1. [Mismi Mechanical Equipment Knowledge Sharing] - Classification and Working Principle of Flow Meter Types

Classification and Working Principle of Flow Meter Types Flow Meter is an instrument used to accurately measure the total flow rate of fluid mechanics in pipelines or irrigation channels. According to different classification criteria, flow meters can be classified into multiple types, and the working principle of each type is also different.

1. Classification of flow meters by measuring medium. Liquid flow meter: an instrument specifically used for measuring liquid flow rate.

. Gas flowmeter: a specialized instrument used to measure gas flow, capable of accurately measuring various gases such as liquefied gas, nitrogen, acetylene gas, etc. Classification by measurement principle: Mechanical principle: Differential pressure flowmeter: Using Bernoullis theorem, the flow rate is calculated by measuring the pressure difference generated by the flow detection component in the pipeline. Rotary flowmeter (also known as float flowmeter): Based on the principle of throttling, the flow rate is measured by changing the flow area of the fluid to maintain stable upper and lower pressure on the rotor. Impulse flowmeter and dynamic tube flowmeter: made based on the momentum theorem. Direct mass flowmeter: using Newtons second law to directly measure fluid mass flow rate. Electrical principle: Electromagnetic flowmeter: The principle of generating induced electromotive force by the movement of a conductor in a magnetic field, where the induced electromotive force is proportional to the flow rate. Differential capacitive, inductive, and strain resistance flow meters: measure flow using electrical principles.
Differential flowmeter
Acoustic principle: Ultrasonic flowmeter: designed based on the relationship between the propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in a flowing medium, the flow velocity of the medium, and the speed of sound waves. Acoustic (shock wave) flowmeter: measures flow using acoustic principles. Thermal principles: Thermal, direct, and indirect flow meters: Flow rates are calculated by measuring changes in fluid heat. Optical principles: Laser and photoelectric flow meters: Use optical principles to measure flow rate. Other categories of throttling valve flow meters: convert fluid flow into pressure signals for measurement through throttling devices. Gap flowmeter: Based on the principle of weir type packing, the flow rate is calculated by measuring the liquid level height. Positive displacement flowmeter: equivalent to a standard volume container, measures flow rate by continuously measuring the flowing medium. Blade type flowmeter: Place the impeller in the measured fluid and reflect the flow rate by the speed of rotation of the impeller.

2. Working principle of flowmeter: Differential pressure flowmeter works by calculating the flow rate based on the pressure difference caused by the flow detection component installed in the pipeline, combined with known fluid mechanics standards and the specifications of the combination of the detection component and the pipeline.

. Working principle of motor rotor flowmeter: By changing the flow area of the fluid to maintain stable upper and lower pressure on the motor rotor, the flow rate can be measured. The working principle of a throttling valve flowmeter is that the throttling device converts fluid flow into a pressure signal, which is displayed by a secondary device that measure
