1.1 Product Description

LUGB series Vortex flow meters are designed for measuring the volume/mass flow of liquids, gases
and steam based on Karman vortex principle.
Adopting advanced differential algorithm along with measurement of isolation, shielding and wave
filtering, LUGB series vortex flow meters have the advantages of immunity on vibration and noise.
Meanwhile, the liabilities of LUGB series vortex flow meters are well guaranteed by unique sensor
packaging technology.

Upon receipt, examine your meter for visible damage. The Vortex is a precision measuring instrument
and should be handled carefully. Remove the protective plugs and caps for a thorough inspection. If
any items are damaged or missing, contact us.
Make sure the Vortex flow model meets your specific needs. For your future reference, it might be
useful to record this information on nameplate in the manual in case it becomes unreadable on the
Vortex. Refer to the nameplate for your customized products specification.

4. Cautions for Installation

4.1 Mounting Positions

Pipes must be fully filled with liquids. It is essential that pipes remain fully filled at all times,
otherwise flow rate indications may be affected and measurement errors may be caused.

Avoid Air Bubbles. If air bubbles enter a measurement pipe, flow rate indications may be
affected and measurement errors may be caused.

Avoid all pipe locations where the flow is pulsating, such as in the outlet side of piston or
diaphragm pumps.

Avoid locations near equipment producing electrical interference such as electric motors,
transformers, variable frequency, etc.

Install the meter with enough room for future access for maintenance purposes.
Warning: Precaution for direct sunshine and rain when the meter is installed outside.

4.2 Required Lengths of Straight Runs

Flow altering device such as elbows, valves and reducers can affect accuracy. See diagram below for
typical flow meter system installation.

Diagram 1. Typical Flow Meter System Installation

The recommended guidelines are given to enhance accuracy and maximize performance. Distance
given here are minimum requirements; double them for desired straight pipe lengths.

Upstream: allow a minimum straight pipe length at least 10 times the internal diameter of the
pipe. For example, with the 50mm pipe, there should be 500mm of straight pipe immediately
upstream. Desired upstream straight pipe length is 1000mm.
7

Downstream: allow a minimum straight pipe length at least 5 times the internal diameter of
the pipe. For example, with the 50mm pipe, there should be 250mm of straight pipe
immediately upstream. Desired upstream straight pipe length is 500mm.

4.3 Anti-Cavitation (When the fluid is liquid)

Cavitation can be caused by entrained air. An amount higher than about 100 mg/l of entrained air or
gas can produce error. In addition, cavitation can be caused by too little backpressure on the flow
meter. For our Vortex flow meters, you should provide a backpressure (downstream pressure) of at
least 1.25 times the vapor pressure, plus 2 times the pressure drop through the flow meter. See
formula 1.
Formula 1: Pb 1.25Pv + 2 (Pin Pout)
In formula 1: (Pb: Back pressure; Pv: Vapor Pressure; Pin: Inlet Pressure; Pout: Outlet Pressure)

Create backpressure by installing a control valve on the downstream side of the meter at the proper
distance detailed above.

Special Notice

When the fluid is liquid, to ensure accurate measurement, drain all air from the system before
use.
When the meter contains removable coverplates. Leave the coverplate installed unless
accessory modules specify removal. Dont remove the coverplates when the meter is powered,
or electrical shock and explosion hazard can be caused.

1. Select a suitable position where with enough straight

pipe at downstream and upstream.
2. Open a hole 100.
3. Welding a 109 X 4.5mm tube with base seat and
welding on to hole 100, keep the welded pipe
straight up.
4. Install a ball valve;
5. Open the ball valve, insert the flowmeter probe into the
pipe, adjust the insertion length (L2=0.5D), make sure
the probe center at the center line of pipe.
6. Adjust the flow direction
7. Tighten the ball valve and screwed rod seat.
Note: upstream straight pipe length >=20D, downstream
straight pipe length >=7D. if cant satisfy this length, may
calibrate the meter on site, and adopt the actual
calibrated meter factor K.

6. Programming and Setup

: All flowmeters are tested and calibrated prior to leaving the factory, and the
unique
K-factor is provided on the calibration certificate. Keep the calibration certificate well to
avoid the loss of K-factor.
6.1 LUGB-N; No display; Pulse Output

Customer should set the correct K-factor into PLC or Flow totalizer in order to get the correct flow
rate.

6.2 LUGB-A; No display; 4-20mA Output

Only perform the Zero Point Calibration where its necessary.

6.2.1 Zero Point Calibration
(1) Shut off the value where the flowmeter is installed, ensure there is no flow rate in pipe.
(2) Put high accuracy amperometer into the circuit loop as series connection.
(3) Adjust the potentiometer W502 to make sure the display on amperometer is 4mA.

6.2.2 Full Scale Calibration: its ONLY available for factory; return the flowmeter to factory for full scale
calibration where is applicable.
