Ultrasonic gas flowmeters use sound waves to measure gas viscosity, density, and temperature. Three main types are transmission, Doppler shift, and open channel. They are less expensive and invasive than mechanical flow meters and can accurately measure gas properties. They have many applications in industries such as wastewater and petrochemicals and can measure non-conductive fluids […]
A volumetric flowmeter measures fluid flow by placing an obstruction in the flow path that displaces a known amount of fluid. It can accurately measure a wide range of fluids, but is sensitive to dirty or corrosive fluids. It is widely used in commercial and domestic applications. A volumetric flowmeter is an instrument that measures […]
Flowmeters measure fluid or gas flow and can express results in volumetric or mass units. There are different types of flowmeters, including mechanical, pressure, optical, and thermal. They are used in various industries and applications for process control and billing purposes. A flowmeter is a device used to measure the fluid or gas moving through […]
Tube flowmeters measure liquid or gas pressure in pipes. Open channel flowmeters are used for non-hazardous liquids, orifices use a disc to restrict fluid flow, venturi tubes create a bottleneck for more accurate measurement, and pitot tubes measure gas pressure. More complex forms exist. A tube flowmeter measures the pressure of the flow of liquids […]
Different types of natural gas flow meters are used to measure the amount of gas passing through a point, depending on the location and amount of gas. Mechanical meters are used for constant flow, while thermal mass meters are used for varying flow and can send information via radio or internet. They are used to […]
A multiphase flowmeter measures the different forms of matter produced by oil and gas extraction, allowing for individual flow measurement of each component. It can recognize every material, regardless of phase, and provide important measurements specific to the operation, improving operations and providing more information than single-phase flowmeters. It can also work in situations where […]
Doppler flowmeters use the Doppler effect to measure volumetric flow through a tube by transmitting an ultrasonic signal that reflects off particles or bubbles in the liquid. The frequency shift is converted into a volume flow, and they can be single or two-sensor devices. They are non-intrusive, require little maintenance, and work on many types […]
