The SA80T-TP Enhanced Swirl flowmeter is a dependable device, designed with a simplified structure that is highly versatile and interchangeable. It utilizes digital signal processing, which enhances its anti-interference capabilities. The circuit module is assembled with components that meet higher reliability and durability standards, and the surface mount modular design eliminates low-reliability components such as potentiometers and plugs. This ensures that the flowmeter is highly stable and accurate.

The Swirl flowmeter utilizes the principles of vortex shedding that occur when a fluid flows past a bluff obstacle in its path.
The Swirl flowmeter, however, has an added twist in the way it conditions the fluid, resulting in improved performance while reducing installation considerations.

The Swirl flowmeter is similar to the vortex flowmeter in terms of technology. It utilizes the principles of vortex shedding that occur when a fluid flows past a bluff obstacle in its path. The Swirl flowmeter, however, has an added twist in the way it conditions the fluid, resulting in improved performance while reducing installation considerations.

The Swirl flowmeter works by channeling the incoming fluid through a Swirl-inducing element (Swirler) fixed at the upstream inlet of the meter body. The Swirler imparts a tangential velocity to the fluid and then accelerates its flow via a reduction in the meter body bore. The Swirler generates a low-pressure zone at the core of the primary fluid rotation.

As the fluid approaches the meter outlet, the flowmeter's bore increases and decelerates the fluid to its original velocity. The deswirler, welded to the flowmeter body near the outlet, eliminates the tangential velocity imparted to the fluid at the inlet. This avoids any interference with the operation of other downstream instrumentation.

  • The swirl flow meter can be installed indoors or outdoors. If installed in an underground well and there is a possibility of flooding, the submersible type should be selected.
  • The swirl flow meter can be installed horizontally, vertically or inclined in the pipeline.When the measuring medium is liquid, then the pipe must be filled with liquid. Therefore, when installing swirl flow meter on vertical or inclined pipeline, the flow direction of liquid should be from bottom to top.
  • Swirl flowmeter does not require a long straight pipe section, and the required length of the upper and lower straight pipe sections depends on the condition of the pipe. The upper end of the swirl flow meter should avoid installing a regulator or half-open valve as much as possible, and should be installed 5D after the lower end of the flow meter.
  • In the design of the pipeline installation, the upper end of the flowmeter signal converter should be left 500mm space, to facilitate commissioning and maintenance.
  • When the flowmeter requires a temperature-pressure compensation type,the pressure transmitter is installed at (1-2) D downstream of the flowmeter, and the temperature measuring element (usually with platinum resistance) is installed downstream (3-5) D.
