Fluid Pressure Guide: Static Pressure Vs. Dynamic Pressure Vs. Total Pressure

Whether it is a gas or a liquid, we can call it a fluid. There is bound to be pressure in fluids. Of course, these pressures are not exactly the same. What we most often discuss are static pressure, dynamic pressure and total pressure. Simply summarize the relationship between them: A stationary fluid has static pressure; any fluid with velocity or flowing fluid has dynamic pressure; the total pressure represents the sum of the static pressure and dynamic pressure of the fluid flow. Total pressure = static pressure + dynamic pressure. Sino-Inst is a manufacturer of flow meters and pressure tra......

Bidirectional Flow Meters | Electromagnetic, Ultrasonic, Mass and Porous Orifice Flowmeter

Bidirectional Flow Meters can simultaneously measure the flow of liquid or gas in both positive and negative directions. Bidirectional flow, a process in which the conveying and control functions use the same pipeline to facilitate bidirectional flow, is a critical but challenging requirement in certain industries. While unidirectional flow measurement is simple with existing technology, bidirectional flow measurement can present difficulties. Instruments capable of measuring bidirectional flow include electromagnetic flowmeters, mass flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, and porous orifice flowm......
