Classification of Vortex Flow Meters
2022-07-21
Vortex flow metersare one of the main types of flow measurement devices used worldwide. Due to their advantages, they have been widely applied in various fields. In the future, vortex flowmeters will play a leading role in the production of flow measurement instruments. Vortex flowmeters are suitable for measuring the flow of steam, compressed air, general gases, and liquids. Today,in this article,our team at Aisterwill introduce the classification of vortex flowmeters and how they can be categorized, providing a reference for users and online readers to learn and understand.

I.Classification
There are different ways to classify instruments from different aspects. Some are classified by layout, some by detection methods, and some by use. Vortex flowmeters are no exception. Let's classify vortex flowmeters from different angles
1.Classification by layout form
According to the layout, vortex flowmeters can be classified into integrated type and remote transmission type. Among them: Integrated vortex flowmeter: It integrates the sensor and the transmitter (including flow calculation and display unit). Remote (or separated) vortex flowmeter refers to the separation of instrument transmission and transmitter, which is suitable for special operating conditions, such as high-temperature vortex flowmeter.
2.Classification by detection technology
Based on different detection technologies, vortex flowmeters can be classified into thermal vortex flowmeters, ultrasonic vortex flowmeters, capacitive vortex flowmeters, stress vortex flowmeters, strain vortex flowmeters, magneto-electric (vibration) vortex flowmeters, photoelectric and fiber optic vortex flowmeters. This classification method is currently used by manufacturers and users and can reflect the different characteristics of vortex flowmeters from their names.
3.Classification by purpose of use
Based on the different purposes of use, vortex flowmeters can also be classified into explosion-proof vortex flowmeters, high-temperature vortex flowmeters, ultra-low-temperature vortex flowmeters, corrosion-resistant vortex flowmeters, insertion vortex flowmeters, and mass vortex flowmeters.
4.Classification by instrument functionality
Based on the functionality of the instrument, vortex flowmeters can be classified into conventional type and intelligent type. Among them, Intelligent vortex flowmeters are a new type of flowmeter that has emerged in recent years. Its emergence reflects the rapid development of sensor technology, digital technology, and communication technology. This type of instrument is designed in an integrated manner in terms of layout. An instrument integrates signal detection, signal processing and compensation calculation, display, and communication. In terms of measurement, it achieves multi-parameter detection. In terms of functionality, it has various functions such as measurement, compensation, calculation, self-diagnosis, management, and communication.
