Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An improved vortex shedding flowmeter sensor and method are disclosed. The vortex shedding sensor is a bistable element. The element is constrained to operate in a transition deflection region between two stable stages. The element tends to alternate states at the frequency of vortex shedding thereby, amplifying the input signal at low levels and extending the low range of flow rate measurement. -8-
