2 Volumetric Flow A velocity is a measure of the distance a particle of a substance moves in a given period of time The method of measurement used to indicate the volume of fluid that passes a point over a period of time is volumetric flow rate. Volumetric flow rate is usually expressed in gallons per minute (GPM) or cubic feet per second.

3 Mass Flow Mass flow rate determines the amount of mass that passes a specific point over a period of time. Mass flow rate applications determine the weight or mass of the substance flowing through the system. Mass flow rates are defined such as lb./hr. or Standard Liters/Hour for example

4 Differential Pressure/ Multi Variable Vortex Ultrasonic Thermal Turbine Open Channel Coriolis Magmeters

5 Data Needed Fluid/Gas Being Measured Line Size Flow Range, (Min. Operating. Max.) Temperature, (Min. Operating. Max.) Pressure, (Min. Operating. Max.) Viscosity, Specific Gravity Slurry or solids present? Conductivity

6 Orifice Plates Pitot Tubes Nozzels Venturis

8 DP Transmitter Differential Pressure input, various Electronic Outputs

9 Orifice Plates The Orifice Plate is the most common differential pressure flow primary element. It is based on proven technology, has no moving parts and is suitable for high temperature and pressure applications. Orifice plates are recommended for clean liquids, gases and low velocity steam flows. They are often chosen for their low initial cost, simplicity of construction and ease of installation.

10 Nozzles Flow Nozzles are available in either elliptical (ASME Long Radius) or radius (ISA 1932) types. The contoured inlet allows for metering of liquids with suspended solids. Nozzles can handle about 65% more fluid under the same conditions as an orifice plate having the same pressure drop, and for this reason they are often used for high velocity steam flows.

11 Venturis Venturi Tubes are ideally suited for flow measurement of almost all liquids and gases, including liquids with suspended solids and gases with entrained liquids. The Venturi tubes are outstanding at measuring high or low volumes at high or low pressures /temperatures, but the primary usage is in low static line pressure applications where high pressure recovery is necessary.

12 Pitot Tubes The basic Pitot Tube consists of a tube pointing directly into the fluid flow. As this tube contains fluid, a pressure can be measured; the moving fluid is brought to rest (stagnates) as there is no outlet to allow flow to continue. Pitots should be only used in clean fluids, there is little loss of line pressure. Common applications are in Aviation to measure airframe velosity and air speed, industrial applications such as ducts and in line gas flows.

13 Vortex Meters

14 Vortex Shedding The Vortex Meter measures the frequency of vortices shed from a bluff body placed in the flow stream is proportional to the velocity of the fluid. Velocity times area gives the volumetric flow rate. Vortex Meters are now avaiable with pressure and or Temperature compensation to read MASS flow. Vortex flowmeters provide good measurement accuracy with liquids, gases, or steam. They have no moving parts and are fouling tolerant. Vortex meters can be sensitive to pipeline noise and require flow rates high enough to generate vortices.

15

16 Ultrasonics An ultrasonic flow meter measures the velocity of a liquid or gas by using the principle of ultrasound. Using ultrasonic transducers, the flow meter can measure the average velocity along the path of an emitted beam of ultrasound, by averaging the difference in measured transit time between the pulses of ultrasound propagating into and against the direction of the flow. Ultrasonic flow meters are affected by the temperature, density and viscosity of the flowing medium. They are inexpensive to use and maintain because they do not use moving parts.

17 Thermal Meters

18 Thermal There are many advantages of Thermal Technology, wide turndown ratio, very low pressure drop, no moving parts, application flexibility, and a direct gas MASS flow rate measurement. An insertion version or inline version is available.

19 Turbine Meters

20 Turbines Fluid passing through a turbine flowmeter spins a rotor. The rotational speed of the rotor is related to the velocity of the fluid. Multiplying the velocity times the cross sectional area of the turbine provides the volumetric flow rate.

21 Coriolis Meters

22 Coriolis Meters Coriolis Flowmeters provide in line measurement of MASS flow, density and volumetric flow. High accuracy (± 0.1%) Multivariable measurement Low maintenance requirements High turn down ratio (100:1) Non intrusive design Applications include: Oil Field Service, & cement measurement Well Performance Measurement Net Oil/Water Cut Computation Leased Automatic Custody Transfer Custody Transfer Density & Viscosity measurement

23 Magnetic Meters

24 Magmeters Magnetic flow meters operate on the principle of Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, an electrical voltage is induced in a conductor that is moving through a magnetic field and at right angles to the field. The faster the conductor moves through the magnetic field, the greater the voltage induced in the conductor.

25 Magmeter Advantages Magmeters Provide: Low maintenance No moving parts Available in many line sizes No flow obstruction, near zero pressure drop Capable of handling dirty, abrasive & corrosive processes Only two wetted metal parts (Elec. & Earth rings) High Accuracy, 0.25% to 0.50% of rate or better Immune to variations in viscosity & density Minimum piping requirements Linear Relationship over full range Minimum upstream & downstream pipe runs, 5 up and 3 down Measurement not affected by process variable Temp, press, conductivity above threshold.

26 Connectivity In addition to 4 20 madc output connectivity issues to consider when you have selected the meter: HART Profibus Ethernet Devicenet Wireless
