What is the purpose of a flow meter?

Flow meters and flow switches are typically used to monitor the passage of a fluid or gas in a circuit, providing a simple flow rate indication or, in versions with a contact, transmitting a remote alarm signal to a control panel if a variation in flow intensity is detected.

When is a flow meter used?

A flow meter is used in water, oil, and gas loading and unloading systems, as well as in cooling circuits, heat pumps, heaters, welders, transformers, heat exchangers, compressors, and in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, etc.

How does a flow meter work?

Adjustable visual and electric flow switches consist of a body, two connection flanges, a shutter with a permanent magnet, a Pyrex glass tube with a graduated scale, a shutter guide tube with variable passage sections, sealing gaskets, a slider with magnetic contacts, and a connector for electrical connection. The fluid or gas flow, entering from the bottom upwards in the vertically mounted flow switch, pushes the shutter upwards along the tube with a variable passage section, positioning it in the range indicated by the graduated scale on the Pyrex glass tube. At the upper end, marked in red, the instantaneous flow rate present in the circuit can be read. The shutter, immersed in the fluid stream, is free to move without mechanical friction and, thanks to the magnetic field generated by the magnet housed inside it, activates the alarm electrical contact. Using the mobile slider with a reference index, the contact can be positioned at the flow rate to be monitored, marked on the side label. The movement of the slider must be locked using the screw located under the connector.

Types of Flow Meters

There are several other types of flow meters: visual flow meters, electric flow meters, and visual/electric flow meters.
