BF00 Balanced flow meters are recent additions to an established class of simple, rugged flow meters that contain no moving parts in contact with flow and are based on measurement of pressure drops across objects placed in flow paths. These flow meters are highly accurate, minimally intrusive, easily manufacturable, and reliable. A balanced flow meter can be easily mounted in a flow path by bolting it between conventional pipe flanges. A balanced flow meter can be used to measure the flow of any of a variety of liquids or gases, provided that it has been properly calibrated.
High Accuracy Replacement for Orifice Plates, Venturies, and Other Flow Measurement Devices
For Process Flow Rate Measurement of Liquids, Gasses, Steam or Two Phase Flow
- Accuracies of 0.5% of Reading
- No moving part to wear
- Accuracy Unaffected by Entrance and Exit Lengths
- Reduced System Pressure Drop
- Reduced Vibration
- Elimination of Scaling for Most Fluids
- Direct Dropping Replacement to an Orifice
BFM Advantages over Orifice Plates
- Ten times Improvement in accuracy
- 100% increase in pressure recovery
- Only need 0.5D straight pipe runs before and after the plate
- Extreme resistance to scaling
- 15 times reduction in noise energy/vibration
- 10% DP permanent pressure loss.
