Gilflo ILVA Flowmeters
for steam, liquids and gases

Gilflo ILVA Flowmeters will help you implement cost reduction
by accurately metering the energy you use. This can lead to
improved profitability and a reduction in your carbon footprint.

The Spirax Sarco Gilflo ILVA Flowmeter is perfectly suited for use with most industrial fluids including
steam, gases and liquids.

The benefits of flowmetering
Of all the costs your company can control, your energy bill is one of
the largest. With the high cost of fuel, it is increasingly important
to accurately meter the energy you consume - because the better
you understand how and where you use your energy, the easier it
is to manage and effectively control.

Spirax Sarco can offer you a range of flowmetering technologies to
suit every application so you always have the correct solution for
your plant.

The benefit of high turndown                                                     The benefit of compact installation
Due to its profiled cone and spring, the Gilflo ILVA is                          The Gilflo ILVA profiles the flow, which allows installation

DN250 and DN300 Gilflo ILVA Flowmeters now come with a compact stem

The wafer design of Spirax Sarco’s Gilflo ILVA Flowmeter requires less space when ordered with the compact stem.

The compact stem directly connects the Gilflo ILVA and the DP transmitter which saves on both installation time and cost when
compared to installations using impulse lines. This reduces plant downtime, lowering costs and impacting less on productivity.

              Compact Stem replaces traditional impulse
              lines reducing installation complexity

              Simple bolt-together assembly
              reduces installation time and cost

              Differential pressure and static pressure
              measured to supply mass flow without
              need for additional instrumentation

The Gilfo ILVA is just one of a comprehensive range of products that
have been developed by Spirax Sarco to meet the needs of their
customers.
