Flow meter is a measuring instrument used to measure the volume & mass flow rate of a liquid or a gas. A common application of such Flow meters is for measuring Volume Flow Rate of Water in pipes. Flow can be defined as the volume or mass of fluid flowing through the pipe per unit of time.  Measurement of flow either in a liquid or gas (including water/waste-water/effluent), an important parameter in many industrial & water infra processes.

To maintain the performance of industrial equipment and operations, it requires specific flow rates. Flow meter is also needed for studying water balance in networks, load management, custody transfer & revenue generation. Moreover in many process applications, maintaining the quality of the product requires accurate flow measurements.

Thus the Flow meter is a good investment that helps in industrial & infra processes management, and to provide a safer environment and security for personnel and processes. Flow meter have a wide range of applications ; they can measure the flow of liquids, pastes, and slurries in water/waste-water, dairy, agricultural, pharmaceutical, beverage, chemical, industries, fertilizer, medical, petrochemical, iron, steel, paper, mining, food, etc.

What are the factors to be considered while choosing the type of Flow meter?

• Fluid/Gas Properties (i.e.conductivity)
• Process Specs & Condition (Line Size, Line above ground/below ground, Flow Range,  Line Pressure, Temperature, etc).
• Ruggedity of Construction
• Field Provenness
• Advanced Features
• User Friendliness & Supplier Support
