- 2. OBJECTIVE The objective ofour presentation is comparisons of different flow measuring devices.
- 3. FLOW METERS A flowmeter(or flow meter / flow indicator / flow gauge depending on industry) is simply defined as a device used to measure the speed at which a gas or liquid is moving through a pipe.
- 4. TYPES OF FLOWMEASUREMENT Mass flow rate Volume flow rate

- 7. TYPE OF FLOWMETER Differential Pressure Flow Meters • Orifice meter • Venturi meter • Rota meter • Pitot tube Displacement Flow • Positive Displacement Flow • Gear Flow Meters • Turbine flow meter • Paddlewheel Flowmeters • Variable-Area Flowmeters (Rotameters) Electromagnetic Flow Meter • Ultrasonic Flowmeters • Doppler-Effect Ultrasonic Flowmeters • Vortex Flowmeters • Laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) • Particle image velocimetry (PIV)

- 9. ORIFICE PLATES • Anorifice plates is a plate with a circular hole in the middle of it. • Flow through hole, velocity will increase and the pressure will decrease.
- 10. ORIFICE PLATES • Sharpsquare edged cylindrical throat. • Pressure difference proportional to flow rate. • Cheap, good performance and reliability. • Moderate cost with Simple metrology.
- 11. VENTURI METER • Ameter consist of short converging pipe relatively longer pipe diverging with suitable pressure differential measurement. • When fluid passes through converging side its velocity increases maximum at throat and and become same after passing throat.
- 12. VENTURI METER • Bestaccuracy. • Least head loss as compared to orifice & nozzle meter. • Can be used with dirty fluids also. • Relatively expensive.
- 13. VARIABLE-AREA FLOWMETERS (ROTAMETER) • A rotameter is device measure flow rate of liquid and gas in a closed tube. • pressure drop remain constant and flow varies directly with cross sectional area
- 14. ROTA METER Working Principle •When fluid enter from bottom it exert force on float • float move up • gravitational and force exerted by liquid become equal equilibrium exist • float becomes stationary • flow rate measure by graduation scale on float
- 15. PITOT TUBE Pitot tubemeasure local velocity at given point in stream not average velocity in pipe.

- 18. POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT FLOWMETERS oIt has a low pressure drop o used with high- or low viscosity liquids at temperatures up to 230°C o pressures up to 7 Mpa o flow rates of up to 700 gal/min (or 50 L/s).
