5 Best Practices for Calibrating Flow Meter
A flow meter is a special device that measures the amount of gas or quantity of liquid or its flow rate moving through the pipe. Too little or too much gas or liquid flowing through the pipe may result in the malfunctioning of the machine. A proper reading is imperative at all times. Flow meters are used by measurement and test professionals in applications that depend on accurate flow measurements such as in utilities, energy, aerospace, water management, HVAC, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture industries. Flow meters are also frequently used to ensure optimum functioning of different types of industrial machines. Due to their frequent use, flow meters are susceptible to inaccurate readings. Even the most broken-in flow meters can easily veer off of calibration. It is only natural as instruments’ performance weakens with time due to certain parts wearing out or breaking. For instance, flow meters are easily affected by dirt that exists within the media that travels throu...
