  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 downs...

  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...

        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 met...

  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 ...

In today's economic climate, energy usage has become a major concern, particularly in terms of energy efficiency. The increase in energy consumption has made it extremely important for industries and end users to measure energy usage as precisely as possible, so as to avoid wastage of energy. There is good reason to use flow meters in several applications to ensure accuracy in energy measurement.    In this article, we will discuss this issue in connection with chilled and heated water applications. In this application, for measuring energy consumption, a temperature and flow-measuring device is installed in chilled or heated water circuits. When linked to a BTU (British Thermal Unit) meter, the data allows end users to determine how energy is used, where and how it is used, and take appropriate steps toward improvement. But how all this is done? Let us understand a little more about a BTU meter.  What is BTU Meter ?...

  What Is Draft : Draft means a difference in pressure or differential pressure. The word draft is usually used for very low-pressure differentials up to 1000 mmwc. It is measured with the help of a transducer that converts this small differential pressure to a small electrical signal. This signal, in turn, is amplified to standard values like 4 – 20 mA, 0 – 5.0 Volts, etc., and then used for display as well as control.   Applications of Draft Measurement and control: In two main applications draft measurement and control is essential. 1. HVAC Applications 2. Boiler Applications   Here we are talking about Boiler applications. Measuring and controlling the furnace draft is important for two reasons. To increase combustion efficiency To maintain safe operating conditions.   Uncontrolled draft causes poor, non-efficient operation of a furnace (poor combustion efficiency), unstable pilot flame, build-ups of highly toxic gases like carbon monoxide, soot accumulation due ...
