Where
f = volumetric flow rate
po =pressure drop cross orifice
Ao =area of orifice
Co =orifice coefficient
= fluid density
= dimensionless ratio of the diameter of the orifice, d to
the diameter of the pipe, D
The equation derives from the application and a
mechanical energy balance (Bernoulli).
Density constant
f = St.V / d
* St is a non-dimensional constant called the Strouhal
number determined by the shape and dimensions of the vortex
shedder.

Doppler effect.
measuring the difference in frequencies of the transmitted
waves and those reflected back from foreign objects in the
fluid, the velocity of those objects, and thus the velocity of
the fluid, can be determined.
The detectors are attached to the outside walls of the pipe, requiring no
alterations of the existingpiping. Furthermore, they allow measurement of
the flow rate without stopping the flow.
The detectors do not come in contact with the fluid, so there is no concern
for corrosion or material adhering to them. Also, there is nothing to
obstruct the flow, so no pressure loss results from their use.
