Flow Meter Instruments

Types of Flow Control

Flow measurement is the measurement of flow capacity or mass flow rate with volume flow rate flow. Judging from the type of channel, fluid flow is divided into two, namely closed channel flow and open channel flow. Flow measurement instruments are generally classified into two parts, namely open flow measurement and closed flow measurement.

The types of flow measurement also vary, so that it can be adjusted to the needs. Here are some commonly used flow measurements:

1. Flow Meter

A flow meter is a tool used to determine the flow of material (gas or liquid) in a flow path at a certain time. There are several types of flow meters including ultrasonic, glass tube, thermal mass, corioliss mass, turbine flow meter, electromagnetic flow meter and many others.

2. Water Meter

Water meter is a type of tool used to measure the use of water volume in the piping network to serve users, both individuals and groups by paying attention to technical and non-technical aspects, so that people can easily obtain water with a certain amount, quality according to drinking water requirements for health. There are three types of water meters based on their power system, namely magnetic water meters, ultrasonic water meters and mechanical water meters.
