Selection of vortex flowmeter diameter (Yokogawa)

That thing still requires software; once you see a sample, you can select it right away. With general-purpose software, calculations can only be done for sizes up to DN250, while for larger sizes, the manufacturer’s software is needed.

Since, during the design and manufacture of vortex flowmeters, due to the characteristics of the vortex generation element and the sensing components, manufacturers’ catalogs can only provide selection options based on the flow-rate to diameter ratio for water and air. However, in actual use, it is necessary to take into account the properties of the medium, the limits on pressure loss, and the appropriate diameter range; therefore, specialized software provided by the manufacturer must be used for calculations in order to determine a suitable and accurate diameter as well as the optimal flow-rate range. Yokogawa Electric has specialized computing software; I used it in my previous job, and there should be an upgraded version available now. The original poster can ask the people at Yokogawa Electric’s China office; perhaps they will provide you with a software connection that you can download and install.

Let the manufacturers handle the caliber technology; for the rest, one can choose based on samples

Yokogawa does have software, but it cannot be used

When selecting the pipe diameter, it is generally necessary to calculate the operating flow rate of the pipeline, that is, the maximum and minimum flow rates at which the meter will be used. By then matching these values with the flow rate range for various pipe diameters, the appropriate diameter can be determined.
