In this article, we will study the working of Variable Area Flowmeters. Variable Area Flow Meters Principle & Operation: How to determine the flow rate of fluid in Variable Area Flow Meters? The flow rate can be calculated by using the following relation Q = k*A*√ (g*h) Where: Q = flow rate in GPM k …
Differential pressure measurement is a commonly used method to measure the flow across an obstruction. Differential pressure is in direct proportion to the square of the flow. The square root relationship is applied only for DP-type flow measurements. These DP sensors or DP transmitters can measure differential pressure across various obstructions made in the flow …
What is a condensate pot and where is it used? A condensate pot is mostly utilized in steam pipelines to achieve accurate flow measurement. A condensate pot is capable to provide an interface between the vapor and the liquid. The condensate pot will be installed in the pipeline and it will be installed near the …

In this article, we will discuss the fluids in the sugar industry and cogeneration plants. The various fluid types are cane juice, imbibition water, syrup, massecuite, molasses, return condensate, boiler feedwater, main steam, exhaust steam, and so on… The selection of the flow meter is a very important aspect because there are a variety of …

Flow is the measurement of the fluid velocity per unit area in a pipe or a conduit. By using a flow sensor, we could measure the amount of gas, liquid, or vapor. A flow meter consists of a transducer and also a transmitter. Flow measurement methods Direct method In this type of flow measurement, the …
What is a flow sensor and what are the different types of flow sensors? Read More »
In certain conditions, we won’t be able to use an electronic flowmeter so in that case, we can use a mechanical flow meter. So unlike an electronic flow meter, the mechanical flowmeter has moving parts like turbine or rotors and that’s the major difference between an electronic flow meter and a mechanical flow meter. The …
The flow rate can be calculated by measuring the velocity of the flow by using a velocity flow meter. These flow meters are used widely because they would provide the proper measurement of the fluid velocity. The velocity flow meters are really sensitive to the flow conditions. The operation of this flow meter is dependent …
A prover is a device that is used to check the flow meter and we can use this to check the liquid or the gas flowmeter and a prover can be used to calibrate the flow meter. We can test a flowmeter by using a prover, the meter proving is done to determine the accuracy …
A target meter is used to measure the dirty or corrosive liquids, not all the fluids would be clean and we need to measure the dirty fluids and it can be done by using a target meter. A target meter can also be used to measure the gases with dust particles. The target meter would …
What is an open channel flow? The open channel flow is the flow of the liquid on a free surface, some of the open channel flows are dams and irrigation channels. The surface pressure will be equal to the atmospheric pressure in an open channel. There is some human-made open-channel flow and they are drainage …
