What type of flow meter is suitable for 50% hydrogen peroxide (which may contain bubbles)?
It has bubbles, so no type of flow meter will be very accurate with it； It is recommended to use weighing for measurement when conditions permit. Thank you!
If there are bubbles, there might be problems with pipeline transportation, let alone measurement. Just install a rotameter on the vertical pipe. Vent at the high point.
Bubbles are the small bubbles that may form as a result of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. So, what type of flow meter do you use for transporting hydrogen peroxide?
A mass flow meter cannot be used for this purpose, as the presence of bubbles can cause pressure-induced resonance as they pass through the U-tube, resulting in increased stress and inaccurate measurements. Those situations where bubbles are present occasionally may allow the use of a mass flow meter; however, for applications requiring precise measurement, a float flow meter is recommended. For applications that demand high precision, an exhaust device should be installed. This is just my personal opinion – please point out any errors if there are any
Personally, I recommend using a mass flow meter after removing bubbles, as it is not affected by flow conditions or temperature
