Comparative Analysis and Selection Guide for Bar-Type Differential Pressure Flow Meters

1. Overview Bar-type flow meters, also known as insertion differential pressure flow meters, operate based on Bernoulli’s principle. By measuring the differential pressure generated across the sensor (total pressure minus static pressure), they calculate flow velocity and volume. Their simple structure, low pressure loss, and ease of installation make them ideal for large-diameter pipelines (typically […]

Temperature and Pressure Compensation in Steam Flow Measurement: Principles and Application

1. What Is Temperature and Pressure Compensation? Temperature and pressure compensation refers to the process of correcting flow measurements by accounting for real-time temperature and pressure deviations from standard conditions. These two factors—temperature and pressure—have significant influence on gas and steam flow readings. To achieve accurate flow measurement results, it is essential to apply compensation

Why Do Pressure Transmitters Exhibit Zero Drift More Frequently Than Temperature Transmitters?

1. Differences in Application Requirements Pressure transmitters—especially differential pressure transmitters—often require range adjustments based on specific field conditions. For example, when used for level measurement in sealed tanks, condensation of the gas-phase medium can cause condensate to accumulate in the impulse lines or low-pressure chambers. This creates an unintended static pressure, resulting in output deviation.

Is Higher Accuracy Always Better for Pressure Transmitters?

Pressure transmitter accuracy is a key indicator of measurement reliability. However, the belief that “higher accuracy is always better” is not universally applicable. In industrial practice, the selection of a pressure transmitter should be based on actual application requirements, rather than pursuing the highest specification available. 1. Understanding Accuracy in Pressure Transmitters Accuracy defines how
