Dear Friends,
I want to know if the velocity is one of the criteria when selecting the vortex flowmeter size.
Especially when the fluid is flammable gas or liquid.
In flowmeters, the flowmeter size could be less than the line size. So with a smaller flowmeter size, the fluid velocity increase.
With higher velocity, the possibility of building up static charge is high. This is a major concern while handling flammable fluids.
I would like to know of any guideline or thumb rule for such cases.
Thanks in advance
