Abstract
A vortex flowmeter detector is attached to or detachable from a vortex generation body for measurement of flow rate. The vortex flowmeter detector comprises a cylindrical oscillation tube having a bottom and a vortex detection part which is fixed by a fixing flange of the oscillation tube, wherein the oscillation tube is detachably inserted into a hole which is open to the vortex generation body at one end thereof, and the oscillation tube is fixed by a flange. An alternate pressure caused by a Karman vortex is introduced from both sides of the vortex generation body into the hole so as to oscillate the oscillation tube. This oscillation is received by a spring plate by way of an element cover, and it is transmitted to piezoelectric elements which are stuck to two chamfers of an elastic base material.
