FAQ

  • Q: Can the VY Series flowmeter measure multi-phase flows such as gas-liquid mixtures?

    • A: No. While the flowmeter handles liquid, gas, and steam independently within the same structure, accurate measurement of mixed multi-phase flows (such as bubble or mist flows) is not possible.

  • Q: How is zero adjustment performed if the meter outputs a signal during zero flow?

    • A: Although zero drift is minimal due to the frequency output sensor, you can perform manual low-cut adjustments or execute “Tuning at zero” (Zero Tuning) via the configuration tool or indicator when the fluid flow is completely stopped.

  • Q: What should be checked if the indication drops to zero while fluid is flowing?

    • A: Check for potential coating or scaling on the vortex shedder bar or inner tube, verify that parameter configurations match operating conditions, and ensure the low-cut or TLA values are correctly set.
