What flow meter is used for viscous media?
2024-09-14
For the viscous medium, the selection of the appropriate flow timing needs to consider the characteristics of the fluid, the influence of the viscosity and the working principle of the flow meter. The following details the applicability of several common flowmeters and their advantages and disadvantages in the measurement of high viscosity media:
1. Elliptic gear flow meter
Elliptical gear flowmeter, also known as displacement flowmeter or gear flowmeter, is a kind of positive displacement flowmeter, with high measurement accuracy. It uses a mechanical measuring element to continuously divide the fluid into a single known volume portion, and measures the total flow volume according to the number of times the metering chamber fills and discharges the fluid in that volume portion successively and repeatedly.
Application scenario：
2. Vortex flow meter
Features: Vortex flowmeter is a kind of high-precision flowmeter widely used in the field of industrial flow measurement, its simple structure, high measurement accuracy, and can be applied to a variety of viscous media measurement, including oil, asphalt, paint, emulsion and so on.
Advantages: Vortex flowmeter is not only suitable for low viscosity media, but also for medium and high viscosity media, with easy installation, simple maintenance and other advantages, can greatly save the cost and time of enterprises.

Application scenario：
- High viscosity fluids: such as lubricating oil, syrup, resin, glue and other high viscosity fluids.
- A positive displacement flowmeter is not sensitive to changes in the viscosity of the fluid because it relies on the movement of the physical volume rather than the flow characteristics of the fluid.
- High accuracy: Suitable for measuring fluids with large viscosity, high accuracy and good measurement repeatability.
- Unaffected by fluid characteristics: Changes in fluid density, viscosity, pressure and temperature have little impact on the measured results.
