The Complete Guide Of Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Last month, a chemical plant in Texas lost over $50,000 in product due to inaccurate flow measurement. Their traditional mechanical meter had been quietly failing, leading to incorrect batch mixing. This common scenario highlights why choosing the right flow meter is crucial. Ultrasonic flow meters use sound wave technology to measure liquid flow, offering non-invasive […]
How Does a Transit-Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter Work?
At a recent chemical plant installation, we faced significant measurement errors. After investigation, I discovered the root cause wasn’t equipment failure – it was a fundamental misunderstanding of how transit-time technology works. A transit-time ultrasonic flow meter measures flow by calculating the difference in time it takes for ultrasonic signals to travel upstream versus downstream […]
What’s the Best Way to Maintain Your Ultrasonic Flow Meter?
Last month, a petrochemical plant lost $50,000 in product due to inaccurate measurements from a poorly maintained ultrasonic flow meter. Don’t let this happen to your facility. Effective ultrasonic flow meter maintenance requires regular calibration, physical inspection, signal verification, and data analysis. A comprehensive maintenance program should include monthly checks and annual professional calibration. Ultrasonic […]
What Maintenance Is Required for Electromagnetic Flow Meters?
Keeping your electromagnetic flow meter in top condition ensures accurate measurements and long service life. These devices may not have moving parts, but they still need proper care. Electromagnetic flow meters require periodic electrode cleaning, verification of ground connections, and diagnostic checks to maintain accuracy. Preventive maintenance typically includes visual inspections every 3 months and […]
