Flow Measurement

Flow measurement of liquids is one of the serious needs of modern industrial plants since it is critical to verify the amount of material purchased and sold. Accurate measurement of flow is so much significant in a number of operations, that it can create a whole lot difference between profit making and loss taking. Imprecise flow measurements or inability to take correct measurements can lead to severe results. In addition, flows throughout the process should be maintained near their preferred values with little variability. In such applications, good reproducibility is generally sufficient. Flowing systems require energy, usually provided by pumps and compressors, to create a pressure difference as the driving force, and flow sensors should bring in a small flow resistance, escalating the process energy consumption as slight as possible. Extraordinary considerations are obligatory for concentrated slurries, flow in an open conduit, and other process situations as compared to clean fluids flowing in a pipe.
