What is an inline flow meter?

In line flow meter is a flow meter with the function of displaying flow rate on-site. The sensor of the flow meter is installed on the fluid pipe. Digital display or pointer shows the flow rate on the spot. Contact us. In-line flowmeters could be digital and mechanical flow meters.

What is a hydraulic flow meter?

It is a hydraulic flow meter that is used for measuring linear, nonlinear, mass or volumetric flow rate of a liquid. Flow meters are also known as flow gauge, flow indicator, and liquid meter based on the industry they are used with.

How is hydraulic flow measured?

Multiply the cross-sectional area by the flow velocity, provided in unit of length over unit time squared. If the cross-sectional area and flow are truly perpendicular, the flow rate angle is zero degrees. The value you just calculated is the hydraulic flow.

What are GPI meters?

The GPI 01N series is a compact and lightweight digital water mater designed for use with water. This water meter mounts easily on the end of a hose or pipe.

Which methods can be used to measure flow rate?

Primary devices are generally considered the most accurate way to measure flow in open channels. An area-velocity meter is an open channel flow meter that measures flow by making two separate measurements of depth and velocity. The depth is converted to cross sectional area using the geometry of the pipe or channel.

How is flow meter measured?

The flow (Q) is equal to the cross-sectional area of the pipe (A) in a volumetric flow meter, and the velocity of the flowing fluid (v): Q = A * v. The mass flow can be expressed in a mass flow meter as follows: ṁ = Q ∗ρ (where Q is the volumetric flow rate and ρ is the fluid density).

How do you calibrate a GPI flowmeter?

To field calibrate, press and hold the CALIBRATE and DISPLAY buttons for about three seconds until you see FLdCAL. Release both buttons and you will see CF-00.0. You are now in the field calibration mode and values from -99.9% to +99.9% can be entered.

What are the advantages of pitot tube?

Advantages of pitot tube

• It is easy and economical to install and remove.
• It has no moving parts which helps in minimizing frictional losses.
• It is small in size.
• It is low in cost.
• It causes very less pressure loss.

Where do you put a flowmeter?

Install flowmeters in the lower part of the pipework. This ensures enough head pressure so that the flowmeter will stay full. If the flowmeter is installed in an application where the pipe is not always full (i.e. wastewater application), the flowmeter should be installed in a siphon.

What are different types of flow meters?

Types of Flow Meters

• Coriolis.
• DP Meters.
• Magnetic Meters.
• Multiphase Meters.
• Ultrasonic Meters.
• Vortex Meters.
