What is a Vortex Flow Meter?

In industries where precision is critical, accurate flow measurement is essential for efficiency, safety, and cost control. Whether you're dealing with steam, gas, water, or air, choosing the right flow meter ensures optimal system performance. 

At Burak Metering, we specialize in advanced vortex flow meters designed to meet the flow measurement needs of various industries with unmatched reliability and precision.

What is a Vortex Flow Meter?

A vortex flow meter is a type of flow measurement device that works on the principle of the von Kármán vortex street. When a fluid (liquid, gas, or steam) flows past a bluff body (an obstruction in the flow path), it creates alternating vortices on either side of the body. These vortices are directly proportional to the fluid’s velocity.

Sensors within the meter detect the frequency of these vortices, which is then converted into flow rate data. This technology is highly accurate, requires no moving parts, and is suitable for a wide range of applications.

Working Principle of Vortex Flow Meters

The core of vortex flow measurement lies in three key steps:

1. Vortex Generation: As fluid flows through the pipe and encounters the bluff body, it creates vortex trails (eddies).

2. Sensing the Frequency: A piezoelectric or capacitive sensor detects the frequency of the generated vortices.

3. Flow Rate Calculation: The frequency is linearly related to flow velocity, which is then calculated and displayed or transmitted.

This method enables precise and stable flow readings, even under high temperature and pressure conditions.
