Flow Measurement for Industrial Applications

Electromagnetic Flowmeters — Electromagnetic flowmeters measure the volumetric flow of conductive liquids using electromagnetic induction. They are widely considered for water, wastewater, conductive chemicals and slurry where the process medium is compatible with the liner and electrodes.

Vortex Flowmeters — Vortex flowmeters detect vortices generated as fluid passes a bluff body. They can be applied to liquids, gases and steam and are particularly relevant to steam, utility and industrial gas measurement.

Ultrasonic and Clamp-On Flowmeters — Ultrasonic instruments use acoustic signals to determine fluid velocity. Clamp-on designs can measure suitable liquids externally without cutting the pipeline, making them useful for surveys, verification and temporary measurement.

Coriolis Mass Flowmeters — Coriolis meters measure mass flow directly and can be considered where accurate mass measurement is important, subject to correct sizing, pressure drop and material compatibility.

Thermal Mass Flowmeters — Thermal mass meters measure gas mass flow using heat transfer principles and are particularly useful for compressed air and compatible industrial gases.

Differential Pressure and Pitot Tube Flowmeters — Differential pressure and insertion technologies can be useful for gases, steam, compressed air and larger pipelines where pressure loss and installation constraints must be considered.

Turbine, Variable Area and Other Flowmeters — Turbine, variable area, water meter, micro-flow and other specialised technologies can be considered where the application calls for a specific measurement range or operating arrangement.
