Problems with rotary mass flow meters?
Thread Content
A swirl-type flow meter has been installed for pure water in the factory; I would like to ask whether this is appropriate After checking, it seems that rotary flow meters are suitable for measuring gases. If it’s not suitable, which type of flow meter can be chosen?
What is the diameter? What are the operating conditions? What is the budget? Vortex flow meters and orifice plates are options; consider quality. If cost-effectiveness is a priority, choose a volumetric water meter
Vortex flowmeters are indeed primarily used for measuring gases; for liquids with low viscosity such as pure water, electromagnetic flowmeters or ultrasonic flowmeters can be chosen. These two types of flowmeters provide high accuracy in measuring pure water, and are not affected by significant changes in the medium. .
For general measurements, contact the design institute to have a vortex flow meter installed; for applications related to feed ratio control, a mass flow meter is used. For pure water, electromagnetic and ultrasonic flow meters are appropriate. Are you trying to create a PPT to pretend something works?
Pure water does not conduct electricity; how could electromagnetic methods be used? That’s ridiculous. For pure water, liquid turbine flow meters, orifice plates, and vortex flow meters can all be used
For measuring pure water, the diameter doesn’t need to be very large; rotameters, ultrasonic sensors, and vortex flow meters can all be used
