Industrial Flow Meters: A Comprehensive Guide to Selection and Types
A flow meter is an instrument that is used to measure the volumetric flow rate of a liquid or a gas. There are different types of flow meters, such as ultrasonic flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, and others.
Key Considerations When Buying a Flow Meter
- Flow measurement type: Volumetric or mass flow measurement
- Media: Liquid/ gas/slurry
- Media conditions: Pressure and temperature of media, and whether media conditions are likely to remain constant or vary
- Flow range: Required flow range of media (min and max readings required)
- Accuracy: Required accuracy of the readings
- Environmental considerations: In certain applications, hygienic installation or tamper-proof readings are required.
Types of Flow Meters
Ultrasonic Flow Meter
An ultrasonic flow meter is a type of flow meter that measures the velocity of a fluid with ultrasound. The clamp-on sensors in the device non-intrusively generate and receive ultrasonic waves. An ultrasonic flow meter is suitable for homogeneous fluids with less suspended solids and gas bubbles. Toshniwal Ultrasonic flow meters are widely used in water treatment facilities. They are also used for measuring challenging liquids such as acids and alkalis.
Electromagnetic Flow Meter
Toshniwal electromagnetic flow meters are used for accurately measuring the flow rate of liquids or slurries. Our electromagnetic flow meter is obstruction less. It needs no maintenance as there are no moving parts. It is used widely for measuring the flow rate of sewage, sugar syrup, coal slurry, hard water Beverages Alkalis and acids, Chemical solution.
Oval Gear Flow Meter
An oval gear flow meter has high-precision oval gear rotors. The rotors rotate within an enclosure. The frequency of rotation gives a measurement of the volumetric flow rate. Our Oval gear flow meter comes with a digital display and a mechanical display. It has high-quality construction for housing oval gears. Our oval gear meter is weights and measures certified by legal metrology and PESO certified. Our oval gear flow meter is used in the Petrochemical industry and the Chemical industry too.
V-Cone Flow Meter
A V-cone flow meter is a differential pressure flow meter that is used for measuring liquid, steam or gas in rugged conditions. Toshniwal V-cone flow meters can be easily customised as per the needs of the industry. An excellent combination of performance, low maintenance and durability, our V-cone flow meters are used for the most challenging applications. They can be used in:
- Oil/gas production
- Chemical production
- Food & beverage industry
- Plastic industry
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Textile industry
- Power and water & wastewater applications
