Flow meter

Vortex flowmeters are widely used for measuring both liquid water and steam in industrial applications.Although the fundamental measuring principle remains the same, the physical properties of the media—such as density, viscosity, temperature, and pressure—lead to significant differences in installation requirements, compensation methods, and sensor selection. This article explains the common principles and key differences between […]

Mass flow meters, such as Coriolis mass flow meters, require calibration of the zero point and full scale to ensure measurement accuracy. This process eliminates zero drift and range deviations, ensuring optimal performance. Below are the detailed steps and key considerations for calibration. 1. Pre-calibration Preparations 1.1 Check Operating Conditions Correct Installation: Ensure the flow

Orifice plate flowmeters are widely used in industrial flow measurement due to their simple structure and standardized design. However, because the measurement principle is based on differential pressure, their performance is highly sensitive to installation conditions, process parameters, and impulse piping systems. In practical applications, most failures can be classified into two main categories: Abnormal

In industrial plants, energy metering systems, and water or wastewater applications, inaccurate flow readings are a common complaint.Very often, the first assumption is that the flow meter itself is faulty or poorly selected. However, real field experience shows a different truth: In most cases, inaccurate flow measurement is caused by improper installation and unfavorable process

When selecting materials for acid and alkali-resistant flow meters, it’s important to consider factors such as the material of the measuring tube, electrodes, lining, and the properties of the acidic or alkaline medium, including concentration and temperature. Below is an overview of suitable materials based on these criteria. Measuring Tube Materials: Hastelloy: Known for its

In industries such as chemical, water treatment, and metallurgy, electromagnetic flowmeters have become the go-to solution for measuring conductive fluid flow, thanks to their no pressure loss, corrosion resistance, and excellent linearity. However, issues like weak signals prone to interference, improper grounding causing data drift, and installation errors affecting accuracy often challenge instrument technicians. PART 01: What is

In the field of instrumentation, theoretical knowledge is like the wrench in your hand — it might seem insignificant, but if you lack it, it can cause problems when you need it most! Whether you’re preparing for certification exams or aiming to strengthen your practical skills, understanding circuit diagrams, sensor principles, and troubleshooting logic is

Steam, as a critical energy carrier, finds extensive application in industrial heating, power generation, and production processes. This article provides a comprehensive overview of steam types, quality, measurement methods, common challenges, and associated instruments. 1. Types of Steam Steam can be classified into several types based on its pressure, temperature, and state: Saturated Steam Produced

Introduction: A common issue in flow measurement systems is the occurrence of small readings even when no flow is present. This phenomenon, caused by zero drift in the meter, can lead to inaccurate data, false alarms, and interference with control systems. The small signal cut-off feature is designed to address this issue by eliminating these

1. Introduction The V-cone flow meter—also known as an internal-cone or V-type cone flow meter—is an advanced differential-pressure flow measurement device first developed in the 1980s. Its introduction is widely regarded as a breakthrough in differential-pressure technology due to its unique throttling structure and exceptional measurement stability. Designed for liquids, gases, and steam, the V-cone
