  Measure super-heated steam flow Introduction- Due to its inherent fluid properties and practical application, particularly across an extensive variety of flow rates, steam is very challenging to measure. For plant efficiency, energy efficiency, process control, and cost objectives, steam users are required to measure steam flow. Nowadays, many industrial and commercial businesses use energy cost accounting, energy conservation, monitoring, and targeted tactics. These devices enable you to reduce your electricity costs. A wide range of flowmeters made to measure the flow of different liquids and gases, including steam, are currently on the market. Few devices have been developed specifically for measuring steam flow. Why measure steam?  A steam flowmeter is an essential device to maintaining proper steam sanitation. It offers you with the information required to operate a building or a factory efficiently, such as how much steam is consumed and how much it costs. The main benefits of

Making Mass Flow Meters in India – for the world!

  Direct mass flow measurement of gases T he story of Development of Thermal Dispersion Mass Flow Meter by Manas. The Thermal Dispersion Mass Flow Meter is a comparatively new concept. In India, nobody was manufacturing it with indigenous technology. Even today, it is mostly imported in India from the US or some other European countries. The cheaper versions are also available from China. It is consuming a lot of foreign exchange of the country. Right from the beginning, Manas has worked on the strategy of developing and manufacturing the technology products in India. This was the main reason for going after the development of the Thermal Mass Flow Meter. The most important issue was how to test the meters under development or even a developed meter. A flow calibration laboratory was essential for this reason. The Thermal meter being a mass Flow Meter, the laboratory also required the capability of calibrating in terms of mass measurement. So, the first challenge was, setting up a ca

Understanding BTU Meters: How They Work & Uses in HVAC

Image
  Introduction BTU meters are an important tool used to measure the energy consumption of heating and cooling systems. They are widely used in commercial, industrial, and office buildings to accurately bill users for air conditioning energy usage. BTU meters can be used in a variety of systems, from chilled water systems to open heating/cooling systems. Manas Microsystems is a leading  BTU meter provider in India , offering a range of high-quality and accurate BTU meters for a variety of applications. In this blog, we will explore the working principle of BTU meters and different applications for which they are used. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at what a BTU meter is, how it works, and its various uses in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. What is a BTU Meter? A BTU meter, also known as a British Thermal Unit meter, is a device used to measure the energy consumption of HVAC systems. BTUs are units of energy used to measure heat energy, and a BTU meter is use

Working principle of Water Flow Meter

  What is water flow meter? And how does water flow meter work? The amount of water flowing through a pipe is measured using a water flow meter . Depending on the application for water being measured, the required level of maintenance, and the available budget, there are various water flow meter technologies to pick from. Each of these water flow meter types have a different operating principle, offer advantages for a particular application, and have an overall cost of ownership. So, which water flow meter is best for your application involving water flow measurement? Ultrasonic flow meters, magnetic flow meters, mechanical water flow meters and vortex volumetric flow meters are some of the important types of water flow meters. Ultrasonic Flowmeter for Water Industry Ultrasonic water flow meters use ultrasound to gauge a fluid velocity as it travels through a pipe in order to calculate volumetric flow. An ultrasonic signal is transmitted in the direction of the flowing fluid downstrea

Is it possible to measure pressurized air flow?

  Compressed air flow measurement Most industrial facilities require compressed air, whether for basic operations like air tool operation or for more complex tasks like pneumatic control operation. Compressed air is one of the most expensive energy sources within a factory. What is compressed air? Air that has been condensed or compressed to a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere, is known as compressed air. You compress air by taking a certain mass of air and compressing it into a smaller space. As the gas strives to return to its original volume in this smaller space, it creates pressure. Compressed air is costlier than steam. Furthermore, unlike steam, which is visible at the leaking spots, it is invisible when it seeps. This leakage is also a source of energy waste. It consumes more electricity than any other type of equipment, and it accounts for a large share of all electricity consumption in any industry. Where do we use compressed air flow? When air is compressed in a s

5 Things to keep in mind when installing a flow meter

        Install the flow meter yourself Following the purchase of a flow meter , proper installation and calibration are the subsequent stages in maintaining the equipment over its lifetime and lowering the cost of ownership to maximize the total facility’s cost savings. Once you’ve decided on the ideal flow meter for each fluid and application, making sure that it is installed correctly, is crucial for accurate flow readings. If your flow meter “doesn’t function,” it’s likely that it wasn’t installed correctly. Let’s have a look at some typical installation suggestions to help you save money and get the most out of your flow meters. 1- Check the measuring fluid conditions- Make sure the fluid you’re measuring is a single-phase fluid, which means it’s either a gas or a liquid. If the fluid is two-phased, the flow meter must be selected with the expectation of measurement under such conditions in mind. Also check the conductivity of the fluid, because some flow meters work well only

Principle and features of Electromagnetic Glow Meter

  What is an   Electromagnetic Flow Meter? An Electromagnetic Flow Meter is a volumetric flow meter which is often known as a magnetic flow meter (Magmeter, Flowmeter, Flow Measuring Device, Magflow, etc.). This meter works on the principle of Faraday’s law of induction. It’s a transducer that uses the voltage created across a liquid by its flow via a magnetic field to measure fluid flow. It is widely used for the flow measurement of conducting fluids. These are used for the measurement of drinking water as well as wastewater applications, for any dirty liquids that are conductive or water-based, raw water, etc. What is the working principle of an Electromagnetic Flow Meter? A set of coils generates the magnetic field in an Electromagnetic Flow Meter. An electric voltage is induced in the conductive liquid as it passes through the electromagnetic field, and it is directly proportional to its velocity. Both the liquid flow direction and the electromagnetic field direction are perpendic
