Seeking advice on the conditions for accurate measurement with vortex flowmeters! Reynolds number – Can the Reynolds number of normally warm water flowing under its own gravity at a height of 2 meters be measured accurately? If not, then using a vortex flow meter would be a poor choice for such a situation. On the other hand, metal rotor flow meters do not require consideration of the Reynolds number; therefore, in cases of flow under its own gravity, metal rotor flow meters are more suitable. Is what I’m saying reasonable?
The flow velocity in a 2m vertical pipe is too low; vortex flow meters cannot be used. Rotameters are indeed suitable, but note that the rotor needs to be installed in a vertically upward pipe
Vortex flow meters can only be used when the flow velocity is high; the flow velocity in your case is too low
If vortex street sensors are absolutely necessary! It is possible to reduce the diameter and then calculate whether the flow velocity will meet the requirements
The measurement conditions for vortex streets depend on the Reynolds number; for measuring water, electromagnetic methods are preferred. In the case of metal tube rotors, flow generally occurs from bottom to top – can the process ensure this?
