  • Dual sensor vortex flowmeter
    Patent number: 11473947
    Abstract: A vortex flowmeter includes a housing having an interior cavity, a vortex shedder supported by the housing and extending into the interior cavity, an ultrasonic sensor, a bending moment sensor and a controller. The ultrasonic sensor is configured to produce an ultrasonic flow rate output that is indicative of the flow rate of a fluid flow through the interior cavity. The bending moment sensor is configured to produce a bending moment flow rate output that is indicative of the flow rate of the fluid flow through the interior cavity. The controller is configured to generate a flow rate measurement that is indicative of the flow rate based on the ultrasonic flow rate output and/or the bending moment flow rate output.
