Different Types of Standard Liquid Flow Meter
2
Introduction
Instruments that are used for measuring the flow
rate of a particular liquid, flowing through a
pipe, are called flow meters. The measurements
can be done based on either the mass flow rate or
the volumetric flow rate and the units in which
it is measured are kilogram per second and liters
per second respectively. The standard liquid flow
meter is used in various fields and has
significant utility. In the medical field,
industrial sector, like food processing,
semiconductor fabrication, water management, etc.

Open Closed Channel Flow
The flow of any liquid can be classified into
open or closed pipe flow. The open channel in the
free-flowing stream is not restricted by any wall
and the flow is controlled by the force of
gravity. The fluid flow in the closed channel
occurs due to the pressure difference in the
pipeline.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters
With the negligible use of the mechanical parts,
the maintenance of these flow meters is very low
and has the advantage of measuring any kind of
liquid with no hassle. The clamp-on version of
these flow meters is to be snapped outside the
pipe, providing a non-intrusive installation. The
output is of these meters is generally very
accurate.
5
Mechanical Flow Meters
These are the conventional devices, with either
turbines or wheels inserted in the conduits to
calculate the velocity and the volumetric flow
with the help of the location of the pipe. They
can be categorized into piston meter, single jet
meter, and gear meter. Piston meter uses rotating
pistons whereas gear meter uses two or more
gears, which rotate perpendicular to each other
and the single jet meter applies the impellers to
measure the flow.
6
Pressure Flow Meters
Either differential pressure or dynamic pressure
determines the rate of the flow. While using the
differential pressure, the pipe is constricted to
decrease the pressure, as with the further
introduction of liquid, the pressure hikes. The
flow rate is concluded by the pressure difference
between the inlet and outlet valve.
7
Electromagnetic Flow Meters
As the name suggests, the flow rate is determined
by the magnetic field created by the magnets in
the pipe, which with the help of the conductive
components of the fluid alters the voltage. This
change in voltage is used to determine the flow
rate. These are suitable for water, or
water-based liquids like wastewaters. They cant
be used in oil, hydrocarbon, and distilled water.
