FLOW MEASUREMENT Volumetric flow and mass flow are two fundamental ways of measuring fluid movement in industrial process systems. Although they are closely related, they represent different quantities. Understanding the difference is important when selecting flow meters, calculating process quantities and configuring flow measurement systems. Volumetric flow measures fluid volume per unit time, while mass…
FLOW MEASUREMENT A flow meter K-factor is a calibration constant that relates the pulses generated by a flow meter to the volume of fluid passing through it. Learn what K-factor means, how to calculate it from pulse output, how it converts pulse frequency into flow rate, and why the correct K-factor is important for accurate…
FLOW MEASUREMENT Flow Meter Turndown Ratio: Meaning, Calculation and Importance Flow meter turndown ratio describes the usable measurement range between the maximum and minimum flow rates at which a meter can maintain its specified performance. Learn how to calculate turndown ratio, understand rangeability, see practical examples, and determine why turndown is important when selecting a…
When selecting a flow meter for an industrial process, two specifications often create confusion: flow meter accuracy and flow meter repeatability. Although both describe measurement performance, they do not mean the same thing. Understanding flow meter accuracy vs repeatability is important when choosing a meter for water, chemicals, oil and gas, steam, compressed air, process…
