Typical Applications

The STEEMCO-MAS flow meters measure the flow of superheated steam within the process industries, including chemical, petro-chemical, pharmaceutical and the power industry. Mass flow of saturated steam is masured with STEEMCO and a multivariable without a temperature input. The STEEMCO-MAS is based on the principle of measuring velocity pressure and temperature, with mass flow computed by the electronics. The STEEMCO-MAS flow meters are backed by international standards covering flow calculation, manufacturing tolerances, accuracy and installation requirements. This type of fundamental technology is accepted world wide and supported by millions of successful installations.

The Steemco-Mas flow meter features are:

• Standardised product based on well proven technology.
• Compact design.
• Simple construction.
• Standardised construction means low inventory.
• No moving parts.
• Not sensitive to vibrations.
• The electronics delivers output signal linear to flow.
• Digital indicator for local flow reading.
• High accuracy.
• Wide rangeability.
• Easy to install.
• Easy to re-calibrate.

Construction

Model Steemco-Mas

The STEEMCO-MAS flow meter consists of a primary element based on the differential pressure principle, condensing pots, a 3 or 5 valve manifold valve and a multivariable transmitter with a temperature sensor. The multi variable transmitter measures the differential pressure and the static pressure and has an input connection to the temperature sensor. The flow computer housed in the transmitter performs the dynamic flow calculation.

The STEEMCO-MAS flow meter is mounted between flanges in sizes
from DN 40 (11⁄2") to DN 400 (16") in pressure ratings up to PN 40 (300 lbs).

Accessories

Remote electronic indicator with LCD is available for local flow indication and if required check/change of flow rate (differential pressure).

Principle of Measurement

The STEEMCO-MAS is a velocity flow meter. A restriction in a pipe line changes the value of respective momentum energies, in terms of static and dynamic pressure. Based on the laws of energy balance developed by Bernoulli, the sum of the energies remain constant. Increasing the velocity in the pipe line, decreases the pressure in the restriction. The pressure differential between the inlet pressure and the pressure in the restriction is measured and expressed as flow velocity. When the physical values of the fluid are known and the inner pipe diameter is established the electronics calculates the flow rate. The flow rate is expressed in an analogue signal 4 - 20 mA signal or via digital communication.

Installation Requirements

The STEEMCO-MAS flow meter can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical pipe. The condensing pot arrangement shall be mounted horizontally with the outlet pointing downwards. To insure high accuracy of measurement, long straight pipe runs up-stream from the flow meter is necessary. The required straight pipe run depends on the disturbance upstream. To maintain the 1.2% accuracy the minimum straight pipe run upstream shall be 14 x inner pipe diameter and 6 x downstream If an additional inaccuracy of 1⁄2 % is acceptable the required straight pipe runs are reduced to half of the above values. If mass flow is required for saturated steam, ask for a multivariabe tranmitter and the STEEMCO meter.
