What Is the Effect of Temperature on Flow Measurement?
Seeing unexpected flow measurement errors when temperatures change? Temperature impacts every flow meter type differently, often causing significant reading deviations if not properly managed. Even a 10°C variation can create noticeable measurement errors. Temperature affects flow measurement by changing fluid density, viscosity, and meter material properties. For ultrasonic meters specifically, temperature alters sound speed (2-4% […]
What Is the Temperature Range of Ultrasonic Flow Meters?
Need to measure flow in extreme temperature conditions? Ultrasonic flow meters handle surprisingly wide temperature ranges, but performance varies significantly by design and model. Understanding these boundaries prevents sensor failure and measurement errors. Standard ultrasonic flow meters operate from -40°C to +200°C (-40°F to 392°F), with specialized high-temperature models reaching 550°C (1022°F). Clamp-on sensors typically […]
