How to select a flow meter -2

When selecting a flow meter（Magnetic, Ultrasonic and Coriolis mass）, follow the steps below:www.rbflowmeters.com【1】First, it is necessary to confirm the properties of detection fluids.

Fluid types	Gas, Liquid, Vapor, etc.
Density	Can be calculated from fluid name, temperature and pressure
Viscosity	Required for liquids
Electrical conductivity	Required for electromagnetic type flow meters
Contaminants	Air bubbles, mixed-in foreign objects, slurry, etc.
Flow range	Minimum and maximum flow
Fluid temperature	Measured in response to the fluid
Fluid pressure	For pressure-resistance confirmation
Pressure loss	Measured as necessary

【2】Next, clarify the purpose of measurement. At this point, determine a selectable detection system along with properties such as accuracy and flow range

【3】Once the detection method has been determined, make a decision while confirming detailed model specifications.

【4】Finally, compare costs. Because removing a flow meter also takes time, you must make a decision that not only considers the unit price of the product, but also considers maintenance time after installation as well as the cost of set-up or troubleshooting. Generally when the product unit price is low, frequent maintenance or failure replacement may be required.
