VorCone® flowmeters utilize two different flowmeter technologies in combination; vortex and differential pressure. The design has blended the two separate flow metering principles into one hybrid system where the two meters complement each other's performance. This combination allows for the prediction of the fluid density, volumetric flow rate, and mass flow rate without any fluid density information being required from an external source.
This ability to measure fluid density allows the meter to provide several valuable outputs. The VorCone meter can calculate the density of changing gas mixtures. For example, natural gas is typically a composition of many different gases which can vary over time and vary by application. In saturated steam service, the meter produces a reliable steam quality (dryness) measurement and steam mass flow rate reading. In wet natural gas service, the meter can provide a reliable liquid loading measurement and gas mass flow rate reading. These are a few examples of the unique capabilities of the VorCone meter.
VorCone®流量计结合使用两种不同的流量计技术：旋涡和压差。该设计将两种独立的流量计量原理融合到一个混合系统中，其中两种仪表的性能互补。这种组合可以预测流体密度、体积流量和质量流量，而无需从外部来源获得任何流体密度信息。
这种测量流体密度的能力允许仪表提供几个有价值的输出。VorCone流量计可以计算变化的气体混合物的密度。例如，天然气通常由许多不同的气体组成，这些气体会随时间和应用而变化。在饱和蒸汽服务中，该仪表产生可靠的蒸汽质量(干度)测量和蒸汽质量流量读数。在湿天然气服务中，该仪表可以提供可靠的液体负载测量和气体质量流量读数。这些是VorCone仪表功能的几个例子。
