  • Page 14: Note And Safety Information

    Receipt of System Components When receiving a VorTek mass flow meter, carefully check the outside packing carton for damage incurred in shipment. If the carton is damaged, notify the local carrier and submit a report to the factory or distributor. Remove the packing slip and check that all ordered components are present.

  • Page 15: Velocity Measurement

    ™ Figure 1.1 - Insertion Turbine Multivariable Mass Flow Meters VorTek Model Pro-T™ Multivariable Insertion Turbine Mass Flow Meters are designed to monitor mass flow rate by directly measuring three variables–fluid velocity, temperature and pressure. The built-in flow computer calculates the mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate based on these three direct measurements.
  • Page 16 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Pro-T™ Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Flow Velocity Range To ensure trouble-free operation, turbine flow meters must be correctly sized so that the flow velocity range through the meter lies within the measurable velocity range. The measurable range is defined by the minimum and maximum velocity using the following table.
