If flow meters are the legs of flow measurement, flow computers are the brain. As the complexity and scale of energy systems increase flow computers provide an automated, accurate and efficient solution to enhance flow measurement, control and data management.
In an industry where sterilisation is crucial and flow meters need to be contactless and sanitary, clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters are ideal for the pharmaceutical industry.
An ultrasonic flow meter uses ultrasound to measure the velocity of liquid flow in order to determine the volume of the liquid flow.
With the world’s supply of fossil fuels running low and efforts to halt global warming needed, renewable energy sources have become a clear focus for both suppliers and consumers.
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters were invented as a portable tool to allow marine engineers to measure the flow rates of various liquids on ships, and for the ship building and maintenance industry to do the same for commercial and military vessels, including submarines.
Turbine flow meters are used to measure the velocity of liquids, gases and vapours in pipes, eg. hydrocarbons, water, chemicals, cryogenic liquids, air and industrial gases. In order to achieve a higher accuracy in measuring temperature, pressure, and fluid properties, turbine flow meters incorporate flow computer functionality.
Back in 2010 the Coalition Government set targets to create green technologies that lower carbon emissions and encourage an eco-friendly economy. This means a 300% increase in renewable energy production before the end of the decade, with over 50% of this renewable energy being bioenergy.
Underground mines can be dangerous places, where potentially harmful gases need to be monitored and controlled to reduce risks of explosions and allow standard mining operations to take place. So how can flow measurement be used in the mining industry and how does it reduce these risks?
Coriolis mass flow meters measure the mass flow and density of liquids such as water, acids, caustic, chemicals and gases/vapors.
Steam flow measurement can improve energy efficiency; therefore it has increased in interest. Before you start to measure steam flow rate it is beneficial to know the different options of flow metres to improve accuracy depending on its use.
