A flow meter is an industrial instrument used to measure the rate of a liquid, gas, or steam through a pipe or process line. Depending on the type of meter, measurements can be displayed in different units such as litres per minute, cubic metres per hour, kilograms per hour, or other flow-rate units.
Flow meters are used in manufacturing plants, water treatment facilities, chemical industries, pharmaceutical plants, food-processing units, oil and gas applications, and many other industries.
Choosing the right meter is important because every application has different requirements. Fluid type, temperature, pressure, pipe size, range, accuracy, and installation conditions should all be considered before selecting an instrument.
