Pressure loss of vortex flow meters
Thread Content
I would like to ask how the pressure loss of vortex flow meters is calculated?
The pressure drop information for vortex flowmeters is provided in the relevant manuals; take a look at those first, or contact the manufacturer for details, as it varies from case to case
It can only be said to be small, so it is usually ignored.
Regarding the pressure loss of vortex flowmeters, some manufacturers provide an approximate estimate in their product catalogs; however, the exact pressure loss can only be determined using the manufacturer’s specialized calculation software, by taking into account parameters such as the medium properties, process conditions, flow range, and instrument diameter.
The pressure loss of vortex flow meters is very small and can generally be ignored; if calculation is necessary, consult the manufacturer.
The pressure loss of vortex flow meters is related to the properties of the medium, flow rate, and pipe diameter. The so-called low pressure loss applies only at normal flow rates for certain selected diameters. However, in practice, as the flow rate increases, so does the pressure loss; sometimes this level of pressure loss may be beyond what the upstream power source can handle, and in such cases it may be necessary to choose a larger diameter.
