The ORIMAS & STEEMCO-MAS flow meters measure the mass flow of most gasses, liquids and steam. With a compact design, they combine the measurement of velocity, static pressure and temperature into one unit. The electronics computerise the mass flow by using the 3 measured values.
The mass flow meters are backed by international standards covering both flow calculation, manufacturing tolerances, accuracy and installation requirements. They are suitable for application within process industries, pharmaceuticals and the power industry.

Remote Mounting Kit Type RMK is available if remote mounting of electronics is required in case of not easy accessible pipe line or elevated process temperature. The customer has to provide the stainless steel instrument tube Ø 12 x 1 mm between the flow meter and electronics |
Both the ORIMAS and the STEEMCO-MAS consist of a primary element based on the differential pressure principle, an option of an integrated 3 valve manifold or a manifold flange and a temperature sensor. STEEMCO-MAS will also be equipped with a condensing chamber. When inquiring for STEEMCO-MAS for mass flow measurement of steam it is important to us of the flow direction for your vertical or horizontal pipe.
The ORIMAS & STEEMCO-MAS flow meters can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical pipe. For liquid flow in a horizontal pipe the electronics shall be mounted
below the pipe. For gas flow in a horizontal pipe the electronics shall be mounted above the pipe. For steam flow measurement the condensing pot arrangement shall be mounted horizontally with the outlet pointing downwards. To insure high accuracy of measurement, long straight pipe runs upstream from the mass flow meter is necessary. The required straight pipe run depends on the disturbance upstream. To maintain the 1% accuracy (1,2 % for STEEMCO-MAS) the minimum straight pipe run upstream shall be 14 x inner pipe diameter and 6 x downstream. If an additional inaccuracy of ½ % is acceptable the required straight pipe runs are reduced to half of the above values.
