Liquid Flow Meters and Switches

A water flow meter is a device which is used to measure the flow of liquid. It is also a useful device which facilitates in measuring the amount of liquid that flows through the pipes. These devices are generally installed in most of the industrial and domestic areas for the purpose of accurate measurement. It also helps to identify if there is leakage of water. Basically, there are two board classifications for these devices which include the velocity meter and the displacement water meter. The compound meters are another variety which is a unique combination of both the displacement and the velocity meters. However, there are different variations of these two meters which include different features and prices. In addition to the analog meters that are in use even today, there are digital meters which offer a higher level of precision and efficiency. These flow meters use various techniques to calculate and measure the flow of liquids. Some of the most commonly us...

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...
