Vortex flowmeter has a sensor element formed as part of a ceramic plate on which electronic signal processing circuits are also mounted, so that flowmeter has few parts and is easy to install

摘要

Vortex flowmeter has a housing (12) with a flow channel (10) containing an obstacle body (14), the edges (16) of which promote flow separation and generate eddies in the flow medium. A sensor (18) has a plate type sensor element (20) and a measurement transducer (34) that generates an electrical signal dependent on the deflection of the sensor element. The sensor element is an integral part of a ceramic plate (24) on which electronic components (22) are mounted and is designed as a flexing beam.
