Abstract: A manufacturing procedure of a vortex flowmeter is disclosed that allows for assembly of a vortex sensor assembly with one of two or more unitary flowtubes that have bores that are smaller than the flowtube flanges in two or more size number steps. The unitary flowtubes include flanges, flowtube bores and expanders (also called reducers) that provide a smooth flow transition from the larger flanges to the smaller bores.

Abstract: An electromagnetic flowmeter for measuring the flow of an electrically conductive fluid through a flow system comprises a flow tube adapted to be connected in the flow system for allowing the fluid to flow therethrough. Coils supported by the flow tube are energized to provide magnetomotive force to produce a magnetic field, a portion of which interacts with the fluid to produce an electric field within the fluid. Electrodes supported by the flow tube receive signals from the electric field representative of flow. The electrodes are coupled to a signal processing circuit which processes the signals and transmits an output signal representative of flow to suitable readout equipment.
