Different Types of Liquid Flow Meters

Different Kinds of Liquid Flow Meters

There are different kinds of liquid flow meters, depending on the circumstances in which the flow meters are used. 


 1. Closed pipe flow meter:
The closed pipe flow meter is a type of flow meter that is used for fluids flowing in a closed conduit like sewer, kitchen pipeline, water pipeline, fuel pipeline, etc. and the open channel includes measuring the flow in a non-constricted area. 

2. Differential Pressure Flow Meter:
Being the most common flow meter in use, it has primary and secondary component. The first component changes the kinetic energy and the second one measure the differential pressure, which produces a signal that can be changed to get the flow rate.  

3. Velocity Flow Meters:
This flow meter operates directly with the volume flow rate. It translates the data of the velocity of water into its volume. When the flow meter is used with Reynold’s number greater than 10,000, the flow meter becomes insensitive to the viscosity change of the fluid.

4. Positive Displacement Flow Meter:
The flow of water is measured by correlating it with the number of times the chamber is filled and emptied with water. It includes Nutating Disc, Rotary Vane Meter, Reciprocating Piston Meter, and Oval Gear.  

5. Mass Flow Meter:
This flow meter measures the mass of fluid flowing through a particular point per unit time. This flow meter consists of Coriolis and Thermal Flow Meter.

6. Open Channel Flow Meter:
It refers to the liquid flowing in the free surface and analyzes the flow rate by measuring the water depth. It has two categories- Weirs and Flumes.

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...
