Is a vortex flowmeter suitable for styrene and acrylonitrile?

As the title says. Dear friends, please share your opinions; experience in using it would be ideal.
As long as the viscosity is not high, there should be no problem. You can consult the manufacturer.
It seems to be resin; if its viscosity is high, a vortex flow meter cannot be used. I recommend using an external clamp-type ultrasonic flow meter. It’s just a bit expensive, haha

Antipolymerization agents should be added when these two materials are transported normally; provide the parameters to the flow meter manufacturer for calculation. I think a vortex flow meter should work; since the viscosity of these two media is not high and the temperature is also not high, it’s no problem to use a vortex flow meter for process measurement. But be sure to choose a flow meter with a larger diameter as much as possible, to prevent self-agglomeration due to high flow rates from affecting the measurements.
Wedge-shaped bar – everything else will have more or less problems. . . . . . . .
Styrene: Wedge flow meter; AN: Vortex flow meter. These are based on practical usage experience.
