Vortex flow meter Work principle is to rearching the corresponding relationship between fluid vibration frequency and flow velocity. It measures the flow velocity of fluid by measuring the frequency of sensor output signal. That leaves many vortex meter manuafacturet faced the prolems of vibration, electromagnetic interference and the lower limit of measurement in the development and application of vortex type flowmeter.
Comate understood Vibration then build a new equipment to measure it. Early in 2015, Comate have cooperate with USTC signal processing laboratory and put an unique design method in order to detect the real change of electric charge completely generated by fluids. After that Comate put VFM60MV in factory like compressed air, boiler steam, heating system nad owned a good feedback. The interference solved also makes Comate vortex meter able to measure down to 2m/s velocity than other brand in the marketplace.
