Principle of Operation

The vortex flowmeter operates by placing a drum vertically in a burette, allowing fluid to flow down and form regular vortexes known as the Karman Street. The output frequency of these vortexes is related to fluid velocity and drum diameter, described by the formula: v f = St * d, where St is the Strohar number. The frequency is directly proportional to velocity, allowing for instantaneous flow rate calculation.

Flow Range

Tables provide detailed flow ranges for various diameters (DN) and pressures, with specific values for water and gas. The factory-calibrated fluids are water or air.

Outline Dimensions

Dimensions and weights are provided for wafer and flange connection types, with specific measurements for different DN sizes.

Straight Pipe Requirements

Minimum straight pipe lengths are specified for various connection types to ensure accurate measurements.

Type Description and Ordering Information

The document includes a detailed type description and ordering information, specifying nominal diameter, fluid name, flow rate, fluid temperature, operating pressure, fluid density, and output signal requirements.

Explosion proof: Exd II BT4 Principle Put a drum vertically into a burette and let some fluid flow down along the drum, by two sides of which there formed, intoration, regular vortexes, which is called the Karman Street. Output frequency of the Karman Street is released to fluid velocity and drum diameter, which can be described by following formula: f= S v t * d Where: f = Karman Street Output frequency v = velocity St = Coefficient (called as Strohar number) d = Drum Diameter As the Karman Street output frequency is directly proportional to velocity v, it may work out an instantaneous flow rate by using a tested output frequency of the Karman Street. The Strohar number is a key coefficient for vortex street flow meters. Within the lineal section of the curve, where St=0.17. the output frequency is directly proportional to the flow velocity, so a velocity v is derivable by using a tested frequency f. SDVT serials vortex street flow transducers detect the output frequency by using piezoeletricial elements inside the sensors (probes) to test the stress that is alternatively acted on the elements by vortex.
