How to select the right industrial flow meter: Complete guide for different media and pipe sizes?

Comprehensive industrial flow meter selection guide covering electromagnetic, ultrasonic, and radar technologies

Flow meter selection requires careful consideration of fluid properties, pipe diameter, accuracy requirements, and installation constraints. Electromagnetic flow meters like Ecolor's LGF series excel for conductive liquids with ±0.5% accuracy across DN10-DN2000 range, ideal for wastewater and chemical applications. Ultrasonic flow meters offer versatility for both conductive and non-conductive fluids with flexible installation options.

  • Conductive liquids: Electromagnetic flow meters provide zero pressure drop and high accuracy
  • Non-conductive fluids: Ultrasonic or vortex flow meters are preferred
  • Open channel measurement: Doppler radar flow meter HZ-KSLF offers non-contact solution
  • Large diameter pipes: Clamp-on ultrasonic meters provide cost-effective solution
  • High precision applications: In-line ultrasonic or electromagnetic meters recommended

Consider temperature, pressure, and corrosivity factors during selection process.
