[0024] The base 3 is connected to the tube body 1 by bolts. The generator 2 is used to generate vortices. The distance between the vortices corresponds to the specific volume of the fluid. The number of vortices and the frequency of vortex generation can be measured by a sensor, and the volume flow rate is obtained after conversion.

[0032] By setting the generator 2 in the tube 1, vortices can be generated when the fluid passes through the generator 2 in the tube 1. The distance between the vortices corresponds to the specific volume of the fluid. The number of vortices can be measured by a sensor and the volume flow rate can be obtained after conversion.
