Flow Research Magazine Special Report: Multi-Variable Vortex Flow Meters

From Nice Instrumentation, Inc.
 

 

In a "Worldflow Special Report," Flow Research magazine discusses Nice Instrumentation's new line of multi-variable vortex flow meters. This article also notes how a recent American Petroleum Institute draft standard may spur growth in the vortex flow meter market.


Products & Services
Flow meters (flowmeters) and flow sensors are devices used for measuring the flow rate or quantity of a moving fluid or gas. Search by Specification | Learn more about Flow Meters
A mass flow meter is a device that consist of a mass flow sensor or transducer and signal processing electronics.  Fluid (liquid or gas) flow is measured in mass rate units (lbs/min). Search by Specification | Learn more about Mass Flow Meters and Controllers
Vortex flow meters are flow sensors that detect the frequency of vortices shed by a bluff body placed in a flow stream. The frequency of the vortices is proportional to the flow velocity. Search by Specification | Learn more about Vortex Flow Meters
Air velocity flow sensors measure air velocity or volume flow using insertion probes or capture hoods. Search by Specification | Learn more about Air Velocity Flow Sensors
Flow transmitters provide electrical outputs that are proportional to flow inputs. They use flow meters to measure the flow of liquids and gases. Search by Specification | Learn more about Flow Transmitters
