The characteristics and technical requirements of vortex flowmeter

Apr 14, 2022 Leave a message

Vortex flowmeter is a volume flowmeter that measures the volume flow, standard volume flow or mass flow of gas, steam or liquid according to the Karman vortex principle. It is mainly used for flow measurement of medium and fluid in industrial pipelines, such as gas, liquid, steam and other media.


It is characterized by small pressure loss, large measuring range, high precision, and is almost not affected by parameters such as fluid density, pressure, temperature, viscosity, etc. when measuring the volume flow of the working condition. No moving mechanical parts, so high reliability and low maintenance. Instrument parameters can be stable for a long time. The vortex flowmeter adopts piezoelectric stress sensor, which has high reliability and can work in the working temperature range of -20℃~+250℃. There are analog standard signals and digital pulse signal output, which is easy to be used with digital systems such as computers. It is a relatively advanced and ideal measuring instrument.
