I am using a Rosemont vortex flowmeter (8800 series)and that comes with a K-factor stamped on a nameplate.
Now, obviously, a vortex type meter is not a true mass flow sensor (e.g. a Corolois) but a volumetric flow meter. Now my question is suppose the original fluid changes from A to B (both liquids) does the K-factor change too or not?
The meters are originally all calibrated on water but what I am not sure is whether the K-factor they stamp takes into account any other properties of the fluid for which the meter was ordered for.
