Technical Trends of Flow Meter Products

1. Electromagnetic Flowmeter: From the perspective of the electromagnetic flowmeter itself, the electromagnetic flowmeter is a mature product. With the development of technology in recent years, on the one hand, the electromagnetic flowmeter transmitter is intelligent, and the converter has added functions such as self-diagnosis and self-calibration. In order to achieve some of the online self-diagnosis function, reduce the maintenance workload of the electromagnetic flowmeter, and replace the traditional offline inspection method with on-line inspection. The on-line inspection method of electromagnetic flowmeter is becoming mature from birth to application, but it will take some time to promote it in various industries across the country. The biggest difficulty lies in the fact that electromagnetic flowmeters are metering instruments, and their on-line inspection specifications need to be recognized by the national technical supervision department and the relevant industry associations.

2. Vortex flowmeter: The biggest problem in the development of vortex flowmeter technology is how to resist the noise and vibration problems that are used in actual production. Vortex flowmeters are still developing flowmeters, regardless of their theoretical foundation or practical experience. In the next few years, as the technology of vortex flowmeters continues to mature, users' acceptance and technological level will gradually increase, and vortex flowmeters will gradually be used.

3. Mass flowmeters: Unlike electromagnetic and vortex flowmeters, mass flowmeters have higher thresholds. The biggest obstacle to the development of mass flow meter applications is price. In the decades since the development of quality vagrants, local suppliers have not been able to master the high-end mass flow meter production technology. Therefore, the price of mass flowmeters remains high, in addition to its wide application in the petroleum and petrochemical industries, and in other industries, due to price constraints, it is less applied. At present, foreign mainstream mass flow meter suppliers also see such market demand and begin to promote low-end mass flow meter products in the market. From the point of mass flow meter technology, the diameter of the mass flow meter is also getting larger and larger, and it can be used on various large-diameter pipes.
