Many industrial process control operations require fluid flow measurement as an essential element in the design of the process. The proper application and installation of a flow meter as part of the fluid transfer system will provide accurate flow measurement.
Industrial flow meters use different technologies to measure fluid flow rates directly or indirectly. Some of the most common technologies for fluid flow measurement are vortex flow meters, magnetic flow meters, Coriolis flow meters and rotameters.
Each separate technology has attributes that can make it more suitable for certain applications. The selection of the most appropriate flow measurement technology for an application is an initial and crucial step in the design of a functioning fluid measurement system.
Selection criteria such as fluid temperature, pressure and velocity will be included in the selection process. Further considerations include whether the fluid may be abrasive, corrosive, clean or dirty. The state of the fluid, liquid or gas, must also be taken into account.
The table above provides general guidance on which technologies to consider, based on the above mentioned factors. This will help you to focus further research on product selection.
