**Title: Innovations and Applications in Low Flow Liquid Measurement Technology**
The convergence of fluid mechanics with multiple fields such as life sciences, materials science, healthcare, energy and environment, and advanced manufacturing has escalated the need for precise low flow liquid measurement in production.
Processes like reagent pumping in fine chemical industry, drug handling including quantitative transportation and filling, and battery electrolyte injection in lithium-ion batteries are key benchmarks.
These low flow liquid measurement technologies ensure product quality and safety, directly affecting the final performance and reliability of products. Yet, low flow liquid measurement is challenging.
It's highly sensitive to environmental changes; small temperature or electromagnetic shifts can skew results, making it tougher than regular flow measurement. Also, compared to gas measurement, liquid measurement must deal with complex and variable fluid traits such as viscosity, density, temperature, and pressure changes, and even tiny bubbles or impurities can disrupt accuracy.
Traditional methods have limits. Volume-based sensors can't shrink measurement range enough to meet low flow demands. Differential pressure sensors have high pressure losses and strict assembly needs. Electromagnetic sensors only work on conductive liquids and falter in complex low flow scenarios. Ultrasonic flow sensors are advantageous.
They handle various liquid types, including non-conductive and corrosive ones, using the ultrasonic time-of-flight method for stable outputs. They have low pressure losses and flexible installation, with minimal impact on fluid flow and less stringent piping/installation requirements.
Their fast response suits dynamic flow control. As industries progress, advanced ultrasonic flow sensor technology will be vital in conquering low flow liquid measurement challenges and spurring innovation in related fields.
