1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE
The purpose of this guide is to provide installation and commissioning procedures and basic
operating and servicing instructions for ONICON F-2200 Series Vortex Flow Meters.
1.2 PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION
ONICON F-2000 series vortex ow meters utilize Karman’s vortex street principal to detect changes
in velocity in the medium owing around the titanium shedder bar and through the meter body. A
volumetric ow rate is then derived by utilizing the known cross-sectional area of the meter body
and the average velocity of the medium. When provided with optional temperature and/or pressure
compensation the F-2000 series ow meters are capable of calculating the required density
corrections necessary to provide direct mass ow measurement of liquids, steam or gases.
