DUAL SENSOR VORTEX FLOW METER

A vortex flow meter includes a housing having an interior cavity, a vortex shedder supported by the housing and extending into the interior cavity, an ultrasonic sensor, a bending moment sensor and acontroller. The ultrasonic sensor is configured to produce an ultrasonic flow rate output that is indicative of the flow rate of a fluid flow through the interior cavity. The bending moment sensor isconfigured to produce a bending moment flow rate output that is indicative of the flow rate of the fluid flow through the interior cavity. The controller is configured to generate a flow rate measurement that is indicative of the flow rate based on the ultrasonic flow rate output and/or the bending moment flow rate output. 涡街流量计包括壳体、涡街发生体、超声波传感器、弯矩传感器和控制器，所述壳体具有内腔，所述涡街发生体由所述壳体支撑并延伸到内腔中。超声波传感器配置成产生超声波流率输出，所述超声波流率输出指示通过所述内腔的流体流的流率。弯矩传感器配置成产生弯矩流率输出，所述弯矩流率输出指示通过所述内腔的流体流的流率。所述控制器配置成基于超声波流率输出和/或弯矩流率输出来产生指示所述流率的流率测量结果。
