Vortex Flowmeters - a Tutorial

Sponsored Links

Vortex flowmeters, also know as vortex shedding flowmeters or oscillatory flowmeters, measure the vibrations of the downstream vortexes caused by a barrier in the moving stream.

The vibrating frequency of the vortex shedding is related to the velocity of the flow.
