ABSTRACT:
An acceleration-proof vortex type flowmeter in which the fluid to be measured is conducted through a flow tube having an obstacle assembly mounted therein capable of generating periodic vortices causing a deflectable section of the assembly to swing at a corresponding rate. The swing is sensed to produce an output signal whose frequency is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid. The deflectable section is cantilevered from a fixed section by upper and lower beams, the mass of the deflectable section being balanced with respect to the lower beam which acts as a torsion rod. The physical characteristics of the beams are such as to render the obstacle assembly substantially insensitive to acceleration forces.
