Abstract The Eddy Current Flow Meter is a reliable and robust inductive sensor for the measurement of flowrates in liquid metal flows. This kind of sensor is usually being used in pipe flows where the flow is mostly parallel to the sensor axis. When this sensor is used as part of the safety instrumentation above the subassemblies in liquid metal cooled fast reactors, the flow angle may change rapidly according to the conditions within the reactor. In this paper we investigate the performance of the Eddy Current Flow Meter in flows inclined to the sensor axis by numerical simulations as well as model experiments. We demonstrate that the Eddy Current Flow Meter yields reliable results for flow angles up to 30° while the sensitivity of the sensor is significantly reduced for larger angles.
