SECTION 1.0: INTRODUCTION
We, at ONICON INCORPORATED, would like to thank you for purchasing our F-2200 Series Vortex Flow
Meter. As our valued customer, our commitment to you is to provide fast reliable service and assistance,
while continuing to offer you new products to meet your growing ow measurement needs.
1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE
The purpose of this guide is to provide installation and commissioning procedures and basic
operating and servicing instructions for ONICON F-2200 Series Vortex Flow Meters.
WARNING
!
Only quali ed service personnel should attempt to install or service this equipment. Serious injury
may result from the improper installation or use of this equipment.
1.2 PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION
ONICON F-2000 series vortex ow meters utilize Karman’s vortex street principal to detect changes
in velocity in the medium owing around the titanium shedder bar and through the meter body. A
volumetric ow rate is then derived by utilizing the known cross-sectional area of the meter body
and the average velocity of the medium. When provided with optional temperature and/or pressure
compensation the F-2000 series ow meters are capable of calculating the required density
corrections necessary to provide direct mass ow measurement of liquids, steam or gases.
