Why Flow Measurement Performance is Dependent upon Flow Meter Repeatability

If one does not have a repeatable sensor, the flow meter will not perform well, which means that a flow meter’s performance is highly dependent on its repeatability. It is also important for the reference in which a flow meter is calibrated against to also have excellent repeatability. A flow meter’s calibration rigs are based …

The Best Way to Meter Low Flow Applications Part 1

Because mechanical flow meters cannot extract adequate energy for linear results, metering applications with low fluid flows can be a very trying task. By comparison, electronic flow meters often have problems with sensitivity, zero drift and response times. To understand how different technologies approach metering low flows, it is important to take a look at …
