The VortiFox Series is a high-end vortex flow meter, and it features a robust design with FM, FMc, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.
“After over 30 years as the leader in thermal mass flow meters, Fox Thermal has expanded its product line to include vortex shedding flow measurement technology. Customers of Fox Thermal, who have long relied on their advanced thermal mass flow meters for process gas flow monitoring, can now monitor liquids and steam with ease. Offering trusted flow measurements across different fluid types will profoundly affect the ability of our customers to reach their efficiency goals,” stated Robert Cid, Director of Product Marketing for Fox Thermal.
As part of Fox Thermal’s mission to Make Downtime a Thing of the Past, the VortiFox offers an advanced multivariable transmitter. In one instrument and one process connection, the VortiFox measures multiple process parameters simultaneously: mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, temperature, pressure, fluid density, and energy (BTU). This gives you a lower cost per measurement — all in one high-performance device.
Highlights of the VortiFox series include:
- Measurement of gas, liquids, and steam
- Insertion configurations for pipe sizes greater than 2-inch with hot-tap options
- Inline configurations for ½-inch to 12-inch pipe sizes
- Field-configurable ranges, alarms, outputs, and displays
- Rangeability up to 100:1
- Temperature up to 750°F (400°C)
- Pressure up to 1,500 psia (100 bara)
- HART, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP protocols, and PoE (Power over Ethernet)
The VortiFox VF3 insertion vortex flow meter is notable because it offers both removable and permanent retractor options. The hot-tap option allows installation and maintenance without having to shut down the process.
VortiFox also allows end users to monitor performance with ease using the PoE (Power over Ethernet) option and lower the overall infrastructure and installation costs.
The VortiFox is ideal for high-pressure gas, steam, and liquid flow measurement in oil & gas and industrial applications. Typical applications include:
- Produced or injection steam
- District heat distribution
- Process heating or heat tracing
- Produced water
- Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
- BTU energy measurement for thermal oils
