Liquid flow meters are tools that let us measure how much liquid is moving at different places. There are different types of liquid flow meters for each application and some feature special characteristics. In this article, we explore a variety of liquid flow meters and their pros and cons to help guide your selection.
In a words, there are many types of liquid flow meters. Each works a bit differently to measure liquid flow. There are some commonly used types of flow meters including turbine flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, positive displacement flow meters, ultrasonic flow meters and vortex shedding flow meters.
One of the most popular types is the turbine flow meter. They do so by using a turbine wheel to measure the speed at which liquid flows through a pipe. Flow measurement Turbine flow meters are accurate, have good repeatability, and measure high flow rates . But they can be fickle based on how thick the liquid is, and require continuous maintenance.
Electromagnetic flow meters are also a good option. They use a magnetic field to gauge the liquid and test the voltage generated as it passes. These meters are highly accurate and can measure a range of flow rates. They don’t care how thick the liquid is. But they can be expensive, and they may have to be installed properly to take an accurate reading.
Positive displacement flow meters are ideal for viscous liquids such as oil, paint, or syrup. They operate by capturing a measured amount of liquid as it flows through the meter. We have found them to be very precise and be able to accommodate a range of thicknesses. They are insensitive to variations of temperature. Yet they can be bulky, costly and require consistent maintenance.
Ultrasonic flow meters use sound waves to detect how quickly a liquid moves through a pipe. They are non-invasive, as well as highly accurate. They can detect different flow rates, but may be responsive to temperature and pressure fluctuations. Vortex shedding flow meters Vortex shedding flow meters measure the number of vortices in a certain amount of time. They are precise and reliable and accommodate high flow rates, though they may require calibration for accuracy.
