Supmea LUGB-SUP Vortex Flowmeter
Product Overview
The Supmea LUGB-SUP Vortex Flowmeter is a robust and accurate
device designed for measuring the flow rate of steam, gases, and
low-viscosity liquids in industrial pipelines. Based on the Karman
vortex principle, it generates vortices behind a bluff body,
detecting flow velocity through pressure fluctuations captured by a
piezoelectric crystal. Available in standard, temperature/pressure
compensated, and anti-vibration models, the LUGB-SUP ensures
reliable performance with no moving parts, minimal maintenance, and
high durability. With options for pulse, 4-20 mA, and RS485
outputs, it integrates seamlessly into control systems, making it a
cost-effective choice for petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, and
environmental protection industries.
Key Features
- Karman Vortex Principle: Measures flow by vortex shedding frequency, ideal for steam and
gases.
- No Moving Parts: Reduces wear and maintenance for long-term reliability.
- Temperature/Pressure Compensation: Optional models ensure accurate readings under varying
conditions.
- Anti-Vibration Design: Intelligent filtering for stable measurements in vibrating
pipelines.
- Wide Medium Compatibility: Handles steam, compressed air, nitrogen, and low-viscosity
liquids.
- Multiple Outputs: Pulse, 4-20 mA analog, RS485 (Modbus RTU) for easy integration.
- High Accuracy: ±1% of reading with low pressure loss.
- Durable Construction: IP65/IP68 protection, suitable for harsh environments.
- IoT and GPRS Options: Enables remote monitoring and data logging.
- Easy Installation: Flange or clamp-on designs with minimal straight pipe
requirements.
