Always remove main power before disassembling any part of the mass flow meter. Caution! Calibration must be performed by qualified personnel. VorTek Instruments, Inc., strongly rec- ommends that you return your flow meter to the factory for calibration. In order to achieve accurate and repeatable performance, the flow meter must be in- stalled with the specified minimum length of straight pipe upstream and downstream of the flow meter’s sensor head.

Chapter 1 Introduction Pro-V™ Vortex Flow Meters The VorTek Instruments’ Model M22 In-Line and the Model M23 Inser- tion Pro-V™ Vortex Flow Meters provide a reliable solution for process flow measurement. From a single entry point in the pipeline, Pro-V me- ters offer precise measurements of mass or volumetric flow.
Receipt of System Components When receiving a VorTek flow meter, carefully check the outside pack- ing carton for damage incurred in shipment. If the carton is damaged, no- tify the local carrier and submit a report to the factory or distributor. Re- move the packing slip and check that all ordered components are present.
How the Pro-V Vortex Flow Meter Operates Figure 1-1. Model M22 In-Line Vortex Flow Meter ™ VorTek Model M22 and M23 Pro-V Vortex Flow Meters use a unique velocity sensor head to monitor volumetric flow rate. The built-in flow computer calculates mass flow rate based on a constant value of fluid density stored in the instrument’s memory.

Chapter 1 Introduction Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual Vortex Shedding Frequency Von Karman vortices form downstream of a shedder bar into two distinct wakes. The vortices of one wake rotate clockwise while those of the other wake rotate counterclockwise. Vortices generate one at a time, al- ternating from the left side to the right side of the shedder bar.

Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Flow Velocity Range To ensure trouble-free operation, vortex flow meters must be correctly sized so that the flow velocity range through the meter lies within the measurable velocity range (with acceptable pressure drop) and the linear range.
Page 12
Chapter 1 Introduction Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual ™ As shown below, Pro-V Vortex Flow Meters exhibit a constant Strou- hal number across a large range of Reynolds numbers, indicating a con- sistent linear output over a wide range of flows and fluid types. Below this linear range, the intelligent electronics in Pro-V automatically cor- rects for the variation in the Strouhal number.
Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Flow Meter Configurations Pro-V™ Vortex Flow Meters are available in two configurations: • Model M22 in-line flow meter (replaces a section of the pipeline) • Model M23 insertion flow meter (requires a “cold” tap or a “hot” tap into an existing pipeline) Both the in-line and insertion configurations are similar in that they both use identical electronics and have similar sensor heads.

Chapter 1 Introduction Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual The meter includes a local 2 x 16 character LCD display housed within the enclosure. Local operation and reconfiguration is accomplished using six push buttons. For hazardous locations, the six push buttons can be operated through the sealed enclosure using a hand-held magnet, thereby not compromising the integrity of the hazardous location certification.
Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual Chapter 2 Installation Chapter 2 Installation Installation Overview Pro-V™ meter installations are simple and straightforward. Both the Series M22 In-Line and Series M23 Insertion type flow meter installations are cov- ered in this chapter. After reviewing the installation requirements given be- low, see page 2-3 for Series M22 installation instructions.
Chapter 2 Installation Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual Unobstructed Flow Requirements Select an installation site that will minimize possible distortion in the flow profile. Valves, elbows, control valves and other piping components may cause flow disturbances. Check your specific piping condition against the ex- amples shown below.

Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual Chapter 2 Installation Series M22 In-Line Flow Meter Installation Install the Series M22 In-Line Flow Meter between two conventional pipe flanges as shown in Figures 2-3 and 2-4. Table 2-1 provides the recom- mended minimum stud bolt lengths for wafer-style meter body size and dif- ferent flange ratings.
Chapter 2 Installation Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual Wafer-Style Flow Meter Installation Install the wafer-style meter between two conventional pipe flanges of the same nominal size as the flow meter. If the process fluid is a liquid, make sure the meter is located where the pipe is always full. This may require lo- cating the meter at a low point in the piping system.

Model M22/M23 Instruction Manual Chapter 2 Installation Flow Meter Insertion The sensor head must be properly positioned in the pipe. For this reason, it is important that insertion length calculations are carefully followed. A sensor probe inserted at the wrong depth in the pipe will result in inaccurate readings. Insertion flow meters are applicable to pipes 2 inch and larger.
