Accurate and reliable industrial flow meters are only part of an effective process. Engineers also need quality monitoring and control devices to be sure that a system runs smoothly.
Flow meters should be reliable enough to accommodate changes in an industrial process. For example, bi-directional devices and those that can handle a range of fluid speeds allow engineers to make adjustments to a system. While many flow meters can accommodate some changes, dramatic shifts in flow rates, pressure or temperature may require specialized measuring equipment.
Whether an industrial meter is used to measure water, gas or a contaminated stream, there are several control devices that can aid engineers. Most units can be read directly from the piping, but a remote monitoring system may be more practical. These items are fully programmable, so that flow, density and temperature readings can be taken as required by the engineers.
There is a variety of safeguards for systems that work with sterile or contaminated liquids. For example, these meters meet FDA regulations for the pharmaceutical and food industries. In dangerous environments, such as systems at very high temperatures or those that work with toxic materials, engineers may want to install alarms and on-off switches that are linked to the flow meters.
AW Lake Company offers a variety of industrial flow meters and control systems for engineers that work with water, fuels and many other gases and liquids. The company can also produce custom solutions as required by clients.
