Reduced Engineering, Installation and Commissioning Costs

• Rosemount sizes vortex meters for every application reducing Engineering Costs.
• Reducer™ Vortex to eliminate the need for field installed reducers
• Vortex meters can save up to 40% in installation costs over traditional flowmeter installations.
• Rosemount Vortex Flowmeters arrive pre-configured, hydrostatically tested, and ready to install.

Increased Plant Availability

• Avoid costly unscheduled shutdowns due to undetected process changes
• Rosemount vortex features a non-clog meter body that eliminates the possibility of plugged impulse lines or torn diaphragms on remote seals
• Able to replace sensor without breaking process seals

Reduced Maintenance Costs

• Eliminates maintenance costs associated with impulse lines such as clogging and purging
• No periodic recalibration required
• One spare sensor works for all meters

Increased Safety and Environmental Compliance
