How Verabar Works Flo w Hi + - Pressure Low Pressure Low Pressure Vortices Average Velocity Flow DP High Pressure Verabar's superior performance is due to its shape, surface roughness, and low pressure port location Verabar senses and averages the natural pressures created by the velocity profile 5
Verabar Outperforms Other Insert Meters Velocity profiles vary with upstream pipe configuration and disturbances. Verabar ±1% Other Textbook Profile Actual Profiles ±10% Location of Average Velocity The Verabar averages the profile. Other insert meters only sense a single point. 6
Bullet Shape Sensor Generates Accurate & Trouble-Free Performance No clogging Stable signal Low drag and increased structural strength Solid one-piece construction Vortices Frontal surface roughness lowers drag and extends accuracy range Pressure ports are forward of separation point to eliminate clogging and produce stable signal 7
Verabar's Non-Clog Design Low-pressure ports located on sensor sides virtually eliminate clogging and produce an extremely stable signal 8
Advantages of Frontal Surface Roughness Turbulent Boundary Layer: Lowers drag and vortex- shedding forces by 50% Predictable, constant drag coefficient Dormant/Laminar Boundary Layer: Increases drag and vortex-shedding forces Unpredictable drag coefficient Verabar's Roughened Surface Competitors Smooth Surface Wake Separation point Verabar's relative lowpressure sensing port location Wake Relative low - pressure port locations Variable separation point 9
Verabar's No-Leak Construction Verabar Flow Sensor Solid, one-piece construction No leaks between chambers Verabar Competitors' Construction Tubes within a tube can leak due to vibration or changes in pressure or temperature Round, Diamond and T Shapes L H L H L H L 10
Exclusive Benefits of Verabar Flow Sensor Improved accuracy and turndown Eliminates clogging of sensor ports Superior signal stability Lowers drag, flow-induced vibration 5-year performance warranty Up to 2500 LB ANSI, 6000 PSI and 1000 Deg F Square and Rectangular Ducts, Large Stacks 1.5 22 feet in length 11

36 Armstrong Vortex Meter
Armstrong Vortex Meter A Little History Lesson: Vortices were first observed by Leonardo De Vinci in the early 1500 s About 400 years later Theodore von Kármán observed the repeating pattern of swirling vortices caused by the unsteady separation of flow of a fluid around blunt bodies, named the von Kármán vortex street 37
