THE METER OF CHOICE
Since 1906, the Cadillac® Condensate Meter has been acknowledged as the industry standard.
The Cadillac® Condensate Meter is a totalizing meter which measures liquid or condensate. In any steam system where condensate is available, the condensate meter is the number one choice. This is because of Cadillac®’s accuracy, reliability and infinite rangeability.
The underlying principle of the Condensate Meter is this: one pound of steam equals one pound of water. Based on this principle, the volume of the condensate measurement can be converted into a measurement of steam consumption. The meter does this by measuring the volume of condensate while adjusting for the density. This produces a reading in pounds
Steam is measured either as a commodity to be bought and sold, or to determine the efficiency of a given system. Therefore, the efficiency and reliability of the metering equipment cannot be over-emphasized.
No other meter has the capability to measure full rated capacity or a drop at a time, while maintaining an accuracy of +/-1% of the flow rate (optional drums calibrated to accuracy of +/-0.50% of the flow rate). This is important because steam loads vary widely with seasons and time of day. Cadillac® Condensate Meters can handle all such variations and are not affected by any pressure fluctuations in the steam system.
