ABSTRACT:
A vortex flowmeter comprising a signal converting sensor for converting a flow rate to be measured into a vortex signal, a tracking filter section in a subsequent stage, and a noise discriminating circuit. The tracking filter section receives the output amplitude of the signal converting sensor, changes the corner frequency of a low pass filter, and delivers a filtered signal. The noise discriminating circuit receives a frequency signal obtained by frequency conversion of the filtered signal and the output amplitude of the signal converting sensor, performs a given calculation to achieve noise discrimination, and prevents output of the frequency signal when noise is found.
