TFA Saturated Steam Flowmeter
The TFA is a target-principle wafer flowmeter for saturated steam, with density-compensated mass-flow or power measurement, DN25-DN50 sizes, and RS232 or RS485 communication configurations.
How to choose the right flowmetering route
Flowmeter selection is easier when the project starts with fluid type, load profile and the quality of data the plant needs to act on. The real decision is not just which meter fits the line, but which technology remains useful across the operating range and whether the site also needs energy or mass-flow outputs.
| Route | Best fit when | Main strength | Next route |
|---|---|---|---|
| TFA and TVA target flowmeters | The duty is focused on saturated or superheated steam and installation space may be restricted | Compact steam metering with no moving parts | Browse target flowmeters |
| Gilflo and ILVA flowmeters | Load variation is large and strong low-flow performance matters | Wide turndown for steam, gas and liquid duties | Browse Gilflo and ILVA flowmeters |
| Flow computers and transmitters | The installation needs totalisation, remote outputs or energy measurement | Turns meter readings into actionable plant data | Browse flow computers and transmitters |
Typical routes from common flowmeter searches
Flowmeter searches usually separate by fluid condition and the type of data the plant needs. Start with target flowmeters when the duty is steam-focused and compact installation matters. Use saturated steam flowmeters for smaller saturated-steam duties, and compare TVA flowmeters when saturated or superheated steam visibility is needed in tighter pipework.
If the installation sees large load swings and low-flow visibility matters more than a basic point reading, review Gilflo flowmeters. Where the project also needs totalisation, outputs or energy calculations, add flow computers to the metering route.
TVA Steam Flowmeter
Integrated target-type flowmeter for saturated steam and, with the dedicated pressure sensor kit, superheated steam. Density compensation, local display, totalisation, 4-20 mA, pulse and Modbus communication support are combined i
