Working Principle
Positive displacement flow meters operate by trapping a fixed volume of fluid within a chamber and then measuring the flow rate as the fluid is moved through the meter. As the fluid flows, it causes the internal mechanism to rotate or move, which is then detected by sensors. These sensors convert the mechanical movement into an electrical signal that is processed to determine the flow rate. This method ensures highly accurate and repeatable measurements, even with viscous and non-conductive fluids.
Applications
- Chemical Processing: Ideal for measuring high-viscosity liquids and aggressive chemicals.
- Oil and Gas: Accurate flow measurement for fuel, oil, and other hydrocarbons.
- Food and Beverage: Ensures precise measurement of ingredients and final products.
- Pharmaceuticals: Suitable for measuring liquid medications and solutions.
- Paints and Coatings: Accurate measurement of thick and viscous fluids.
Installation and Maintenance
Positive displacement flow meters are designed for easy installation. They can be mounted in various orientations and require minimal straight pipe lengths upstream and downstream. Regular maintenance involves cleaning the internal components to prevent buildup and ensure accurate measurements. The robust design minimizes wear and tear, reducing the frequency and cost of maintenance.
