Information about Gas Flow Meters

Gas flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving gas. The basis of good flowmeter selection is a clear understanding of the requirements of the particular application. Measuring the flow of liquids is a critical need in many industrial plants. In some operations, the ability to conduct accurate flow measurements is so important that it can make the difference between making a profit and taking a loss. In other cases, inaccurate flow measurements or failure to take measurements can cause serious (or even disastrous) results.

Products & Services Related to Gas Flow Meters

Gas Flow Switches, Volumetric

Volumetric gas flow switches are devices with a switch output used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving gas in terms of a unit of volume per unit time, such as cubic feet per minute.

Liquid Flow Meters

Liquid flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving fluid.

Liquid Flow Switches, Volumetric

Volumetric liquid flow switches are devices with a switch output used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving fluid in terms of a unit of volume per unit time, such as liters per minute.

Mass Flow Meters and Controllers

A mass flow meter is a device that consist of a mass flow sensor or transducer and signal processing electronics. Fluid (liquid or gas) flow is measured in mass rate units (lbs/min).

Mass Flow Switches

Mass liquid flow switches and mass gas flow switches are devices used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving liquid or gas in terms of a unit of mass per unit time, such as pounds per minute. These devices may be sensors with electrical output or may be stand-alone instruments with local displays and controls.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

Ultrasonic flow meters use sound frequencies to determine flow rates. They do not work well with liquids with suspended solids or air gaps.

Velocity Flow Switches

Gas flow switches and liquid flow switches, velocity, are used to measure the flow or quantity of a moving fluid in terms of velocity, such as feet per minute.
