For many industrial applications, accurate flow measurement is a critical need. Precise flow measurements can determine the difference between profit and loss. Also, inaccurate flow measurement leads to adverse outcomes in business and process controls.
Most devices measure liquid flow rate by measuring velocity or kinetic energy change. The liquid’s velocity depends on the pressure difference that forces it. The pipe or conduit has a known and constant cross-section area. Hence, we use the average velocity to find the flow rate of the liquid.
How to Select a FlowMeter?
When selecting a flowmeter, you must consider many factors such as plant personnel’s familiarity, calibration and maintenance experience, availability of spare parts, minimum and maximum flows, line pressure and the period between failure histories, etc., at the plant site. It is also recommended that you calculate the installation cost only after following these steps. A typical flow measurement mistake is the reverse of this sequence. Instead of selecting a sensor that will perform correctly, you try to justify using a sensor because it is cheaper. These “inexpensive” purchases may be the most expensive installations.

Major Types of Flowmeters and Features:
If you need to monitor fluid movement through your process line but want to avoid problems like clogging or false readings due to pressure fluctuations? Then an electromagnetic flow meter could be just what you need. We have all sorts of different models available so contact us today. If you’d like more information about how we can help solve your measurement needs. The major features are as follows. It is a velocity flow measurement device. It measures the volume flow of conductive liquids. Many projects its use as reliable water flowmeter.
Furthermore, it not only has a site display. It can provide standard current signals like 4-20mA. For recording and adjusting controls to realize automatic detection and long-distance signal transmission. It can measure the flow of many kinds of liquids. Like slurries in water, wastewater, chemical, dairy, and so on. It can also use in many kinds of industries such as food, beverages, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, steel, paper, and mining, etc.
It is also used in compressors as air flowmeter. They have all kinds of features. That makes it easier to measure the flow rate of different types of fluid. Steam flow measurement is very important in process industries and power plants. Throughout the whole process, there were many obstacles that had to be overcome. One of them was an improper installation to get an accurate measure of steam flow.
There are three different ways in which the vortex meter can install. Through a flanged connection, insertion into pipe or wafer mounting on top of the pipe. The flanged and wafer connections provide more accuracy than the insertion method. Because they allow for greater access to direct readings at any point along the pipeline. But these types are difficult to install in large line sizes due to their size and weight. The inserting model uses when the facility cannot stop for installation purposes.
There are different methods used to detect the speed of the rotor. The most common method is placing a mechanical shaft and a sensor. Its design varies according to the shape of the spinning rotor. like paddlewheel meters and propeller meters. A paddlewheel turbine meter has a rotor that rotates on the axis parallel to the flow of fluids. Most of the paddlewheel meters are insertion type. The rotor in the propeller-type is suspended in the fluid stream to detect the flow. This type of meter is commonly used in liquid applications.
Another type of turbine meter is the axial turbine in which the rotor revolves around the flow axis. This type uses for oil measurements, industrial gas, and liquid measurements. These meters vary the design of the rotor and blade quantity. The shape of the axial meter for liquid measurement is completely different from it used to measure the gas. These meters use in industries like oil, automotive, laboratory, and water treatment. Sometimes they are installed in applications that are found in the chemical and beverage industry.
Our ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeters enable flexible placement of measurement with minimal impact on operational continuity.These meters are accurate and adaptable for use in a wide range of industries, pipe thicknesses, and fluids, and their installation requires no closure of the operation. Our clamp-on meters are easily installed and removed, allowing your team to work more quickly and perform flow spot checks at virtually any pipeline segment.
These meters come in various configurations, including wire rope, magnetic bolt-on, chain, Velcro® strap, and a weldable steel shaft with a metal band. In addition to measuring the flow of gases and vapors, ultrasonic flowmeters are also helpful for measuring the flow of liquids that contain solids. They can be utilized for installation and upkeep purposes and provide highly accurate measurements.
Differential-pressure flowmeters are widely used because of their affordability and ease of use. Artificial constriction can be used by differential pressure flowmeters to detect the pressure drop of fluids as they move through the meter. The pressure drop across the restriction is assumed to be proportional to the double the flow rate, as predicted by Bernoulli’s principle. A larger pressure drop results in a greater flow rate. All sorts of clean liquids and gases can be measured with precision by these tough meters.
The density, fluidity, or turbulence of the liquid inside the pipe do not affect this type of measurement. Since the volume of an incompressible fluid is constant, there is no need to adjust the meter’s reading to account for variations in the fluid type. The turndown and accuracy of positive displacement flowmeters are exceptional.Even though pressure loss may be difficult, they are helpful for use with incredibly thick, unclean, or caustic fluids. Positive displacement meters have many benefits, including controlling stockpiles of supplied chemicals such as caustics, acids, cleaners, and deodorizers. Diesel generators used in mines and construction sites can have their fuel use tracked with these devices.
These meters have plastic covers that resist corrosion and shock, so they can withstand harsh conditions.Long-term precision is provided by gear flowmeters in an oval shape. Among the benefits is a performance that is amazingly accurate and reliable throughout the entirety of the product’s existence. It is an excellent choice to be used in a wide variety of chemical processes, such as solvents based on petroleum, water mixtures, and other substances that are acceptable with the materials used throughout the construction of the building.
Rotameters have been used in many industries because of their cost-effectiveness. They are a mechanical device that does not require any power to measure the flow of gas or liquid. As a result, they are often used in hazardous or remote areas where power is expensive to provide.
