SECTION 1.0: INTRODUCTION
1.1 ONICON F-2600 & F-2700 SERIES VORTEX MASS FLOW METERS
The ONICON F-2600 Series In-line and F-2700 Series Insertion Vortex Flow Meters provide a
reliable solution for process flow measurement. From a single entry point in the pipeline, F-2600
meters offer precise measurements of mass or volumetric flow rates.
Multi-Parameter Mass Flow Meters
Mass flow meters utilize three primary sensing elements: a vortex shedding velocity sensor, an
RTD temperature sensor, and a solid state pressure sensor to measure the mass flow rate of gases,
liquids, and steam.
Meters are available as loop powered devices or with up to three 4-20 mA analog output signals
for monitoring your choice of the five process variables (mass flow, volumetric flow, temperature,
pressure and fluid density). The Energy Monitoring option permits
real-time calculation of energy consumption for a facility or process.
Volumetric Flow Meters
The primary sensing element of a volumetric flow meter is a vortex shedding velocity sensor.
Meters are loop powered. The analog 4-20 mA output signal offers your choice of volumetric
or mass flow rate. Mass flow rate is based on a constant value for fluid density stored in the
instrument’s memory.
Both the mass and volumetric flow meters can be ordered with a local keypad/display
which provides instantaneous flow rate, total, and process parameters in engineering units. A
pulse output signal for remote totalization and BACnet MS/TP, MODBUS RTU RS485 or HART
communications are also available. Digital electronics allow for easy reconfiguration for most gases,
liquids and steam. ONICON meters’ simple installation combines with an easy-to-use interface that
provides quick set up, long term reliability and accurate mass flow measurement over a wide range
of flows, pressures and temperatures.
