Abstract

A vortex flow meter (1) with a measurement tube (2) through which a medium can flow, a baffle body (3) for generating vortices in the medium and a deflection body (4) which can be deflected by the pressure fluctuations which accompany the vortices in the medium. The vortex flow meter seeks to avoid the disadvantages of the implementations of the measurement principle of the prior art there being an electronic unit (6) which exposes the deflection body (4) to electromagnetic radiation and receives electromagnetic radiation from the deflection body (4).
