3 Reasons to Upgrade Your Flow Metering Equipment

Flow meters are no exception to the adage that all good things must come to an end. Due to the fact that routine maintenance is the most dependable method of evaluating the status of your equipment, you should be able to spot the warning signs of a meter that is not performing as intended, allowing you to take the right action. Nevertheless, here are three signs to look for in determining if your flow control equipment needs to be replaced.

1. Incompatibility of New Systems
Flow monitoring equipment can be thought of as the nervous system of an operation because it is the core point of control. If the networking capability of the flow control equipment components or the central processing hub is disrupted, this, too, will require action. Partial upgrades are a more usual approach in this sector, and they are also much cheaper and easier to implement.

2. Records of Maintenance and Performance
Analyzing these records makes it simple to identify recurring issues, as well as a decrease in equipment reliability. Meanwhile, the performance logs can reveal the system’s overall efficiency over time. This can be used to indicate a decline in the equipment’s functional ability that is greater than the sum of its parts, indicating that the flow meter equipment is being compromised beyond the nurturing of re-calibration and maintenance.

3. Financially Advantageous
Increases in the price of spare parts or specialist technical help from third-party companies can be a big aspect to consider, especially if the problem is caused by a piece of equipment that is antiquated and becoming obsolete, as the situation will only become worse. Additionally, the introduction of new technology and equipment into the market is another financial issue. A new solution may become available that allows the company to save money on operating expenditures.
