What drives the selection
Repeatability, response, minimum batch size, fluid properties and control integration
Candidate technologies
Electromagnetic, turbine, positive displacement, ultrasonic or Coriolis as appropriate. Each is a starting point requiring exact-model validation.
Electromagnetic flow meters
Lowest measured conductivity. Liner, electrode and seal compatibility.
CandidateTurbine, vortex and process flow meters
Liquid versus steam duty and fluid compatibility. Viscosity, range, response and repeatability.
Information to send with your enquiry
- Minimum, normal, continuous maximum and peak flow, including duration
- Repeatability, response, minimum batch size, fluid properties and control integration
- Connection, orientation, pressure, temperature and available straight pipe
- Power, data/reporting requirements, delivery pin code and quantity
What would rule a candidate out?
Check fluid incompatibility, an unsupported flow band, excessive pressure loss, unsuitable filling/orientation, missing power and an unproven approval or data interface. Resolve these before selecting by price.
