9.1 Measuring Ranges (Sensor)
The tables below show the relationship between measuring ranges and vortex
frequency ranges for a typical gas (air, at 0 °C and 1.013 bar) and a typical liquid
(water, at 20 °C). The column “K-factor” shows a range of typical values for the
K-factor of an instrument of the corresponding size and type (wafer or flange).
Your E+H Sales Office will be pleased to provide information on flowmeters for your
specific application with regard to the process characteristics of the fluid and operat-
ing conditions.
