Each flow meter approach has its design limitations due to the complexities of liquids and gases flowing through elbows, pipes, pumps and other pipeline structures. Unlike orifice plates and other instruments, V-Cone meters provide extremely accurate and reliable measurements in pipe sizes up to 120 “with limited straight pipe length constraints and virtually no maintenance. … Continued
Ultrasonic flowmeters utilize sound waves to calculate fluid flow velocity in a pipe. The frequencies of an ultrasonic wave transmitted into a pipe and its fluid reflections remain the same under no-flow conditions. Thanks to the Doppler effect, the amplitude of the reflected wave differs under flowing conditions. The frequency shift will increase … Continued
