All About the Vortex Type Flow Meter
2
Vortex Type Flow Meter
A vortex type flow meter is a velocity type flow
meter which tends to follow a linear relationship
with the volume flow rate. Hence, their
acceptability is better as compared to other flow
meters.  The vortex type flow meter is a flow
measurement device used for measuring the flow
velocity of gases and liquids where the
introduction of moving part induces the problem.
3
The Applications of the Flow Meter
The vortex type flow meter is utilized to measure
the flow and liquid in a certain container like
pipelines, tanks, industry-usable chambers.
Different operational modes and technicality
depend on the areas of application, functional
importance and nature of liquid. Velocity flow
measurement meters are widely used in the
commercial fields.

Principle Involved In the Functionality of the
Flow Meters
The Vortex type flow meters function under the 
vortex shedding principle.    St f

Components Types of Vortex Flow Meter
There are few limits to be considered before
doing selection of the flow meter. 1. What
fluid is being measured 2. The range of flow rate
and pressure 3. Fluid temperature and density 4.
Pipe size 5. Viscosity range Smart vortex
meters supply digital output signal containing
data apart from flow rate.
