Water Flow Meter And Industrial Application


Water flow meters are used to measure the volume of water used in commercial and residential buildings. The water is supplied to homes and offices via a public water supply system. Water meters may also be used at water sources or throughout the water system to calculate the flow rate of a part of the system. Water flow meters may also measure the flow rate of slurries or fluids in closed pipes. The flow rate of water is measured in cubic metres (m3) or litres on an electronic or mechanical register.
Water flow meters can measure hot water, cold water, clean water, dirty water and slurries.

 Two common methods are used in water flow meter measurement: velocity and displacement flow meters. Each type takes advantage of a variety of technologies.

Paddle Wheel Water Flow Meter

The Paddlewheel sensor is a cost effective and most commonly used water flow meter. It may also be used to measure flow rates of water-like fluids. Many paddlewheel sensors are sold with insertion or flow fittings. Like turbine meters, they require a 10 pipe diameters of straight pipe on the inlet and 5 pipe diameters on the outlet. The rotor of the paddlewheel sensor is fitted perpendicular to the flow rate. It will make contact with a limited cross-section of the flow.

Positive Displacement Flow Meter

This type of flow meter is used in applications where a straight pipe is not available and if a paddlewheel sensor and turbine flow meter would experience too much commotion. Positive displacement flow meters are used for viscous liquids as well.

Magnetic Flow Meters

This type of flow meter does not have moving parts and used in wastewater applications or with dirty liquids that are conductive. Displays are an important part of this type of flow meter which can be used for data logging or remote monitoring.

Ultrasonic Mass Flow Meter For Industries
 
This flow meter is used in applications where sewage and dirt are involved such as waste water, slurries and other dirty liquids. This type of water usually damages conventional flow meters. Ultrasonic flow meters operate on the principle that a frequency shift of the ultrasonic signal occurs when it is reflected by gas bubbles or suspended particles in motion. This is also known as the Doppler Effect.

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...
