Vortex Flow Meter Applications

The vortex steam flow meter has the advantages of simple structure, high measurement accuracy, and high reliability. The vortex steam flow meter is often used in industrial production. The following section will introduce the vortex shedding flow meter from its principles, advantages, limitations, and applications.

When liquid or gas passes through the spiral obstacle of the vortex shedding flow meter, the vortex will form on both sides of the obstacle. These vortices pass alternately through the Vortex Street, resulting in a rotation. The flow rate of the liquid or gas can be calculated by measuring the number and time of the rotation.

The advantages of a vortex steam flow meter are mainly, simple structure, high measurement accuracy, and reliability. The relatively simple structure of a vortex flow meter can be easily operated, installed, and maintained. The vortex flow meter has high measurement accuracy and can maintain good stability over a wide range. Vortex flow transmitter has high reliability and durability and can be used in harsh environments.

But vortex flow transmitter also has its limitations. First of all, the vortex flow transmitter has certain requirements for the measured liquid or gas flow state. If the measured medium flow state is uneven or unstable, it may affect the measurement accuracy. Secondly, the frequency response range of the vortex shedding flow meter is limited, and it can not measure the low-frequency or high-frequency vortex well.

Vortex shedding flow meter is widely used in the field of production and processing, mainly used in the following areas.

In the petrochemical industry, vortex steam flow meters are mainly used to measure the flow of various petrochemical products, including crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products, and so on. The requirements for vortex steam flow meters in this field are very strict, therefore, vortex steam flow meters applied in this field need to be characterized by high accuracy as well as high stability.

In the food and pharmaceutical industries, vortex flow meters are commonly used to measure the flow of various foods and medicines. Vortex flow meters are ideal for these applications as they do not contaminate food and pharmaceuticals.

In air conditioning and heating systems, vortex flow meters are mainly used to measure the flow of water or air. Vortex flow meters ensure that the water or air in the system is flowing at the right rate, thus increasing the efficiency and reliability of the system.

Vortex flow meters are powerful measuring instruments. When using a vortex flow transmitter, you should choose the right model according to the flow state of the liquid or gas being measured to ensure accurate measurement by the vortex flow transmitter.
