Flow Meters

Introduction to Flow Measurement

A flow meter is an instrument used to measure linear, nonlinear, mass or volumetric flow
rate of a liquid or a gas. When choosing flow meters, one should consider such intangible
factors as familiarity of plant personnel, their experience with calibration and maintenance,
spare parts availability, and mean time between failure history, etc., at the particular plant
site. It is also recommended that the cost of the installation be computed only after taking
these steps.

One of the most common flow measurement mistakes is the reversal of this sequence:
instead of selecting a sensor which will perform properly, an attempt is made to justify the
use of a device because it is less expensive. Those "inexpensive" purchases can be the most
costly installations. This page will help you better understand flow meters, but you can also
speak to our application engineers at anytime if you have any special flow measurement
challenges.
