Inferential flowmeters do not measure volume, velocity or mass, but rather measure flow by inferring its value from other measured parameters. Examples of flowmeter technologies that measure inferentially include differential pressure, target and variable area flowmeters. Flow computers are often used to...
Accompanying the flow sensor is a microcontroller unit (MCU) that processes data and communicates with the central monitoring system. The MCU can analyze water consumption patterns, detect leaks, and provide real-time data for better decision-making. To facilitate communication, smart water meters are...
Transit-Time Ultrasonic flow meters are ideally suited for measuring the flow of water or other liquids when no process shutdown or pipe cutting is ideal Older technologies such as turbine meters, positive displacement, or differential pressure also have their place This information has been sourced...
That's why many people invest in a meter that can measure pH directly. What are pH meters and how do they work? Let's take a closer look!Photo: Measuring pH the old-fashioned way simply involves comparing the color of an indicator solution against a color chart. Electronic pH meters ...
There are several types of digital electric meters. The oldest style of digital electric meter is similar to a mechanical meter, measuring electrical flow from the grid into your house, and then uses an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to convert the readings to a digital signal. Mod...
Meters were located on the wall outside your home, normally through the wall from your electric panel, and where your gas enters your home, usually in front of your house facing the street. The flow of electricity into the utility meter turned small gears, which measured how much electricity...
Liquid Positive Displacement Flow Meters or Nutating Disk Meters Nutating disc meters are the most common PD meters. They are used as residential water meters around the world. As water flows through the metering chamber, it causes a disc to wobble (nutate), turning a spindle, which rotates ...
Measuring flow: understanding how flowmeters work and the pros and cons of each type of device can help in selecting the right oneRon DiGiacomo
Dujiangyan, located on the Minjiang River in the west of Chengdu Plain, about 50km away from Chengdu City, was built in the third century BC. Its uniqueness is that it does not need dikes to regulate water flow. For more than 2000 years, it has been playing an effective role in flood...
Fluid dynamometers work like water turbines: as you spin their axles, you turn a paddle inside a drum filled with water (or thick oil). That provides the resistance and load, and the power produced by an engine, motor, or other machine under test is dissipated by the water or oil ...
