offers high accuracy to ±1% of reading, 0.5% of full scale. Repeatability is ±0.5% of reading. This insertion style flow meter can be installed without shutting down the process by using a simple NPT fitting. The ST98 operates over a wide flow range from 0.75 to 600 SFPS (0.21 to 172 NMPS), and the turndown ratio is factory preset from 10:1 up to 100:1. It operates at pressures up to 250 psig [17 bar (g)].

The standard Model VIP Flow Conditioner is manufactured of 316L stainless steel in sizes for installation in pipes from 2 to 40 inch diameters (50 to 999.9 mm). Other materials and larger line sizes are available upon request. They are available in both ANSI and DIN flange-mount or weld-in-place configurations.
