    Basic Flow Measurements

    HL CPP
    INSTRUMENTATION
    Types of Flow Measurements
    1) Obstruction type (differential
    pressure or variable area)
    Ex; Flow Nozzle , Orifice , Venture Tube
    2) Electromagnetic Flow Meters
    3) vortex Flowmeters
    4) Mass flowmeter
    5) Variable area flowmeters
    Primary Elements of DP Type flow
     Orifice Meters

     Venturi Meters

     Flow Nozzles
    Orifice Meters

     Orifice meters are made up of stainless


    steel of varying grades to create DP
     Orifice meters is very cheap as
    compared to other types of flow
    meters.
     Easy Installation and required 10D/5D
    inlet/ out let with out bend
    Venturi Meters

     It can be used for measuring flow rates of


    water ,gases ,solids and slurries .
     It can be used to measure high flow rates .
     . Low pressure drop around 10% DP.
     It is used where high pressure recovery is
    required.
     It is large in size and hence where space is
    limited, they cannot be used .
    Flow Nozzles
     It is widely used for high pressure and
    temperature steam flows.
     Its used to measure the rate of flow of
    Liquid or Gas steam using the
    differential pressure .
     Compare with Orifice pressure drop is
    less
    Magnetic Flow Meters
     Magnetic flow meters works based on
    Faradays law of electromagnetic
    induction
     A magnetic flow meter (mag
    meter, electromagnetic flow meter) is a
    transducer that measures fluid flow by
    the voltage induced across the liquid by
    its flow through a magnetic field
     The magnetic flow meter requires a
    conducting fluid only
     when the electrical conductivity of
    liquids is more than 25 Micro Siemens
    /cm then only we can use the MAG
    Meter
     It will produce Micro volts
    proportional to flow rate
    Magnetic flowmeter
    Vortex Flowmeters
     Works On - This sensor is
    of piezoelectric crystal
     which produces a small, but
    measurable, voltage pulse every time a
    vortex is created
     Since the frequency of such a voltage
    pulse is also proportional to the fluid
    velocity,
     Velocity is proportional to flow
    Mass Flow meter
     is a device that measures mass flow rate of
    a fluid traveling through a tube. The mass
    flow rate is the mass of the fluid traveling
    past a fixed point per unit time.
     It will give direct mass reading depends on
    specific gravity of fluid , Inlet temperature
    and velocity of flow
     The mass flow meter does not measure the
    volume per unit time (e.g., cubic meters per
    second)
    MASS FLOW METER
    Inside Mass flow meter
    Variable area flowmeters
    A rotameter is an example of a variable
    area meter where a weighted "float"
    rises in a tapered tube as the flow rate
    increases
     Floats are made in many different
    shapes, with spheres and spherical
     Rotameters are available for a wide
    range of liquids but are most commonly
    used with water and air
    Calibration of Flowmeters
     All DP flow meters can be calibrated at
    Instrumentation lab , according to Data
    sheet by feeding low pressure at High
    Pressured Side
     MAG flow meters , Vortex , mass flow
    Calibration will be done at Factory only
    And it required Micro simulator to
    change factory original setting , we can
    change range values
