Product Description
Product Overview Product overview
The LF13 series vortex flowmeter is a type of velocity-based flowmeter, widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical processing, power generation, light industry, and district heating. Our company’s vortex flowmeters are manufactured according to the standards specified in Vortex Flow Sensor (JB/T9249-2015) and the Verification Procedure for Vortex Flowmeters (JJG1029-2007). This instrument is widely applicable for measuring the flow of various media—including water and wastewater in large, medium, and small pipelines, industrial circulation systems, sewage treatment processes, as well as oils, chemical reagents, compressed air, saturated and superheated steam, natural gas, and more.

How it works Working Principle
The vortex shedding flowmeter consists of a vortex generator, a detection probe, and the corresponding electronic circuitry. When a fluid flows past the vortex generator, it creates two alternating rows of vortices on either side—these vortices are known as Karman vortices. Building on Karman's vortex street theory, Strouhal further proposed that the frequency of the Karman vortex street is directly proportional to the fluid's flow velocity, and he provided the following equation relating frequency to flow speed:
f = St × V/d where:
f: Vortex shedding frequency (Hz)
V: Average flow velocity (m/s) on both sides of the vortex generator
St: Strouhal number (constant within a certain range of Reynolds numbers)
d: Width of the vortex generator's upstream face (m)
These alternating vortices generate a series of fluctuating fluid lift forces, which act on the piezoelectric-based detection probe, producing a corresponding series of alternating electrical charge signals. After being processed by a pre-amplifier—where they undergo conversion, shaping, and amplification—the signals are finally output as pulse signals that match the vortex shedding frequency and are directly proportional to the flow velocity.

Note: ① All the above parameters apply to vortex flowmeters with a flanged connection and a pressure rating of 1.6 MPa.
② The flanged vortex flowmeter is delivered without pipe flanges and bolts, which must be purchased separately by the user. The connecting flange complies with the GB/T 9113-2000 standard for raised-face, flat-welded steel pipe flanges.
Installation Requirements INSTALLATION
1. Cut an opening in the pipe according to the required opening dimensions, ensuring that the opening aligns with the straight pipe section requirements.
2. Place the complete flowmeter assembly, with the flange already connected, into the pipe that has been opened.
3. Spot-weld the flange to the pipe for positioning.
4. Remove the flowmeter, weld the flanges according to specifications, and carefully clean all protruding parts inside the pipeline. Install a sealing gasket of the same diameter as the pipe into the inner groove of the flange, then insert the flowmeter into the flange assembly—with the flowmeter’s directional arrow aligned in the same direction as the fluid flow—and finally secure it tightly using the bolts.
