Strengths Weakness |
|
Vortex Shedding Flowmeters |
|
Steam, Compressed Air, Natural Gas, Water, Condensate returns, clean and non viscous fluids, lines sizes from ½ inch through 16 inches. |
Very cost effective flowmeter, great for high temperatures applications like steam. No moving parts, very low maintenance. Stainless
steel contruction. |
|
Magnetic Flowmeters |
|
Slurries, Waste water, pulp stock, chilled water, specialty chemicals, milk, beer, food products. Sanitary applications |
No pressure loss, 3A and Pharmaceutical approved, large turndown, Liquids only, will only work on conductive fluids. |
|
Coriolis Mass Flowmeters |
 |
Oils, fuels, water, petroleum, LNG, specialty chemicals, Almost any fluid temperature (ranges -328° F to 662° F). 3A certification for sanitary applications. |
Mass flow no need for temperature or pressure compensation, more expensive than other technologies. Abiltiy to measure density or concentration strength. |
|
Differential Pressure &
Integral
Orifice |
|
Excellent for very low flow measurement, |
