Fig. 3 Operating principle
The bluff body is designed to optimise the pulse

strength of the pressure variations at the position of
the differential pressure sensor.
Flow ranges are determined by the pipe diameter and
the signal processing parameters. The differential
pressure sensor key elements are a bulk
micromachined silicon chip and a
microprocessor-based signal-conditioning circuit, both

designed for harsh aqueous environments.
The bluff body is either integrated in the composite
flow pipe, or supplied as a separate composite or
Vortex principle stainless steel part to be inserted in the flow pipe.
The flow measurement is based on the vortex The square chip membrane warps due to the pressure

membrane region, is coated on both sides by an
extremely corrosion- and diffusion-resistive thin film
(Silicoat®). The coating makes the chip
environmentally robust. The liquid-free zone is sealed
by an O-ring.
Material
The Grundfos vortex flow sensors are available in
three material variants, suitable for different liquids:
• EPDM O-rings: Suitable for water; drinking-water
approved.
TM04 9236 3710
• FKM O-rings: Suitable for oily liquids and water in

heating applications.
• EPDM sealing cap with FKM O-rings: Suitable for
water in heating applications with a high volume of

When a bluff body is placed inside a pipe, a series of
vortices will be generated on either side of the bluff Definitions

rise to periodic pressure variations which can be Burst Pressure
