Why is the sensor of a clamp-on vortex flowmeter shorter than a flanged one?

Project Overview

Flange integrated vortex flowmeter

There are several reasons why the sensor of the wafer-type vortex flowmeter is shorter than the flange type:

1. Structural design: The sensor of the clip-on vortex flowmeter is clamped on the outer wall of the pipe, while the sensor of the flange-type flowmeter needs to be The flange connection is fixed inside the pipe. The clip-on sensor does not require space inside the pipe and therefore has a shorter length. The flange itself also has a certain thickness, so with the gasket, it is longer.

2. Easy installation: The sensor of the clip-on vortex flowmeter does not require a lot of space reservation and modification inside the pipe. This installation method only requires the sensor to be clamped on the outside of the pipe. More convenient and faster, suitable for some scenarios where pipeline modification is impossible
