Metering batches of liquid may seem like a very simple task, but not when obstacles arise. Engineers should be aware of the problems that can occur during the process, and understand how to assess them to ensure successful set-up. Typically, the easy process of metering fixed volumes of liquid entails putting a flow meter in …

To size the meter correctly, you must know what your flow rate is. Although this task seems obvious, it is essential for getting accurate measurement and ensuring productivity. Engineers should not only find out what the maximum flow rate and the minimum flow rate is, but also the expected normal flow rate as well. You …

Some engineering terms have been found to be misunderstood or confusing in the industry. In part five of our goal to properly define key phrases in the engineering field, we focus on dispelling misinterpretations of various terms. Dewpoint Temperature Dewpoint Temperature is the temperature at which water vapor condensates. It is the temperature to …

In part four of our attempt to define and describe industry terms that have been known to be confusing or misunderstood, we focus on a random mixture of physical properties and other key phrases. Here we briefly explain the meaning of some terms associated with the engineering field. Density Density, or specific weight, is …

Throughout the industry, some associated terms have a history of being misunderstood or confusing. In our last attempt to concisely define the most frequently used expressions, we break down the meaning of terms that relate to requirements for quality and testing. ISO 9001 ISO 9001 is a worldwide recognized quality system and sets …

Continuing in our quest to briefly explain industry terms of which some have origins in the European Union, we’ve provided a descriptive list of frequently used expressions. REACH REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals, which is another European Union directive that addresses the potential impact of chemical substances on human …

Several terms are used in our industry finding their origin in the European Union. Sometimes these expressions are misunderstood, so we thought perhaps it would be worthwhile to briefly explain these terms here in this blog. The CE Marking CE Marking stands for Conformité Européenne and is a mandatory conformity marking for products sold …

When it comes to gas measurement, what’s the difference between Standard and Normal? It’s basically the reference conditions. Standard and Normal are different depending on which country you’re in and what industry it’s applied to. However, if you know the reference conditions, e.g. 0°C and 1 bar, then everything can be calculated. Mass flow of …

Continuing in our objective to describe flow meter terms to provide a better understanding of commercialized language, we have decided to attempt an explanation of linearity. The flowmeter’s ability to remain within its defined limits over the entire specified flow range is its linearity. The standard technique of expressing the term linearity is known as …
