Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flow detection, in particular to a shock-resistant vortex flowmeter. Background Art
[0002] The primary function of a pipeline flow monitor is to detect and measure the flow rate, pressure, temperature, and composition of fluids in pipelines, thereby helping businesses better control and manage pipeline flow. It can monitor flow in real time and promptly identify and resolve pipeline problems, thereby preventing accidents.
[0003] Vortex flowmeters, developed and manufactured based on the Karman vortex principle, measure the volume flow rate of gases, steam, or liquids, as well as the volume flow rate under standard conditions or mass flow. They are characterized by minimal pressure loss, a wide measuring range, and high accuracy. When measuring operating volume flow, they are virtually unaffected by parameters such as fluid density, pressure, temperature, and viscosity. However, fluid flow in a pipeline or external impacts can generate vibrations, and excessive vibration can reduce flow measurement accuracy. Therefore, we propose a vibration-resistant vortex flowmeter. Utility Model Content
