Performance The ILVA is used in conjunction with linearising electronics such as Spirax Sarco flow computers or M750 display unit. Alternatively the output signal linearisation can be performed on an EMS/BEMS or equivalent.

Accuracy when used with Spirax Sarco flow computers or M750: ±1% of measured value from 5% to 100% of maximum rated flow. ±0.1% FSD from 1% to 5% of maximum rated flow. Repeatability better than 0.25% Turndown: up to 100:1

Caution : The Scanner 2000 mass flow transmitters can be configured at the factory to work with a single, specific ILVA flowmeter. For correct operation the configured transmitter must always be installed with its allocated flowmeter. Labels on the packaging give the serial numbers of the matched products.

Pressure drop The maximum pressure drop across the ILVA pipeline unit is 498 m bar (200 ins water gauge) at maximum rated flow.

Flow capacity To determine the capacity of the ILVA for different fluids, it is necessary to calculate the equivalent water flowrate Q E (in l/min) as described in Step 1, under the section 'sizing the ILVA' then selecting the appropriate size of flowmeter from the Table under Step 2 overleaf.

How to order Example: 1 off Spirax Sarco DN250 ILVA flowmeter for installation between EN 1092 PN40 flanges. The body material is to be 316 stainless steel. The flow medium will be saturated steam at 10 bar g and the maximum flow will be 28 000 kg/h.
