What is a Positive Displacement Flow Meter?
Positive Displacement Flow Meter are rotary in nature, meaning each shaft revolution represents a certain volume of fluid has passed through meter.
What is a Weigh Feeder?
Most common weigh feeder design consists of a conveyor belt with a section supported by rollers coupled to one or more load cells.
What is a Magnetic Flow Meter?
Magnetic Flow Meter based on electromagnetic induction. These flow meters are commonly known as magnetic flowmeters or simply magflow meters.
What is a Paddle Wheel Flow Meter?
A variation of turbine flow measurement is the paddle wheel flow meter, a very inexpensive technology usually in the form of an insertion-type flow sensor.
What is a Turbine Flow Meter?
Turbine flow meter use a free-spinning turbine wheel to measure fluid velocity, much like a miniature windmill installed in the flow stream.
What is a Vortex Flow Meter?
Vortex Flow Meter based on phenomenon is known as vortex shedding. When fluid moves in a pipe then vortices will form when flow hit the bluff body.
What is a Velocity-based Flow Meter?
Velocity-based Flow Meter able to directly measure fluid velocity, therefore capable of inferring volumetric flow rate of fluid in a pipe.
Weirs and Flumes Flow Measurement
Open-channel flow meter is weir, which is nothing more than a dam obstructing passage of liquid through channel. Study Weirs and Flumes Flow Measurement.
What is a Variable Area Flow Meter?
An example of a variable area flow meter is the rotameter, which uses float as a flow indicator, suspended in the midst of a tapered tube.
Runaway Processes
A classic “textbook” example of a runaway process is an inverted pendulum: a vertical stick balanced on its end by moving the bottom side-to-side. Inverted pendula are typically constructed in…
