How does an Orifice Measures Flow?
An Orifice Meter is used to measure the rate of flow of Liquid, Gas, or steam using the differential pressure measurement principle.
An Orifice Meter is used to measure the rate of flow of Liquid, Gas, or steam using the differential pressure measurement principle.
By measuring change in pressure, the flow rate can be determined, as in various flow measurement devices such as venturi flow meter, orifice plates.
Dall tube is shortened version of Venturi meter, with a lower pressure drop than orifice plate. Flow rate is determined by measuring pressure drop.
V Cone flow meter is a differential pressure (DP) meter. These flow meters all work according to the same principle of DP flow sensors or devices.
A differential pressure flow meter works on the principle of partially obstructing the flow in the pipe and measures the flow rate based on DP.
In Differential Pressure Meters, obstructing flow is used to create a pressure drop. The flow rate is calculated using Bernoulli’s principle.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Different Flow Meters like Electromagnetic Flowmeters, Ultrasonic Flowmeters, Coriolis Mass Flowmeters, DP Flowmeters
Types of flow meters are divided into two groups. One measures quantity (Positive Displacement); the other measures rate of flow (Inferential).
Coriolis flow meter works by vibrating one or more tubes carrying flowing fluid, then measuring the frequency and phase to find mass flow rate.
