Abstract
A vortex flowmeter including a differential pressure transducer with high common mode rejection. No diaphragms are required. A relatively thick machined recess at one end of the vortex shedding body concentrates and transmits the vortex shedding differential pressure to strain transducers located outside the fluid flow conduit. Embodiments are disclosed in which piezoelectric elements and reflective optical fibers are used as strain transducers. The described arrangements allow the mechanical clamping of the transducers and their easy removal without a flow shut down. The shedder shape is optimized in relation to the differential transducer to strengthen the shed vortices and improve the linearity and repeatability of the meter.
