Flow Meters - Kobold

Ultrasonic flow meters use cutting-edge technology to precisely gauge the velocity of gas coursing through pipes. These meters employ transducers strategically positioned on opposite sides of the pipe. One transducer emits ultrasonic waves across the pipe, while its counterpart catches these waves. By timing the waves' journey upstream and downstream, these meters can accurately determine gas velocity. This data, when combined with the pipe's cross-sectional area, facilitates the calculation of gas flow rate. Renowned for their non-intrusive nature and versatility, ultrasonic flow meters find applications in various fields, including natural gas distribution, compressed air systems, and HVAC installations. Their appeal lies in their remarkable accuracy, wide turndown ratios, and low maintenance requirements, making them a preferred choice for gas flow measurement across industries.

Magnetic flow meters are tools for measuring the flow of liquids in various industries. They work by using a magnetic field to determine the velocity of the fluid flowing through a pipe. One of the best things about these meters is their accuracy and reliability, especially when dealing with dirty or corrosive liquids. They're commonly used in water treatment plants, chemical processing, and even in food and beverage production because they have no moving parts and don't obstruct the flow, which means less maintenance and a longer lifespan.

Gas flow meters are devices used for measuring the flow rate of gases. They utilize different principles for measurement, including differential pressure, velocity, positive displacement, thermal sensing, and Coriolis effects. Differential pressure meters gauge the pressure decrease across a constriction, velocity meters gauge gas speed, positive displacement meters measure the flow rate by trapping and then releasing discrete volumes of gas, thermal meters detect heat transfer, and Coriolis meters measure the twisting of vibrating tubes. Each type has its advantages and limitations, with selection dependent on factors such as gas type, flow rate range, pressure, temperature, and required accuracy, for specific application needs.

Rotameters are variable area flow meters that provide simple, reliable measurement of liquid or gas flow by indicating rate through the vertical movement of a float within a tapered tube. Commonly used in chemical processing, water treatment, laboratory, and OEM systems, rotameters offer visual, real-time flow monitoring without external power. With options for glass, plastic, or metal tubes and compatibility with corrosive or high-purity media, rotameters are a cost-effective solution for accurate, low-maintenance flow control in industrial applications.

Turbine flow meters are advanced instruments designed to measure fluid flow by utilizing the rotation of a turbine within the fluid stream. These meters are widely employed in aerospace, petrochemical, and water management industries to provide accurate and real-time data on flow rates. Turbine flow meters excel in applications where precision is crucial, offering high accuracy and reliability. They play a pivotal role in optimizing processes, monitoring consumption, and ensuring the efficient operation of various systems.
