Vortex flowmeter with one process connection for SIL 3 applications.

Modern flowmeters are generally equipped with SIL 2/3 approval. This means that they meet the structural constraint of SIL 2 on a single channel basis, and can be used redundantly in a SIL 3 application. However, a redundant design always means that there are four instead of only two flange connections, as well ass significantly greater overall length that has to be planned.
OPTISWIRL 4200 Dual Vortex flowmeter – Version with two sensors and two converters

For flow measurement with a vortex device, there is now a much simpler solution for SIL 3 applications: With the OPTISWIRL 4200 Dual, a redundant flowmeter with only two flange connections, is available that can even be programmed separately for two different media in multiproducts.
