Flow Meters

ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METER

Electromagnetic flowmeter is the most accurate and reliable way to measure fluid velocity. They’re used in countless industries, including oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and more. Our electromagnetic flow sensors are durable enough for harsh environments. It provides precise measurements for your liquid process.

We offer a wide range of models with different features. Like high accuracy or low-pressure drop. So we have an option that will work best for your application.

VORTEX FLOW METER

It uses for measuring the flow of liquid or gas in both liquid and steam status. For some liquids, like water easy to measure the flow rate. But high-temperature fluids like steam flow measurements is not an easy task. It becomes more difficult because high temperatures affect the properties of the fluid. Making them different than they would at room temperature. That’s why vortex meters are versatile. It is also used in compressors as air flow meter.

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.

THERMAL MASS FLOWMETER

Thermal mass flowmeter uses all over the world to measure material flow. They consist of a probe that inserts into the stream being measured or comes in contact with the thermal mass of the fluid. The temperature difference is then used to calculate how much heat is flowing through that area of space. They are typically divided into three categories. Bypass, probes, and flow-through designs. Each suite for specific tasks when measuring matter in different environments.

The first type is called a bypass, which utilizes two passages (one with high velocity) and one measurement passage (with low velocity). This design is useful when dealing with gases where there are small changes in temperatures due to viscosity effects on density.

There are two operating modes available in this type. The first one electric power remains constant and measures the increase in temperature. The second mode maintains the temperature difference as constant. Then calculates the electricity required to maintain it. The second method of operation gives much more range in the meter. But it is very complex and time-consuming to use.

TURBINE FLOW METER

It uses for volumetric total flow or measuring flow rate. Its working method is simple and easy. They consist of a rotating rotor with propeller blades mounted in housing bearings. Once the fluid flows through the turbine, the rotor rotates. The flow rate is directly proportional to the speed of the rotor. The rotor turns because of the fluid force. 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.

CLAMP ON ULTRASONIC FLOW METER 

Fluid flow can be measured with ultrasonic clamp-on flow meters in most situations. Ultrasonic flow meters can detect and report downstream and upstream changes in flow conditions by measuring the time it takes for sound waves to travel through a fluid.

Ultrasonic flowmeters have several advantages over conventional vortex flowmeters, including the elimination of moving parts and the consequent decrease in failure rates and increase in service life, as well as the ability to be clamped to the side of a pipe for installation and calibration, which eliminates the need to halt production. Our ultrasonic clamp-on flow meters 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 flow meters 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.

POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT FLOW METER

Volumetric flow meters, like flow meters, measure the flow rate by allowing a known volume of fluid to pass through their measuring tubes with each rotation. Positive Displacement flow meters are high-precision devices with moving parts that are hydraulically locked in proportion to the flow rate of the fluid being measured. This enables the meter to accurately measure liquids of varying viscosities, intermittent flows, and low flow rates. When fluid motion occurs, the Positive Displacement meter updates instantaneously; when it ceases, so does the update.

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 flow meters 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.

OVAL GEAR FLOW METER

The flow meter in an oval shape is remarkably compact and was developed for use in situations with low pressure. The U-shaped versions are larger than the singular tube flow, which results in a more compact design that takes up less area during installation. The majority of flow meters in the shape of a triangle are capable of producing multivariable measurements.

Flow meters with oval gears are made for applications that need an accurate volume of liquid dispensed. Some examples of these applications include the use of brake fluid, wiper fluid, and antifreeze. These gear flow meters are developed with an emphasis on reliability to ensure that they are capable of withstanding even the most severe conditions that may be present in your application.

They provide a consistent level of performance. These meters have plastic covers that resist corrosion and shock, so they can withstand harsh conditions. Long-term precision is provided by gear flow meters 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.

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FLOW METER

When measuring the flow of a low viscosity fluid in a pipeline, the differential type flow meter is the most common and cost-effective option. Compared to other ways of measuring flow, these meters tend to be straightforward, dependable, and versatile. The principle behind differential pressure meters is to restrict flow in a pipe to a certain extent. Thus, dynamic pressure will be differential between the apparatus’s top and bottom sides. The difference in static pressure is monitored to ascertain the volumetric flow rate. The inlet differential-pressure meter is the most common type of industrial flow meter in use today. Fluids ranging in viscosity from vapors to highly viscous fluids have been metered using differential-pressure devices.

Differential-pressure flow meters are widely used because of their affordability and ease of use. Artificial constriction can be used by differential pressure flow meters 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.
