Ultrasonic Vs. Magnetic Flow Meters

While selecting the proper flow meter technology for your system is critical, your ability to rely on the meter’s readings will depend more heavily on the application. Every meter technology will have its advantages and disadvantages, but it’s the nuances of your system and what is flowing through it that should garner the most attention. […]

Mechanical Flow Meters vs Magnetic Flow Meters

Magnetic flow meters are increasingly taking the place of traditional mechanical flow meter designs. While they both measure the flow of a liquid in a pipe, they do so in different ways. The most common mechanical flow meters are inserted into a pipe and use a turbine, wheel or paddle to measure velocity and then […]

The Truth About Flow Meter Accuracy Statements

Flow meter accuracy versus Flow meter turndown is a subject that gets very little attention, but has a huge impact on true measurement accuracy, especially under low flow conditions. Typically accuracy statements are established under lab test conditions with NIST traceable instruments. These measurements are made under very controlled conditions and in most cases do […]
