Flowmeter Selection Guide

When selecting a flow meter consideration must be given to:

• Flow measurement type - momentum (velocity), volumetric or mass flow measurement
• Media - type of media (liquid, gas or slurry) and any special condition such as particulates in the media and viscosity of the media
• Media conditions - pressure and temperature of media and whether media conditions are likely to remain constant or vary
• Flow range - required flow range of media (min and max readings required)
• Accuracy - required accuracy of the readings
• Environmental considerations - special installation considerations such as hygienic installation, installing in to an ATEX zone or requiring tamper proof readings
