A type of flow measurement device used to measure the flow rate of liquids, gases, and steam in industrial applications. It works on the principle of the Von Kármán effect, where vortices are created behind an obstruction in the flow, and the frequency of these vortices is proportional to the flow rate.
- Application: Used in industries like chemical, oil & gas, water treatment, and steam flow measurement.
- Design: Consists of a bluff body, sensor, transmitter, and flanged pipe for fluid passage.
- Function: Measures volumetric flow rate by detecting vortex shedding frequency.
- Working Principle: Based on the Von Kármán effect, where fluid passing an obstruction creates vortices, and their frequency is proportional to flow rate.
