Optiswirl 4200

Selection Parameters — What They Mean (Client Quick Guide)

  1. Versatile media coverage — Measures liquids, gases and steam (even superheated), so one meter can cover multiple streams in a plant.

  2. Integrated PT (and optional P) compensation — Accurate mass/energy, net-heat measurement for steam or variable-temperature fluids, reducing need for separate sensors or calculators.

  3. Wide size range (DN15–DN300 + wafer) — Suitable for small process lines to large utility distribution pipelines.

  4. Robust in harsh conditions — Stainless-steel, welded construction handles corrosive, high-pressure, high-temperature environments.

  5. Low installation & maintenance overhead — No moving parts; all-in-one flow + temp + (optionally) pressure measuring electronics simplifies installation, lowers maintenance.

  6. Industry-grade outputs & integration — 4-20 mA / HART / FF / Profibus allow seamless integration into DCS/SCADA for utility/energy or process control systems.

  7. Good signal / noise filtering — AVFD technology ensures stable readings even under fluctuating flow or process conditions.

  8. Energy & heat measurement capability — For steam/hot water networks where heat flow (kWh, energy usage) needs to be tracked (energy audits, ISO 50001 compliance).

  9. Flexible mounting — Flanged or wafer versions, with option of remote converter; useful where space is limited or for retrofit in existing lines.

  10. SIS / Safety-ready — SIL 2/3 certification for safety-critical applications — good for boiler feed, steam distribution, utility loops, etc.

Description

Optiswirl 4200 is a versatile vortex flowmeter for liquids, gases and steam — including saturated and superheated steam. With integrated temperature (and optional pressure) compensation plus built-in energy (gross/net heat) computation, it is ideal for utilities, steam/condensate networks, HVAC, chemical, water and industrial energy-management applications. Reliable, robust and suitable for harsh process conditions.
