Is your flowmeter suitable for metering steam?

摘要

COST savings are probably the major benefit of steam metering. Companies can often save up to 10 percent on their fuel bills with no capital expenditure other than the meters themselves. Steam metering can be important for process control too, by showing whether the correct quantity of steam at a specific temperature and pressure is being supplied to a process. This is often vital in the chemical industry, where some processes must be controlled to within a fraction of a degree. Meters linked to modulating valves can also be used to control the rate of flow of steam to a process during start up to ensure safe and cost-effective warm-up periods.
