Electromagnetic flowmeters can be used with slurries and liquids as long as the liquid can conduct electricity. Mounted directly inside the pipe is the flow tube. The drop of pressure across the flowmeter is exactly the same to the one … Continue reading →

Mechanical flowmeters are the most commonly used meters for so-called pressurized systems. Propeller, positive displacement and vortex are three types of mechanical flowmeters.

Because a pipe’s cross sectional area is known and remains the same before and after a flowmeter’s insertion, average velocity indicates flow rate. The viscosity and density of the liquid will affect flow rate, as will the friction of the … Continue reading →

Agriculture is one industry where water flow rate must be measured, and there are many types of flowmeters that can be used for measuring the flow rate of water. An electromagnetic full pipe meter can be fitted on pipes up … Continue reading →
