Descripton
KFM 2100 Series is an advanced fow element that is suitable for liquid,
gas and steam fow measurement with high accuracy and repeatability.
Thanks to its patented design where a stream lined bullet shaped fow
element that causes a minimum disrupton to the fowing medium
providing unmatched fow turndown with very low pressure drop.
KFM 2100 series is available as a fow element separately as well as a
complete fow meter. In the frst opton, you have a choice of using a
diferental pressure transmiter of your preference. Alternatvely, we
can integrate the KFM fow element with a diferental pressure trans-
miter and supply as a fully calibrated unit.

PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
An elongated fow-body of streamlined shape transforms the incident fuid fow in such a way that the sensors response is im-
mune to fow regime and variatons in fow velocity profle. Dynamic pressures, P1 and P2, are measured in proximity to the
streamlined fow-body. One pressure-sensing port faces upstream, the other downstream. The two signals are combined in
a unique way to simultaneously measure fuid volumetric fow rate, mass fow rate and density (for gases).
P1 = V2 + P0
P2 = - V2 + P0
P0 = statc pressure
V = average fow velocity
= gas density = (P1+P2)/ (2ZRT)
Mass fow Qm= K x (P x )
Where K = meter constant
