How to calculate the flow rate in Vortex flow meter ? What is K factor ? Can you give me an example calculation to understand the same as better ?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
• Vortex flow meters are flow sensors that detect the frequency of vortices shed by a bluff body placed in a flow stream.<\/li>\n
• The frequency of the vortices is proportional to the flow velocity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

  Where:<\/p>\n

  \n

  \n

  \n
  • f_{v<\/sub>\u00a0is the frequency of vortex shedding.<\/li>\n}
  • D is the diameter of the pipe.<\/li>\n
  • w is the width of bluff body over diameter of pipe.<\/li>\n
  • K is the a constant for all fluids given design of meter. A k factor is introduced to compensate for the non-uniform profile of pipe flow.<\/li>\n
  • S is the Strouhal number, determined experimentally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    • Flow rate information can be output as an analog current signal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      \n

      What is K factor ?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      \n

      \n
      • K-factor is a dividing factor.<\/li>\n
      • The term is usually encountered when dealing with pulse signals although analog K-factors are sometimes used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
