ABSTRACT:
A dual sensor vortex flow meter providing fluid connections for two sensors and containing isolation valves providing the further capability of separate valve control of the fluid communication to each of the dual sensors is herein disclosed. The vortex flow meter is mounted onto a flow meter body having an existing sensor cavity for housing a single sensor. The vortex flow meter is fitted into the existing sensor cavity by means of a dummy-cast sensor. On either side of the dummy sensor are apertures coupled to flow passages that transmit the alternating differential pressure fluctuations caused by the vortices from each side of the dummy sensor to the corresponding sides of each of the dual sensors. The dual sensor vortex flow meter may also include valves for controlling the process flow transmission to each of the sensors.
