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...

Great Tips for Flowmeter Selection

reliable flow measurement solution Selecting the best flowmeter is very important to achieving the most accurate measurements and continuing success of your equipment. Every application needs a different combination of flow meter and switch depending on various factors listed below. 1.) The type of fluid or gas to be measured 2.) Inertness between the flow meter material and the fluid or gas passing through it 3.) The nature of the process — whether intermittent or perpetual 4.) Circumstances of the surroundings — whether working in hazardous situation 5.) Extent of precision required 6.) Maximum and minimum flow rates 7.) Viscosity of the fluid or gas 8.) Temperature of the fluid or gas 9.) Type of readings required For more info on selecting the proper meter go to Proteus Industries by clicking HERE
