ABSTRACT:
A vortex flow meter for measuring fluid flow has a conduit for carrying a fluid. A region of reduced thickness is formed in a portion of the conduit. A shedding bar disposed in the conduit is coupled to the region of reduced thickness and is configured to apply a rocking motion to the region of reduced thickness about a pivot line in response to flow of the fluid. At least one reinforcing rib on the reduced thickness portion preferably extends parallel to flow of fluid.
