Abstract: The vortex flowmeter has been used to measure flows of liquids, gases and vapors for several decades. This paper is meant as an overview for anyone new to the technology. Hopefully it will also be a good review for anyone not so new to the technology and will provide some added insight. Some additional reading is also presented with the references. Since the vortex shedding principle is based on the velocity, provided the Reynolds number is sufficient, accurate actual volumetric flow measurements can be made without the need for density compensation. The flowmeter K-factor is independent of the process fluid. A water calibration for example can be used in a gas or steam application. Data is presented which shows the agreement of water calibrations for use in natural gas.
