Digital Flow Meter

There are four basic types of fluid flow meters, PD (positive displacement), mass coriolis, turbine and variable area. Each design has its own unique uses, but they all share high accuracy and reliability.

PD fluid flow meters are available in spur gear or helical constructions. These designs work well with oil, fuels and nonabrasive liquids. Mass coriolis meters are available in sanitized units for use in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Turbine models are cost effective and work well with low-viscosity fluids and air. Variable-area flow meters are frequently used in pumps and hydraulic systems.

Fluid Flow Meters Provide Accurate Readings

There are some common features among all of the fluid flow meters, including:

  • High temperature or pressure models
  • The ability to work with a variety of monitoring equipment
  • A wide range of port-connection options
  • Weather-sealed designs for outdoor systems and those that incorporate wash downs

Many fluid flow meters can be installed vertically, horizontally or upside down. Most do not require straight piping on either end of their connections and can therefore quickly be added to most steady-state or batch processes. Some designs work well with air or gases and can be used with a variety of digital equipment.

AW Lake Company manufactures a wide range of products, including paddle wheel and differential pressure meters. The company also has both digital and analog monitoring, alarms and on-off switches.
