Digital Flow Meter

A Digital Flow Meter is an electronic device designed to measure the rate and volume of fluid flow such as liquids, gases, or steam within a pipe or conduit. Unlike analog meters, digital flow meters display readings on an electronic display and often include features such as data logging, output signals, remote monitoring, and diagnostic capabilities.

Key Features:

1. Accurate Measurement

   • Measures flow in various units (liters per minute, gallons per hour, cubic meters per second, etc.) with high precision.

   • Some models offer + 0.5% or better accuracy.

2. Digital Display

   • Clear LCD or LED display shows real-time flow rate, totalized flow, and sometimes temperature or pressure.

3. Multiple Technologies Available

   • Electromagnetic (Magmeter): Ideal for conductive liquids.

   • Ultrasonic: Non-invasive; suitable for clean or dirty fluids.

   • Turbine: Common for clean liquids and gases.

   • Coriolis and Thermal Mass: High accuracy for complex flow conditions.

4. Smart Functionality

   • Options for 4-20 mA, pulse, Modbus, or RS485 output for PLC/SCADA integration.

   • Some models have wireless, Bluetooth, or IoT connectivity.

5. Versatility and Compatibility

   • Can be used with water, fuel, oil, chemicals, air, steam, and more.

   • Available in a wide range of sizes, materials (stainless steel, PVC, brass), and pressure ratings.

6. Data Logging and Alarms

   • Logs flow history and sets alarms for high/low flow or system faults.

Applications:

• Water and Wastewater Treatment

• Industrial Process Control

• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries

• Oil & Gas and Fuel Monitoring

• HVAC and Energy Management

• Food & Beverage Flow Control

Benefits:

• Real-time monitoring and control

• High accuracy and repeatability

• Easy to read and operate

• Reduced human error compared to analog meters

• Suitable for automated systems
