Q R S T
Q Flow rate, usually volumetric
Rangeability Highest measurable ow rate divided by the lowest
measurable ow rate
Reynolds Number A dimensionless number equal to the density of a uid
or Re times the velocity of the uid times the diameter of
the uid channel, divided by the uid viscosity
(i.e., Re = ρVD/). The Reynolds number is an important
number for vortex ow meters because it is used to
determine the minimum measurable ow rate. It is the
ratio of the inertial forces to the viscous forces in a owing
uid.
RTD Resistance temperature detector, a sensor whose resistance
increases as the temperature rises
scfm Standard cubic feet per minute (ow rate converted to
standard conditions, as shipped 14.696 psia and 59° F).
User denable.
Shedder Bar A non-streamlined body placed into a ow stream to
create vortices. Also called a bluff body.
Strouhal Number A dimensionless number equal to the frequency
or St of vortices created by a bluff body times the width of the
bluff body divided by the velocity of the owing uid (i.e.,
St = fd/V). This is an important number for vortex ow
meters because it relates the vortex frequency to the uid
velocity.
Totalizer An electronic counter which records the total accumulated
ow over a certain range of time
Traverse The act of moving a measuring point across the width of a
ow channel
U V W X Y Z
Uncertainty The closeness of agreement between the result of a
measurement and the true value of the measurement
V Velocity or voltage
VAC Volts, alternating current
VDC Volts, direct current
VORTEX An eddy of uid
