HIKMICRO FV0 Vortex Flowmeter
The HIKMICRO FV0 Series is a professional-grade vortex flowmeter designed for the high-precision measurement of steam, gases, and low-viscosity liquids. Operating on the Karman Vortex Street principle, these meters use a non-wearing triangular bluff body to generate vortices whose frequency is directly proportional to the flow velocity.
Engineered for the most demanding industrial energy management and process control environments, the FV0 series stands out for its high reliability, wide rangeability, and ability to handle extreme temperatures. With its digital signal processing and integrated compensation options, it provides a stable "mass flow" output even in systems with fluctuating pressures and temperatures.
Key Professional Advantages
Elite Karman Sensing Technology: Utilizing high-sensitivity piezoelectric crystals encapsulated in a fully welded stainless steel body, the FV0 series detects vortices with extreme precision while remaining immune to pipeline vibrations.
Integrated Multi-Parameter Compensation: Higher-tier models (FV01 and FV02) feature built-in temperature and pressure sensors. This allows the host to calculate compensated mass flow for steam and compressed air in real-time, eliminating the need for separate external transmitters.
Zero-Maintenance Reliability: With no moving parts and an obstruction-less flow path (besides the fixed bluff body), the FV0 series is virtually immune to mechanical wear and tear, ensuring a decade-long service life in 24/7 industrial plants.
Wide Dynamic Range (1:25): The FV0 series maintains its accuracy across a broad spectrum of flow velocities, allowing for precise measurement during both peak production and low-demand standby periods.
Digital Integration Ready: Features a standard 2-wire design with 4-20mA, Pulse, and HART protocols. Modbus RTU support is also available, ensuring the meter acts as a smart node within your existing SCADA or Energy Management System.
Extreme Temperature Resilience: Specifically calibrated to handle steam and industrial gases at temperatures up to 350°C (High-Temp version), making it the definitive choice for boiler room and thermal power applications.
