Great Tips for Flowmeter Selection



reliable flow measurement solution
Selecting the best flowmeter is very important to achieving the most accurate measurements and continuing success of your equipment. Every application needs a different combination of flow meter and switch depending on various factors listed below.
1.) The type of fluid or gas to be measured
2.) Inertness between the flow meter material and the fluid or gas passing through it
3.) The nature of the process — whether intermittent or perpetual
4.) Circumstances of the surroundings — whether working in hazardous situation
5.) Extent of precision required
6.) Maximum and minimum flow rates
7.) Viscosity of the fluid or gas
8.) Temperature of the fluid or gas
9.) Type of readings required

Top Quality Flow Meters for Die Casting Industry

What is die casting? Die casting is a specific manufacturing process that produces sharply defined, accurately dimensioned, textured or smooth-surfaced metal parts. It relies on metal casting; a technique that forces molten metal under extremely high pressures into reusable mold cavities (also called metal dies).  Mould cavities are made using two toughened steel dies which are machined into a particular shape. They operate similarly to an injection mould. A majority of die casting are manufactured from various non-ferrous metals such as copper, zinc, aluminum, lead, tin-based alloys and pewter. The type of metal that is casted will determine whether a cold or hot chamber machine is used. The process of die casting is sometimes explained as the nonstop route between a raw material and a finished product. “Die casting” may also describe a finished part. What role do flow meters play in die casting? In die casting, a flow meter may be used in two situations: die cooling and o...

3 Tips When Buying a Liquid Flow Meter

Image
Choosing a mass flow meter requires a bit of knowledge about what is being measured. Both gas and liquid can be quantified using gauges that compute the flow at kilograms per second or liters per second in relation to the density of the material. Each device is different and you can't use the same meter for both wastewater plant and potable water, for example. But choosing one that's perfect for you will not be as difficult if you follow the tips below.   Make a checklist   What is the material to be measured: is it liquid or gas? If so, what type of liquid or gas are you working with? Is the liquid dirty or clean? Do you want the process the information manually or remotely? What about the temperature conditions of the plant and the material, are they hot or cold? Measuring hot water may need a gauge that will compensate for the change in temperature to get an accurate reading. Make sure you consider in your checklist the following: the liquid viscosity, corros...
