The flanged flow-metering transmitter of the Vympel-500 has two, four or eight measuring channels oriented in one or two planes.
One is the «working» plane, the other is a backup. If necessary, the second measuring plane can be used to engage the second electronics unit in order to duplicate/verify the readings of the first measuring unit. The four channels, arranged along the chords of the inner diameter of the pipeline, provide an optimal measurement of the flow profile, even in the presence of an asymmetry («swirl of the flow»).
