differential pressure air flow meter

A  differential  pressure  air  flow  meter  is  an  apparatus  which  measures  the  rate  of  flow  of  a  gas  or  liquid  in  a  system  by  observing  the  amount  of  pressure  lost  as  it  passes  through  some  type  of  constriction.  Its  operation  is  based  on  the  Bernoulli  equation,  which  describes  how  a  fluid's  pressure  decreases  as  its  velocity  increases.  The  meter  is  composed  of  two  pressure  sensors,  upstream  and  downstream  of  the  constriction,  monitoring  the  pressure  drop.  With  such  pressure  drop  known,  the  meter  can  calculate  with  precision  the  flow  rate.  Furthermore,  the  meter  can  also  come  with  a  visual  display  screen  readout  to  display  live  readings  as  well  as  data  logging  features  for  future  analysis.

What is a differential pressure air flow meter and how does it work?

Choosing  a  differential  pressure  air  flow  meter  When  choosing  from  the  many  types  of  differential  pressure  air  flow  meters  available,  it  is  important  to  take  into  consideration  what  type  of  gas  (or  air)  needs  to  be  measured,  the  range  of  flow  that  is  required,  installation  constraints  and  the  accuracy  required.  Meters  are  calibrated  to  read  in  appropriate  units,  for  example  HVAC  systems,  industrial  processes  or  environmental  monitoring.  The  correct  pressure  range,  range  of  flows  and  compatibility  with  the  system  are  essential  when  selecting  your  meter.  Also,  taking  into  account  things  like  the  need  for  calibration,  maintenance  cost  and  data  logging  features  can  assist  you  in  your  decision.
