Does a flow meter with a transmitter measure in liters or cubic meters?
What kind of flow meter do you have? Your question is too general.

Volumetric flow rate (it doesn’t really matter for liquids; it probably refers to compressed gases), and the results of measurements are generally given in cubic units! However, we often see that the instrument displays standard square units, which have been calculated after taking the process conditions into account! If precise measurement is required, temperature and pressure compensation is also needed!
For gases, it’s possible to measure in cubic units or standard cubic units; it depends on the requirements you specify to the manufacturer. Either method is acceptable, but gas measurements generally require temperature and pressure compensation. . Our units are usually cubic meters. .
“Does a flow meter with a transmitter measure in liters or cubic meters? ”The question posed by the original poster is likely about measuring gases; in fact, the volume flow rate measured can be expressed either in standard cubic units or in cubic meters, with a conversion being made using Bernoulli’s equation. Each flow meter (such as orifice plates, V-cones, etc.) comes with a specific calculation sheet, which distinguishes between cubic and standard cubic values. In our company, gases are generally measured in standard cubic meters per hour, while liquids are usually measured in kg/H or t/H.
It mainly depends on how your flow meter is designed and manufactured; it has little to do with the transmitter.
