LUDC/S Micro‑Bore Vortex Flow Meter: The Ideal Solution for Small‑Pipe Flow Measurement
LUDC/S Series Small Diameter Vortex Flow Meter | High Precision for Liquids & Gases DN8–DN15
Meta Description
LUDC/S micro‑bore vortex flow meter for DN8/12/15 small pipes. Measures liquids & gases, 4–20mA + RS485/Modbus, 316SS, IP65, low pressure loss. Ideal for precision industrial flow monitoring.
1. Introduction
For small‑diameter pipeline flow measurement, traditional meters often face issues like large pressure loss, poor low‑flow sensitivity, and unsuitable dimensions. The LUDC/S Series Micro‑Bore Intelligent Vortex Flow Meter from Suzhou Beite Smart Instrument solves these pain points. Designed for DN8, DN12, DN15 small pipes, it delivers stable, accurate flow measurement for both liquids and gases with long‑term reliability.
2. Working Principle
Based on the von Kármán vortex street principle, the meter uses a piezoelectric stress sensor to detect vortex frequency, which is directly proportional to flow velocity. The meter converts frequency into standard output signals, nearly unaffected by fluid density, pressure, temperature, or viscosity. With no moving parts, it ensures high stability and minimal maintenance.
3. Core Advantages
- Ultra‑small bore support: DN8 / DN12 / DN15, perfect for compact systems
- Wide media compatibility: Measures liquids and gases
- Dual output options: 4–20mA analog + RS485 (Modbus‑RTU) for PLC/SCADA
- Premium material: 316 stainless steel body, corrosion‑resistant
- High protection: IP65, suitable for harsh industrial environments
- Low pressure loss: Optimized flow path reduces energy consumption
- Local display: Shows instantaneous flow, total flow, velocity, temperature, current
