ULTRASONIC FLOW METERS
Precision Engineering
Flow Meters in Precision Engineering When you think of precision engineering, you may think of a jet engine or a Formula
1 car. In this form of product, every minute piece of the machine must work in absolute harmony for the machine to work at its optimum, high performance levels
In every manufacturing process, there will be machinery, processes or components that need to deliver high accuracy performance in order to meet the products quality standards
As a relatively low cost device, you may think that an Ultrasonic Flow Meter would have no role in precision engineering. However, as they are able to detect changes in the flow of liquids, in any process to a high degree of accuracy, an Ultrasonic Flow Meter can play a vital part in achieving optimum efficiency
Flow Meters in Formula 1 The UK has a strong reputation for specialist motorsport engineering and
many of the Formula 1 cars and technology have been developed and built in the United Kingdom
The technology used in the cars is constantly developing to improve driver safety, increase the speed and efficiency of the cars and to meet the changing regulations that govern the sport
This season saw the introduction of new hybrid power units into Formula 1 cars, along with the enforcement of a 30% reduction in the fuel consumption
Flow Meters in Formula 1 This new regulation includes a maximum fuel limit for any race and a fuel
flow limit, which controls the speed at which fuel can go into the engine. In order to accurately measure fuel flow, Flow Meter technology is now mandatory in race cars
Fuel Flow Meters provide accurate measurements of bi-directional fuel flow. This data can be monitored by the race teams to ensure that their cars are operating at optimum levels, without the risk of exceeding the fuel flow limitations
In addition to fuel flow, these Flow Meters monitor the temperature, flow direction and usage of the vehicles
Ultrasonic Flow Meters Ultrasonic Flow Meters are used in a whole range of manufacturing
processes. Your own may have very different requirements to a Formula 1 car, but with a wide range of Ultrasonic Flow Meters available, there are devices that can be installed to monitor liquid flow in almost any application
An Ultrasonic Flow Meter is applied to the outside of pipework, which has many benefits. It can be fitted to existing pipework without major disruption to processes and without the need for downtime
Once installed, an Ultrasonic Flow Meter does not impede the flow of
liquids. It is also relatively simple to maintain, remove and replace
Examples of Ultrasonic Flow Meters The production of liquid based pharmaceuticals, paints, food and
beverages or chemicals, requires the volume of liquids being mixed to be exact. A variation in the mixture will lead to faulty batches that fail to meet regulatory standards
This has an impact on cost and time which a competitive business can’t
afford. In accurately measuring the liquid flow in the process, an Ultrasonic Flow Meter will quickly detect if there is any issue in the process
The problem can then be immediately resolved and the process resumed with minimal effect
