Why and How to Use Mass Flow Meter and Controller? Tips for your Benefits!

Image
In numerous research and production processes the important variable is mass and not volume. Hence measurement of mass is a vital procedure to be accomplished. Mass flowmeter and controller plays an essential role in measurement of mass. The mass flow meters and controller are relatively immune to fluctuations in temperature and pressure of the incoming flow. They are able to provide an extremely accurate, repeatable and reliable delivery of gas into the process. Top 5 reasons why to use mass flow meter and controller! ·          It is the most preferred measurement solutions for high flow rates of gasses. Where the technical efforts of a bypass measurement with capillary sensor and laminar flow element are exceeded. ·          Compared to traditional mass flow meter and controller with by pass, the construction of the direct measuring device is less sensitive to humidity and contamination. ·          The compact as well as robust instrument design conveys continuous mas

Turbine Flowmeters – Today’s Technology-of-Choice for Critical Fluid Flow Measurement Applications

Image
The aerospace industry has some of the most difficult operating conditions imaginable. Sensors of all kinds used in this industry must stand up to the environment and be able to perform under harsh conditions, fit in extremely tight spaces, and have electronics that can compensate for variable conditions in order to provide precise, repeatable results. In particular, flight instruments measuring fluid flow in aircraft fuel and hydraulic systems are required to operate over extreme temperature ranges, while enduring heavy vibration and shock, and withstand electromagnetic interference and voltage transients. And, as aerospace test environments become more severe (higher temperature, greater vibration) and test application requirements for measurement devices grow more stringent (smaller, lighter, more stable, higher accuracy), obtaining meaningful data can be challenging. Typical Flow Applications Where Turbine Flowmeters’ Use Is a Must From monitoring the fuel consumptio

Turbine Flowmeters – A Must-Have for the Process Industry

Image
A turbine flowmeter translates and quantifies the mechanical action outputted by the turbine while rotating in the liquid flow meter around an axis. This data is usually measured in familiar units such as gallons per minute or liters per minute. Once the fluid is pumped into the flow meter, small propellers or blades on the turbine are activated, the rotor starts to spin, and then the data is recorded. When the rotational spin of the rotor maintains a consistent speed, the speed is proportional to the velocity of the fluid. Turbine flowmeters are frequently used in the measurement of natural gas and liquid flow. Because turbine flowmeters allow higher flow rates and less pressure loss than displacement meters, they are favored by large commercial users, fire protection devices, and many water distribution systems. How Turbine Flowmeters Work in Process Industry? Turbine flowmeters are a popular way of measuring liquid and natural gas flow. Also known as an axial turbin

High Accuracy Turbine Flowmeters for Precise Measurements & Detailed Flow Data

In today’s oil and gas market, it is a constant challenge to keep a balance between operations, maintenance and compliance while delivering production targets on budget and schedule. Oil and gas producers are under pressure to meet stringent environmental regulations. Increasingly, they are seeking solutions for treating produced water and other byproducts at the drill pad without incurring the expense of off-site disposal. Many technologies are used to measure flow rate in oil and gas applications. Differential pressure flow meters are among the most common, but they are sensitive to pressure changes. Coriolis turbine flowmeters can provide high accuracy, but they can be large and costly. Turbine flowmeters are an especially good choice when ruggedness is needed. They can perform well under extreme conditions. The meters provide highly accurate and repeatable measurement of oils, water and some chemicals with a low cost of ownership. How the Technology in Turbine Flow

Role of Turbine Flowmeter in Measuring the Flow of Low Viscosity Fluids and Liquids

Image
Classic turbine flowmeters use propeller type turbines in a closed circular conduit. The turbine is mounted on low friction bearings and its rotation is detected through the chamber wall by one of a variety of detector types. These turbine flowmeters have good linearity in larger diameters but as the pipe bore reduces the efficiency of the flowmeter also reduces. How Turbine Flowmeters Help Measuring the Flow of Low Viscosity Fluids? For measuring the flow of low viscosity fluids within smaller diameter pipe applications – TrigasDM supplied turbine flowmeters employ a design where the flow of fluid is directed at the turbine that is mounted on robust low friction sapphire bearings. The geometry of the turbine and the fluid chamber ensures that the rotational speed of the rotor is proportional to the flow rate through the device. The use of this radial arrangement advantageously allows more energy to be imparted into the turbine so the bearing drag is far less important. Furt
