Spiraflo Steam Flowmeters - Spirax Sarco

4
Using a Spiraflo steam meter from Spirax Sarco will enable you
to measure steam use accurately under all load conditions.
It will provide vital information on usage and associated
costs which can improve efficiency in four key areas:-
Plant efficiency
Is idle machinery switched off ?
Is plant loaded to optimum efficiency ?
Identify cleaning and / or maintenance needs.
Identify major steam users.
Highlight peak steam usage times.
Indicate whether working practices are
satisfactory.
Energy efficiency
Monitor the results of energy saving
schemes.
Compare the efficiency of various
pieces of plant.
Process control
Confirm if the correct quantity of steam
at the right pressure and temperature
is being supplied.

Installation
All flow meters must be correctly installed. For steam systems in particular, care must be taken to ensure correct line drainage and that
adequate lengths of upstream and downstream straight pipe runs are provided. With only six upstream pipe diameters and three
downstream pipe diameters required, Spiraflo installations are extremely compact.
