Abstract
A vortex flowmeter with at least one measuring tube, at least one bluff body and at least one measuring sensor arranged behind the bluff body, at least one measuring transducer and at least one evaluation unit, wherein the measuring sensor is arranged such that, during operation, it is deflected by the vortices of the medium forming behind the bluff body, wherein the measuring transducer is designed and arranged such that, during operation, it converts the deflection of the measuring sensor into a corresponding change in a measured variable and transmits it as a measured signal to the evaluation unit. The functionality of the measuring transducer can be checked is achieved by an actuator being arranged and controllable by a control unit such that the actuator can deflect and/or deform the measuring transducer and/or the measuring sensor.
