ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to flowmeters and solves the problem of providing a simple and reliable meter that has a wide measuring range and high measuring accuracy over the entire range, including its lower part in the region around values for Reynolds Number of about 200. According to the invention, there is a T-shaped oscillating element (8) inside the meter between a pair of projections (6, 7), which throttle the flow, causing separation and turbulence. The oscillating element is actuated upon not only by negative pressure forces, but also by forces of positive pressure, which provides steady operating conditions. (FIG. 4)
