Have you read our last blog? Make sure you’re caught up before we take a closer look at why differential pressure (DP) flow meters are an optimal choice, despite their antiquity. First, we must dig deeper to grasp the function of these versatile flow meters. If they are low-tech, then how do they work? …
Breaking Down Differential Pressure (DP) Flow Meters Part 2 of 3 Read Post »
As a recent report by the Global Industry Analysis, Inc. states, one out of six new systems purchased globally in 2014 used differential pressure flow meters and techniques. And over 40% of existing measurement installations are, in fact, differential pressure flow meter devices. Is this not surprising? Consider the idea that engineers today would …
