Flow monitoring can be achieved using various techniques, each suited to different types of fluids and operating conditions:
1. Turbine Flow Meters: These meters measure flow based on the rotational speed of a turbine placed in the fluid stream. They are suitable for liquids and gases. 2. Coriolis Flow Meters: These advanced meters measure mass flow rate by detecting changes in the vibration of a U-shaped tube through which the fluid passes. 3. Ultrasonic Flow Meters: Utilizing sound waves, these meters measure flow rate by detecting changes in frequency as the waves pass through the fluid. 4. Electromagnetic Flow Meters: Ideal for conductive fluids, these meters apply a magnetic field to the fluid and measure the induced voltage to determine flow rate.
