Flow Measurement of Steam
Flow measurement of saturated steam up to 180 °C
Easy to Retrofit Steam Measurement for the Food Industry
Saturated steam plays an important role in the food & beverage industry, primarily for processes such as cooking, heating, sterilization and pasteurization.
Monitoring the mass flow of saturated steam is essential for several reasons. Accurate flow measurements ensure that the correct amount of steam is delivered, preventing under or over-processing of food products. This precision helps in maintaining consistent product quality and adherence to safety standards.
Moreover, proper steam flow monitoring enhances energy efficiency by optimizing steam usage, leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact.

The Flexim FLUXUS G532 ST-LT, is a tailor-made solution for all typical applications for saturated steam up to a temperature of 356°F. Measuring the volume of steam from outside the pipe in a non-intrusive manner. For users, this means important advantages when considering the total cost of operating a measuring point: Simple installation without cutting or welding work on the pipeline. No downtime necessary - the system remains fully available for current production, without any production losses. The transit time difference principle already works at 0.03 ft/s and does not need any reduction to the diameter of the pipe to artificially increase the flow velocity. This means there is no loss of pressure, and accordingly no loss of energy.
- Non-intrusive steam measurement up to 180 °C (356 °F).
- Installation, commissioning and maintenance without process interruption.
- Installation any time - no waiting for planned downtime and revisions.
The Flexim FLUXUS ST measures steam flow non-intrusively from the outside of the pipe, the portable acoustic measuring method proves to be impressive with its exceptionally high measuring dynamics, high sensitivity at very low flow velocities and independence to flow direction. Due to this large flow range (flow velocities up to 200ft/s), there is no need to reduce pipe diameter to fit an inline meter’s requirement of minimum flow velocity. Moreover, the non-intrusive measurement does not cause any pressure loss. The transducer mounts can be completely insulated to reduce any heat loss to the environment. FLUXUS ST has no moving parts. Therefore, FLUXUS ST is not subject to wear and tear and does not require any maintenance.
- Portable and non-intrusive - measuring of liquids, gases, compressed air, thermal energy and steam flow in one device.
- The ideal tool for energy management and maintenance.
- Non-intrusive measurement for precise bi-directional, highly dynamic compressed air, gas, liquid and thermal energy flow rates.
