How to improve the accuracy of the flow meter?

In today’s economic environment, energy usage has become a huge concern, particularly on energy efficiency and using flow meters to guarantee accuracy in energy measurement. In today’s economic environment, energy usage has become a huge concern, particularly on energy efficiency and using flow meters to guarantee accuracy in energy measurement.


However, there are certain limiting factors, which can affect the accuracy of flow meter systems. The following is a discussion on various technologies that can be used to improve flow meter accuracy:
Temperature Sensory Accuracy: Let us take an application from matched-pair temperature-sensing technology.
Flow Computer Accuracy: Today’s advances in computer technology enable professionals to use flow computers to check calculations
Flow Meter Accuracy: Optimal flow velocity has a standard range of accuracy of up to 0.5%, when using flow meter technology.

Devices that measure extremely low flow rates

A flow meter has the following three operating categories:
Flow Measurement: The accuracy of flow measuring devices ranges around +/-5.0%, even though we are now aware that a flow meter is not the only factor in arriving at an error percentage.
Flow Indication: In this category, flow meters have accuracies that range from +/- 5.0% to +/- 50.0%. This is a vast range and the reasons for determining the flow will be dependent upon the application and use of the data that is collected.
Flow Switch: Error rates above +/- 50% classify devices as flow switches. This gives an on or off indication used to start and stop pumps so that they don’t dry up!

Reducing Energy Use in a Pumped Water System

In light of the information presented here, it is important for end-users to keep in mind that flow meter accuracy can be improved in the low-velocity range provided certain technologies are used alongside.

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...
