FV10 series vortex flowmeter
Principle, structure
Product details

Principle, structure

The vortex flowmeter uses the principle of Karman vortex street for measurement. A cylindrical object is vertically inserted into the measuring tube. When the fluid passes through the cylindrical object, under certain conditions, two columns of regular vortices will alternate on both sides of the column. As shown in the figure below, these two columns of vortices are called "Karman vortex streets". When d/D=0.281, the released vortices are the most stable. The frequency of Karman vortex street release is related to the velocity of fluid flow and the width of the cylindrical object. It can be simply expressed by the following formula:

F=St ×V/d

F: The release frequency of the Karman vortex street

St: For coefficients (known as Strouhal numbers)

V: For flow velocity

d: Column width

D: Instrument inner diameter
