Industry Applications

Heavy metal capture agent is viscous, alkaline, prone to foaming and it scales on anything it touches. That combination eliminates most level technologies before you open a catalogue.

Pharmaceutical water is the cleanest fluid in the plant and one of the hardest to meter, because it barely conducts electricity and it gets sanitised at 80°C every week.

Pulp is not a liquid with dirt in it. It is a two-phase mixture whose conductivity, density and velocity profile all change with consistency.

Steel plant gas lines are dusty, wet, low-pressure and often explosive. A meter that works on a clean natural gas line will not survive here.

Two material decisions decide whether a chemical flow meter lasts ten years or ten months. Everything else on the datasheet is secondary.

A sanitary meter is not a standard meter with a polished body. The difference shows up six months in, when the cleaning cycle starts leaving residue behind.

An energy meter is only as accurate as its weakest element. On most hydronic systems that element is the temperature pair, not the flow meter.

Most plants need both meter types. The dividing line runs along pipe access, solids content, and whether the line can be shut down.

Three meter types cover almost every natural gas metering point. The decision usually comes down to turndown ratio, dirt, and who reads the number.