The Rotameter allows users to quickly and easily understand their process by reading the flow measurement. For instance, it can tell if the process looks dirty or cloudy, and if the filters need to be replaced. It can also tell if the process is the correct color. Both the cost and function of rotameters contribute to cost savings.
Major Types of Water FlowMeters
The mechanical flowmeter is the most common type of industrial water flowmeter. It is also the most cost-effective. A mechanical flowmeter measures the flow of water by rotating the turbine blades. The speed of the blades is proportional to the volume of the water flow. Mechanical flowmeters do not work with water pressure systems with low water pressure. Mechanical flowmeters are accurate, but they can become clogged when the water has larger particles or is unclean. It will lead to higher maintenance costs.
Ultrasonic water flowmeters, as the name indicates, use ultrasound to measure the water flow rate. The flow rate is determined by the difference in receiver times between two ultrasonic signals sent in opposite directions. (upstream and downstream). Ultrasonic flowmeters are suitable for high flow rates as well as non-conducting water. They can clamp onto a pipe from the outside to measure water flow in large pipes.
Another one is the magnetic flow meter. It is an industrial digital water meter that uses a magnetic field to measure water flow rate. It works because any liquid in a magnetic field will produce a voltage when it passes through it. The faster it flows, the higher the voltage will be generated – in direct correlation to the velocity of the water. Magnetic flowmeters are highly accurate and typically have visible LED displays. They are suitable for most applications except custody transfer or pure water applications.
Major Types of Fuel FlowMeters
Turbine fuel flowmeters utilize a turbine that rotates on an axis to measure the flow rate of fluid. As the fluid passes over the turbine, its velocity is recorded, with a direct correlation to the turbine’s speed of rotation. In Digital Turbine Fuel Flowmeters, a magnet or sensor is positioned on the turbine blade, sending a pulse to the computer with each rotation.
The oval gear flowmeter comprises of two gears positioned at a right angle, creating a T shape. The intersection of the gear teeth determines the center point of the flowmeter. This design ensures that no fluid can pass through that particular point. As the fluid encounters the rotating gears, it triggers their movement. The fluid enters the measuring chamber and progresses towards the outlet port of the meter.
Simultaneously, fresh fluid enters the flowmeter through the inlet port, propelling the gears into another measuring chamber. During this process, one chamber opens while the other closes. The flow rate is determined by the magnets located within the rotating gears. As the gears pass an electrical reed switch, they emit a signal that allows for flow calculation based on rotation speed.
The nutating disc fuel flowmeter possesses a solitary mobile component, offers affordability, and demonstrates remarkable accuracy. Although its functionality is straightforward. The meter comprises a measurement chamber featuring circular sides and conical tops and bottoms. Within this chamber, a disk traverses the center, effectively dividing it into two distinct sections.
Due to the disk’s non-perpendicular orientation to the opposite side of the chamber, it undergoes a wobbling motion (known as nutation) as the fluid flows above or below it. Once the disk completes one wobble, the fluid exits the chamber, signifying the precise volume that has passed through the meter. Concurrently, a pin, affixed to the apex of the center sphere perpendicular to the disk, completes a full rotation during each wobble. The count of these revolutions determines the volume of fluid that has traversed the meter. When considering the incorporation of a fuel flowmeter in your diesel dispensing system, the meter itself will accurately determine the quantity of fuel being dispensed during a transaction. This measurement is commonly referred to as the batch total. In most cases, the batch total can be reset prior to each transaction. Consequently, flowmeters typically provide two distinct totals. The first is known as the cumulative total, representing the overall amount of fuel transferred throughout the lifespan of the flowmeter. The cumulative total is typically non-resettable.
Mechanical and digital fuel flowmeters are the two most prevalent types. Battery-powered meters utilize a digital display, while mechanical meters employ a tick-over digit display. Accuracy is a crucial consideration when selecting a fuel flowmeter. The level of accuracy depends on the flow range of the meter. To ensure accuracy, the meter’s fuel flow rate must meet a minimum threshold. The flow rate, measured in liters per minute, is another significant factor to consider. However, for low consumption rates like heating oil, flowmeters measure in liters per hour.

How to Maintain a FlowMeter?
Differential pressure flowmeter primary elements require large piping, valves and fittings when connected to secondary elements. Maintenance may be a recurring task in such installations. Impulse lines can become clogged or corroded and require cleaning or replacement. Incorrect placement of secondary element can lead to measurement errors. Movement of secondary element can be costly.
Moving part flowmeters need to be inspected on a regular basis, especially if the dirty or viscous liquid is being metered. Filters should be installed before moving parts flowmeters. Filters will help reduce the amount of fouling and wear on the flowmeter. Obstruction less instruments, like ultrasonic or electromagnetic flowmeters, may have issues with the electronic components of their secondary element. Pressure sensors connected to secondary elements should be removed and checked on a regular basis.
In applications where coatings can be present, obstruction-less devices such as magnetic and ultrasonic units are also at risk. If the coatings are insulating, then the operation of the magnetic flowmeter will eventually be compromised if the flowmeter electrodes are not insulated from the fluid. This condition can be avoided by regular cleaning. In the case of an ultrasonic flowmeter, the refraction angles can change, and as the sonic energy absorbs by the coating, the meter will become inoperative.
