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
The drive to provide an optimum level of service plus the scarcity of water has spurred utility managers to concentrate more on obtaining the most accurate and current insights into their distribution systems. A major aspect of this involves flow measurement. Traditional center-line electromagnetic flow meters do not account for variations in velocities across a … Continued
Steam system operators may find themselves paying a steep price if product passes through a meter but doesn’t get measured. Commonly known as low flow cutoff, these losses typically happen because of a flow meter’s turndown ratio, which determines how wide a flow spectrum is able to be measured. If low flow cutoff is … Continued
The DXN Portable Ultrasonic Flow and Energy Meter is truly a versatile, hybrid tool able to measure liquid flow with a multitude of technologies, including Doppler, liquid thermal (heat energy) flow, and transit time. With its simple installation, the DXN measures flow using non-invasive ultrasonic sensors practically effortlessly. Transit time flow meters … Continued

Professionals working in measurement and testing make use of flow meters for a broad array of applications, all of which require the utmost accuracy. The importance of accuracy reinforces the need to choose the correct flow meter type. If the lowest cost is a priority, it may result in sacrificing quality, both in performance and … Continued
The City of Elizabethton, Tennessee knows there is more to sustainability than simply having a robust infrastructure. The city’s Elizabethton Water Resources department is responsible for serving well over 25,000 customers across a 75-square-mile service area which comprises three water treatment plants and more than 250 miles of water distribution lines. Raw water is … Continued
Last time we discussed a few of the fundamental differences between AMR and AMI systems. Today we’re taking a closer look at the latter and the different ways a utility can use the technology to conserve and reduce non-revenue water. With a metered leak detection, an AMI system raises a flag if a continuous flow … Continued
Honolulu’s Covanta Energy Corporation faced a stubborn problem of having to accurately measure cooling tower blowdown water flowing at irregular intervals prior to reinjection into the facility’s caprock. This irregular flow resulted in foam and bubbles forming in the line, necessitating a better flow meter solution to ensure that the facility remained within its daily … Continued
