TFA Flowmeter

Brand: Spirax Sarco

The Spirax Sarco TFA flowmeter is designed for use on saturated steam only and operates on the target principle, by measuring the force produced on a target by the fluid flow.

This force is then converted into density compensated mass flowrate or power and is transmitted via a single loop powered 4-20 mA and pulsed output.

TFA flowmeters also incorporate a totalized flow function and EIA 232C (RS232) or EIA 485C (RS485) Modbus communications.

The TFA flowmeter has inbuilt electronics which give a density compensated output.

The LCD display is incorporated within the electronics head and can show totaliser, flowrate, power, pressure and temperature.

An M750 display unit can be used to provide a remote display function if required, utilising the 4 - 20 mA output.

As the TFA flowmeter is a self contained unit, the uncertainty quoted is for the complete system.

Many flowmeters claim a pipeline unit uncertainty but for a true system uncertainty, the individual uncertainty values of any associated equipment, such as DP cells, need to be added to the pipeline value.
