Flow Metering Devices, more commonly known as FMDs are used all over the world to measure and monitor the flow of liquids or other materials in industrial processes. FMDs use a variety of technologies such as differential pressure, openchannel flow, magnetic flow, and acoustic flow to accurately measure and control the flow of a liquid. FMDs are used in a wide range of applications, ranging from water treatment systems to oil and gas production systems.

The most commonly used type of FMD is the differential pressure (DP) flow meter. DP flow meters measure differential pressure across an obstruction, such as an orifice plate or venturi. The differential pressure created by the obstruction is proportional to the flow rate of the liquid. Most differential pressure flow meters have a mechanical indicator that is used to read the differential pressure, and then a flow rate is calculated, typically by using a scale or chart. This type of flow meter is highly accurate and repeatable, and is often used in petroleum processing and water distribution systems.

Another common type of FMD is an open-channel flow meter. Open-channel flow meters measure the water level in the open-channel conduit and use a dipstick to make a calculation of the volumetric flow rate. These meters are typically used for lower flow rates and can be used in drainage systems, water, and wastewater applications. Open-channel flow meters also have better maintenance and installation costs when compared to DP flow meters.

Magnetic flow meters are another type of FMD. They rely on Faraday’s Law of Induction to measure the flow of a liquid. A current is passed through the pipe, and a magnetic field is created. As the liquid flows through the magnetic field, its resistance gives a voltage reading that is proportional to the flow rate. Magnetic flow meters are ideal for liquids with higher viscosities, as they are highly sensitive and can accurately measure even small changes in flow rate.

Acoustic flow meters are one of the most recent developments in FMD technology. Acoustic flow meters measure the amount of time it takes for a sound pulse to travel from a source to a receiver. The time of flight is then used to calculate the volumetric flow rate of the liquid. These meters are highly accurate, and they are often used in applications where high accuracy is desired, such as natural gas and water distribution systems.

FMDs are a valuable tool for industrial processes, as they allow for accurate and reliable flow measurement and control. Different models are available for different flow rates and for different types of liquids, so it is important to choose the right FMD for the application. FMDs can provide significant cost savings, as they can optimize process performance and reduce energy consumption. Additionally, FMDs can help reduce emissions and increase safety, as they can help with proper operation of the system.
