Pro-V M24 Multivariable Vortex Flowmeter
The VorTek Instruments Pro-V® model M24 Multivariable Vortex Flowmeter offers accurate and reliable flow metering in a multivariable design. The multivariable design incorporates a high-accuracy velocity sensor, a precision platinum RTD temperature sensor, and a solid-state pressure transducer. The M24 can deliver volumetric flow, mass flow, temperature, pressure, density, and energy (BTU) measurements from a single installed device. This drastically reduces complexity, equipment costs, and installation costs in comparison to installing multiple stand-alone instruments to arrive at the same process measurements.
The M24 includes a reduced bore option. The meter's process connections match the line size but by using integrated reducing flanges, the meter body is reduced in diameter. This increases the fluid velocity through the meter. Increasing the velocity in this fashion extends the meter's measuring range to capture lower flow rates that might otherwise be missed in a full line-size meter. This reduced bore option also shares the same face-to-face dimension as a standard M24 meter for pressure classes up to ANSI 600. So if process conditions change, the meter body size can be changed without any costly piping modifications. This is especially useful in project planning, as it allows for flexibility into the future.
The Pro-V M24 Multivariable Vortex Flowmeter flowmeter offers an industry-leading variety of communication and power options. In addition to providing traditional communication methods such as analog output signals, the flowmeter also offers the latest and most advanced serial communication options such as BACnet®/IP and Modbus® TCP/IP. The M24 is the only vortex flowmeter on the market to provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. Power over Ethernet functionality delivers power and data through a single ethernet cable. Both simplifying installation and reducing installation costs.

As flow passes a bluff body in the flow stream, the vortices create low and high-pressure zones behind the bluff body or shedder bar. The Pro-V™ M24 uses a piezoelectric crystal sensor to detect the pressure exerted by the vortices on the velocity sensor. The piezoelectric converts these “pulses” into electrical signals. The meter uses an all-welded sensor design to create a robust sensor and to minimise potential leakages.
The Model M24-VTP offers you flow computer functionality in a compact field device. This multivariable instrument incorporates temperature and pressure sensors to provide an instantaneous reading of the compensated mass flow rate of gases, liquids, and steam. In addition to outputs for totalized mass and alarm settings, the field-configurable electronics deliver up to three analog 4-20 mA outputs of five process measurements, including volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate, pressure, temperature, and density.
The Model M24-VT integrates a precision 1000 Ohm platinum RTD temperature sensor that can be used to calculate and output a compensated mass reading. This device is typically used to measure the flow rates of saturated steam.
Pro-V™ Model M24-V
The Model M24-V delivers a direct reading of volumetric flow rate–generally the most cost-effective solution for liquid flow monitoring–-in applications ranging from general water flows to hydrocarbon fuel flow measurement.
Pro-V™ Model M24-EM
The Model M24 Energy Monitoring option permits real-time calculation of energy consumption for a facility or process. The meter can be programmed to measure steam, hot water, or chilled water. The Model M24-VTP flowmeter monitors one side of the process, either sent or returned, and uses the input from a second separate temperature sensor on the opposite leg of the process to calculate the change in energy. Selectable energy units include Btu, joules, calories, Watt-hours, Megawatt-hours, and Horsepower-hours. The local or remote electronics indicate two temperatures, delta T, mass total, and energy total.
Pro-V™ Model M24-VTEP, VETEP
Similar to M24-VTP but with the option for external input (T or P) via RTD or 4-20mA or one of each.
