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.
Flow Measurement
Flow Measurement: Learn about Flow Sensors like Orifice, Venturi, Annubar, Pitot, Magnetic, Turbine, Ultrasonic, Coriolis flow meters, etc.
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.
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.
