A Practical Guide to 5 Different Types of Flow Elements

Differential pressure flow measurement represents a foundational and widely applied methodology in industrial process control. This technology operates on the principle, articulated by Bernoulli’s equation, that a fluid’s velocity is inversely related to its pressure. By introducing a precisely engineered constriction, known as a primary flow element, into a pipe, a localized pressure drop is created. This differential pressure is then measured by a secondary instrument, a differential pressure flow sensor, and correlated to the volumetric flow rate. We will analyze some of the mos......

Differential Pressure Level Transmitter: Understanding, Principles and Uses

In industrial applications, there are many methods for measuring and monitoring liquid levels. For measuring liquid levels in open and pressurized tanks, engineers typically choose differential pressure level transmitters. This is a well-established technology. The liquid level is calculated by measuring the pressure difference between the liquid and gas phases of a fluid within a closed tank. It outputs a standard signal (e.g., 4~20mA, 0~5V). Differential pressure transmitters can also be used to measure differential pressure, pressure, and negative pressure of liquids and gases. They can als......
