The new version of the flowmeter is made to give accurate flow measurement of fluids from -10 to +110 degrees Celsius. The company used their PEEK pipe connections for the meter and gives the option of a glass or stainless steel flow tube. The Atrato meets an ingress protection standard (administered by the International Electrotechnical Commission) of IP54, which protects... [Read More]

The company says that the flowmeters reduce process down time and prevent false alarms. According to a company press release, a third party has rated its Rosemount 8800 Vortex Flow Meters at safety integrity level (SIL) 2 and the Dual Vortex model at SIL 3. SIL numbers correspond to how likely a product is to fail, the higher the SIL number, the less likely it is to fail. Redundancies... [Read More]

Flow measurement specialist NEL is investing in 2D flow visualisation technology. The Scottish company claims to be the first in the world to do so. According to a statement, the new technology uses 2D x-ray tomography to produce high-definition images of complex multiphase flows, which cannot be captured with conventional instruments. This is apparently a more precise... [Read More]

Flowmeters come in a variety of forms and operate on a range of different principles. Choosing the correct flowmeter for your application is vital for ensuring both accuracy, efficiency and value for money. Coriolis flowmeters are one of the most popular for measuring mass flow – that is, the movement of fluid down a pressure or thermal gradient.   How do Coriolis... [Read More]

Although China leads the world in the amount of power generated from wind, Denmark has the highest generation rate per capita by a long way.  In 2015, the country was generating over 2 megawatt hours of wind energy per person, well ahead of China’s 0.26. This relatively high generation rate has resulted in a local industry which produces large numbers of wind... [Read More]
