Differential pressure principle

Differential pressure principle (Conti.)
 This group of flow sensors is based on
the fact that pressure in a moving fluid
is proportional to the flow. The pressure
is detected with a pressure sensor;
based on the physical dimensions of the
system, the flow can be calculated.
 The simplest flow sensor is called the
orifice plate (Figure ..), and is simply a
restriction in the pipe that causes a
pressure drop in the flow, much like a
resistor that causes a drop in voltage in
a circuit.

which produces a small, but measurable,
voltage pulse every time a vortex is created.

Electro-magnetic principle
 Magnetic flowmeters have been widely used in

industry for many years. Unlike many other types
of flowmeters, they offer true noninvasive
Electro-magnetic method measurements.*
 They can measure reverse flows and are
insensitive to viscosity, density, and flow
disturbances. Electromagnetic flowmeters can
rapidly respond to flow changes and they are
linear devices for a wide range of measurements.

 The induced voltages in an electromagnetic
flowmeter are linearly proportional to the
mean velocity of liquids or to the volumetric

independent of the properties of the fluid.

Industrial Instruments Ultrasonic Flowmeters
 Flow is one of the most important physical parameters measured in

industry and water management. *
 For many years, differential pressure types of flowmeters have
been the most widely applied flow measuring device for fluid flows
in pipes and open channels that require accurate measurement at
reasonable cost. **
 Electromagnetic and ultrasonic flowmeters. Whereas ultrasonic
flowmeters can be applied in nearly any kind of flowing liquid,
Electromagnetic flowmeters require a minimum electric conductivity
of the liquid for operation.
 In addition, the cost of ultrasonic flowmeters is nearly independent
of pipe diameter, whereas the price of electromagnetic flowmeters
increases drastically with pipe diameter.
Ultrasonic Flowmeters
 There are various types of ultrasonic flowmeters in use for discharge

measurement: (1) Transit time: This is today’s state-of-the-art technology
and most widely used type, and will be discussed in this chapter section.
This type of ultrasonic flowmeter makes use of the difference in the time
for a sonic pulse to travel a fixed distance, first against the flow and then
in the direction of flow.
Ultrasonic method  Transmit time flowmeters are sensitive to suspended solids or air bubbles
in the fluid. (2) Doppler: This type is more popular and less expensive, but
is not considered as accurate as the transit time flowmeter. It makes use
of the Doppler

Coriolis method
Industrial Instruments
Introduction to Coriolis method
 Coriolis flowmeters were developed in the 1980s to

fill the need for a flowmeter that measures mass
directly, as opposed to those that measure velocity
or volume. Because they are independent of
changing fluid parameters, Coriolis meters have
found wide application. *
 By measuring mass directly as it passes through the
meter, Coriolis meters make a highly accurate
measurement that is virtually independent of
changing process conditions. As a result, Coriolis
meters can be used on a variety of process fluids
without recalibration and without compensating for
parameters specific to a particular type of fluid. **

 Maintenance requirements for Coriolis meters

are low, and they do not require frequent
calibration. Wetted parts can be made from a
variety of materials to make these meters
adaptable to many types of fluids. Coriolis
meters can handle corrosive fluids and fluids
that contain solids or particulate matter.

as follows: Coriolis meters measure mass flow directly, they have
fewer sources of errors.
• Coriolis meters have a high turndown, which makes them
applicable over a wide flow range. This gives them a
strong advantage over orifice plate meters, which typically
have low turndown.

turbulence for flowmeters whose accuracy or reliability is
affected by these factors.
Coriolis principle Coriolis method characteristics-Advantages
 Coriolis meters have a low cost of ownership. Unlike

turbine and positive displacement meters, Coriolis
meters have no moving parts to wear down over time.
The only motion is due to the vibration of the tube,
and the motion of the fluid flowing inside the tube.
 Because Coriolis flowmeters are designed not to be
affected by fluid parameters such as viscosity,
pressure, temperature, and density, they do not have
to be recalibrated for different fluids.
 Installation is simpler than installation for many other
flowmeters, especially orifice plate meters, because
Coriolis meters have fewer components.
