How and Types of Flow Meters Work?
In the piping design, due to the negligence and lack of experience of the designers, it will cause unreasonable piping layout, inconvenient operation and maintenance, and unsightly appearance. To improve design quality and reduce common-sense errors, we've rounded up these most common flowmeter examples in piping design!
According to the characteristics of the fluid, piping material, piping pressure, piping temperature, piping flow direction, etc. are all considered first, then we start to choose which type of flowmeter is more suitable for us to use in piping design: and do a good job of fluid-related parameter data statistics Such as: pipeline temperature, pipeline pressure, fluid viscosity, fluid velocity, fluid flow, fluid pH, fluid conductivity, fluid

How is the flow formula of the fluid in the pipeline calculated?
fluid flow formula
fluid velocityis inA measure of the volume of liquid moved in a certain period of time. The flow rate depends on the area of the pipe or channel through which the fluid passes, as well as the velocity of the fluid. If the fluid flowing through the pipeline is liquid, how to calculate the flow formula for the fluid is as follows
A = πR 2,
in-
[R is the radius of the tube. For a rectangle, the area is A = wh,
in
w is the width,
h is the height.
Flow velocity can be measured in meters per second (m3/s) or liters per second (L/s).
The measurement of liquid volume is more common, 1 m3/s = 1000L/s.
Fluid velocity = area of pipe or channel x velocity of liquid
Q = Av
Q = liquid flow rate (m3/s or L/s)
A = area of pipe or channel (m2)
v = liquid velocity (m/s)
Flow formula problem:
1)The water flows through a circular tube with a radius of 0.0800 m.The speed of the water is 3.30 m/s. What is the flow rate (L/s) of water (L/s)?
Answer: The flow depends on the area of the round pipe:
A = πR 2
A = π (0.0800 meters) 2
A = π (0.00640 m 2 )
A = 0.0201 m2
The area of the tube is 0.0201 m2. The flow rate can be measured in m3/s using the following formula:
Q = Av
Q = (0.0201 m2) (3.30 m/s)
Q = 0.0663 m3/s
The following formula can be used toFlow rate converted to liters per second: 1 m3/s = 1000 L/s.
Q = 66.3 L/s2)
2)The water flows through an open rectangular chute.The chute is 1.20 meters wide and the inflow water is 0.200 meters deep. The velocity of the water is through a circular pipe with a radius of 0.0800 meters. The speed of the water is 5.00 m/s. What is the flow rate of the water through the chute in liters (L/s)?
Answer: The flow rate depends on the area of the chute through which the water flows:
A = w
A = (1.20 meters) (0.200 meters)
A = 0.240 m2
The area of water flowing through the slide is 0.240 m2. The flow rate can be measured in m3/s using the following formula:
Q = Av
Q = (0.240 m2) (5.00 m/s)
Q = 1.20 m3/s
The following formula can be used toFlow rate converted to liters per second: 1 m3/s = 1000 L/s.

The benefits of flow meters
The pipeline is composed of large-diameter to small-diameter procedures. When the pipeline fluid is used for a long time and the pipeline is old, leakage of the connecting part of the pipeline often occurs. The advantage of using an electronic flowmeter is that it can understand the instantaneous running on the pipeline. How much fluid was there in the past, and it is possible to know whether the average usage of the pipeline is too low or too high under the condition of how long the pipeline has been used, so that maintenance personnel can better understand the risk assessment of whether the pipeline is blocked or leaked
5 Questions to Ask Before Choosing an Electronic Flow Meter
