determine how many pulses are being generated per unit time to
determine flow rate, or count pulses to totalize flow. Typical vortex
frequencies range from as low as one or two pulses per second,
to thousands of pulses per second, depending upon the flowing
velocity, flowing medium and meter size. Meters measuring gas
normally have frequencies about 10 times the frequencies
encountered on liquid applications.
