A vortex flow meter is a flow measurement device best suited for flow measurements where the introduction of moving parts presents problems. ... Vortex flow meters operate under the vortex shedding principle, where an oscillating vortexes occur when a fluid such as water flow past a bluff (as opposed to streamlined) body.

What is the use of vortex flow meter?

Vortex flowmeters are used in numerous branches of industry to measure the volume flow of liquids, gases and steam.

How does an electronic flow meter work?

A flow meter works by measuring the amount of a liquid, gas, or steam flowing through or around the flow meter sensors. ... The flow (Q) is equal to the cross-sectional area of the pipe (A) in a volumetric flow meter, and the velocity of the flowing fluid (v): Q = A * v.
