Flow Meter Solutions

Flow meter solutions are required for many different types of industries. Variables like viscosity, temperature and pressure must be considered when choosing the measurement method. Above all, it is important to use highly accurate devices to control a process.

Engineers must consider fluid composition when choosing a flow meter solution. For example, petroleum and water-based fluids have different properties and applications. Water used in a cooling process is measured differently than oil used for machine lubrication. In addition to flow, engineers may also want data that shows the liquids' pressure and temperature.

Flow Meter Solutions for Any Application

Due to the often delicate nature of flow speeds, meter measurements must be very accurate. Units should give readings that are accurate to plus-or-minus 0.5 percent. Additionally, the flow meters should handle rates that range from a fraction of a GPM to 100 GPM. The maximum pressure of the process is also considered when looking for flow meter solution because high-pressure processes may call for different instruments.

Flow meter monitors and alarms are another key aspect of a controlled system. Monitors may be mounted or installed remotely, depending on the needs of the engineers. On-off switches and fluid alarms are available for both the steady-state and batch processes. The ability to operate in high temperatures adds to the reliability of these devices.
