2 Product Description
This section covers the reference and specification data, as well as ordering information.
2.1 Introduction
Tek-Vor 1300C Vortex Flowmeter (also called a Vortex Shedding Flowmeter) is a versatile instrument that calculates the mass flow, volumetric flow rate, temperature, and pressure and density of any liquid, gas, or steam through a pipeline.
2.2 Measuring Principle
This flowmeter operates on the principle of Karman Vortex Street, any medium passing through the pipeline flows around the bluff body and sheds a series of alternating vortices on each side of the body. This phenomenon is referred to as Vortex Shedding. These vortices shed downstream of the bluff body and dissipate as they flow further. This pattern of vortices is called a Karman Vortex Street (also called a Von Karman Vortex Street).
A Vortex Flowmeter primarily consists of a bluff body, a sensor assembly, and a transmitter. A bluff body or a shedder is nothing but a non-streamlined object or a barrier placed perpendicular to the axis of the pipeline, around which the medium flows.
Calculation of volumetric flow rate
The frequency of the vortices, i.e., the number of vortices shed per second, is directly proportionate to the velocity of the medium. This Vortex Shedding Frequency is used to calculate the mass flow as well as the volume flow. The sensor assembly records the pressure and velocity oscillations generated on each side of the bluff body by the vortices and generate a digital linear output signal. The Vortex Shedding Frequency is calculated using the following formula:
𝒇 = 𝑺𝒕 ×
𝑽
𝒅
Where, f = Frequency of Vortex Shedding
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
Page 9
St = Strouhal Number V = Flow Velocity d = Width of the Bluff Body
The Vortex Shedding frequency is directly proportional to the velocity of any given bluff body diameter.
𝒇 = 𝒌 × 𝑽
Where, k = A constant for all fluids on the given design of flowmeter
Hence,
𝑽 =
𝒇
𝒌
Then the volumetric flow rate can be calculated by using the formula:
𝒒𝒗= 𝑨 ×
𝒇
𝒌
Where, A = Area of flowmeter bore
NOTE
Strouhal’s Number is constant across a wide range of Reynold’s number
