Main Advantages of Using Flow Measurement Device

Traditional landfill devices for measuring gas flow lead to inaccurate flow readings which in turn lead to poorly balanced well fields. This would generate a host of production problems that would fail stipulated regulatory standards.

It is crucial for flow measurements to be accurately taken by relevant flow instruments on different types of granular material used in any production process. The market offers many types of flow measurement device systems for different types of powder. Different powder handling equipment offer different properties that would generate a differential pressure used to compute the flow rate.

Types of Flow Measurement Device

1. Pitot tubes

This type of flowability tester device measures the impact pressure contained in a small diameter tube and compares the static pressure around the tube. This could be applied in a landfill gas application where mineralization happens with harsh, binding fluids giving inaccurate readings for flows under 20 scfm.

2. Venturi

Pressure measurements using the Venturi are taken twice; before a constriction and at its mid-point to compute the flow rate difference. Venturis are placed in position to record significant pressure drops which happen at high flows. If the pressure drop is at a flow rate under 25 scfm, unreliable flow measurements results.

3. Orifice plates

These manipulate the tested flow measurement technology where the plates can be interchanged to achieve the preferred pressure differential of different flow rates. The traditional approach of changing the orifice plates is tedious and time consuming with the shutting of gas flow besides breaking pipe connections requiring 2 persons.

Moreover, the technicians are unable to view the plates to confirm a proper installation or its size unless the union or flange assembly is opened.

Advantages of Flow Measurement Device

The grain production and delivery industry requires a reliable powder flowability tester that ensures accurate measurement in any granular material process. One dynamic market flowability tester is the Orifice Plates.

Granu Tools powder flow tester is designed using proven orifice plate technology with an easy changing of plates without extra tools or persons. The control valve could be shut off immediately and precisely to ensure a more accurate flow of granular material as required by customer.

All the related processes of the powder handling equipment are under control to achieve a satisfactory pressure drop for a more stable flow reading. There would be less wastage and greater productivity when the right flow measurement device is applied precisely for any granular material measurement process.

Conclusion

Modern technologies help improve the way granular materials like powder, grains and fine particles to be measured accurately using a reliable powder flowability tester for greater business productivity. Accurate flow measurements establish the supplier’s reliability in the market on any business transaction.
