What is a vortex flowmeter?

Vortex flowmeters have a bluff body that causes vortices to form alternately on both sides of the obstruction. The frequency of the vortices is proportional to the flow velocity. The volumetric flow rate can be calculated from the flow velocity when the pipe diameter is known.

The advantage of vortex measurement is its simplicity, versatility, and affordability. It is suitable for many applications.

Selection of vortex flowmeter

Vortex meters are suitable for measuring low-viscosity liquids and gases.

The electronics can also be supplied separately, allowing the meter to be used at high temperatures. Both flange-mounted and between-flange models are available.
