The Gilflo ILVA flowmeter operates on the spring loaded variable
area principle and produces a differential pressure related to the
rate of flow. It can be used with most industrial fluids, gases
and both saturated and superheated steam. A general description
of the ILVA flowmetering system and its associated equipment
is given in a separate TI sheet.
DN50, DN80, DN100, DN150, DN200. For DN250 and DN300
sizes see separate literature.
Suitable for fitting between the following flanges:
EN 1092 PN16, PN25 and PN40.
BS 10 Table H.
ASME B 16.5 Class 150, 300 and 600.
JIS 20.
KS 20.
The Gilflo ILVA flowmeter should be installed in pipework
manufactured to BS 1600 or ASME B 36.10 Schedule 40.
For different pipe standards/schedules downstream spool
pieces with equivalent internal diameter as in BS 1600 or
ASME B 36.10 Schedule 40 should be used. If this is not
possible, please contact Spirax-Sarco Limited.

The Gilflo ILVA is designed to be used in conjunction with linearising
electronics such as the range of 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: Scanner 2000 steam mass flow transmitters are
uniquely configured at the factory to work with a single, specific
Gilflo ILVA flowmeter. For correct operation the configured
Scanner 2000 transmitter must always be installed with its
allocated flowmeter. Labels on the packaging give the serial
numbers of the matched products.
The maximum pressure drop across the Gilflo ILVA pipeline unit
is 498 m bar (200 ins water gauge) at maximum rated flow.
To determine the capacity of the Gilflo ILVA for different fluids, it
is necessary to calculate the equivalent water flowrate Q (in l / min)
as described in Step 1, under the section 'sizing the Gilflo ILVA'
then selecting the appropriate size of flowmeter from the Table
under Step 2 overleaf.
Example: 1 off Spirax Sarco DN150 Gilflo ILVA flowmeter for
installation between flanges to EN 1092 PN40. Body material
316 stainless steel. Flow medium saturated steam at 10 bar g,
maximum flow 8 000 kg / h.
