Insertion Flow Meter How Insertion Flow Meter Work Insertion flow meter measure flow at one location in a pipe and use this measurement to infer the flow in the entire pipe. Differential pressure, magnetic, target, thermal, turbine, and vortex shedding insertion flow meter can be used to measure flow at one location. When the velocity profile is distorted, such as after an elbow, using measurements from multiple measurement locations can increase accuracy. Hydraulic issues associated with an application, such as the measurement location, are similar for the different flow measurement technologies (i.e., differential pressure, magnetic…). For larger pipes, the measurement location is usually representative of the average flow rate. For smaller pipes, the measurement location is usually at the centerline of the pipe, and hydraulic relationships may be used to calculate the average flow rate. Some manufacturers use proprietary measurement locations. How to Use Insertion Flow Meter Application Cautions for Insertion Flow Meter |
