Vortex flowmeter
Flanged vortex shedding flowmeter: cast body with an open bore and a bluff shedder bar plus sensing wing across it, a sensor boss and stiffened neck (longer for hot service) carrying an integral Ex d transmitter, and a flow-direction arrow.
Installation
Copies instruments/vortex-flowmeter.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.
Usage
import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { VortexFlowmeter } from './components/deck-twin/instruments/vortex-flowmeter'
export default function Scene() {
return (
<Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
<Stage>
<VortexFlowmeter />
</Stage>
<OrbitControls makeDefault />
</Canvas>
)
}

P&ID
Inline box with a small bluff-body triangle (the shedder bar) and wavy vortex lines downstream, joined to an FT bubble. Often a generic FE with "VORTEX" written beside it.
Used on steam, fuel gas, utility gas and clean liquids. Read the instrument index to confirm the technology when the legend only gives a generic flow element.

Emerson (Rosemount). The geometry is generic and sized from public standards. It is not vendor CAD.
For agents
Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:
Or fetch /r/vortex-flowmeter.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:
Add the Deck Twin "Vortex flowmeter" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add vortex-flowmeter` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info vortex-flowmeter` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <VortexFlowmeter /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
