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…
Gas Flow Formulas
Gas Flow Units MMSCFD - Million standard cubic feet of gas per day - a common volume of gas measure (unit abbreviation MMscf) SCFD - Standard cubic feet per day (gas) SCFM - Standard cubic feet…
RS485 Serial Communication
RS232, RS422, RS423 and RS485 are serial communication methods for computers and devices. RS232 is without doubt the best known interface, because this serial interface is implemented on almost all…
