Selection of Flowmeters based on fluids in the Sugar Industry

Flow Measurement

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 …

Different types of orifice plates

Flow Measurement, Instrumentation

Introduction Orifice plates are mainly used for flow measurements. The orifice consists of a flat plate with a hole drilled in it. When a fluid passesthrough an orifice, the discharge is often considerably less than the amount calculated on the assumption that the energy is conserved and that the flow through the orifice is uniform and parallel.There are different types of orifice plates used for different fluids/process.  This reduction in flow is normally due to a contraction of the stream which takes place …
