Selection of flow meters for low-temperature methanol washing units
Thread Content
How are the flow meters used in low-temperature methanol washing units performing? Are there any suitable recommendations? I welcome everyone’s advice; thank you!
Where conventional flow meters can be used, try not to employ new products
We originally used target type instruments, and later changed some of them to vortex street type ones, but the results were still not good. What kind of instruments does everyone use?

For pipes smaller than 12 inches, with a Reynolds number greater than 5000 and a flow velocity of less than 10 meters per second, using vortex flow meters should not present any problems. If the performance is indeed poor, investigate the cause of the issue.
