What is an Insertion Flow Meter? – Types, Principle, Advantages
A classic example of an insertion flow meter element is the Annubar, a form of averaging pitot tube. Learn the types and principles.
Flow Measurement
Flow Measurement: Learn about Flow Sensors like Orifice, Venturi, Annubar, Pitot, Magnetic, Turbine, Ultrasonic, Coriolis flow meters, etc.
Change-of-Quantity Flow Measurement
Change-of-Quantity Flow Measurement uses load cells to precisely measure weight which is directly proportional to mass with constant gravity.
Standardized Volumetric Flow
Flow meters operate on principle of interpreting fluid flow based on velocity of fluid. Examples are Magnetic, ultrasonic, turbine, vortex flow meters
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) Principle
Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is an optical method of flow visualization used to obtain instantaneous velocity measurements and related properties in fluids.
Optical Flow Meter Principle
A recent development in industrial flow measurement is Optical Flow Meter which uses light to measure the velocity of a fluid through a pipe.
What is a Ultrasonic Flow Meter?
Ultrasonic flow meter measures fluid velocity by passing high-frequency sound waves along the fluid flow path.
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.
