Selecting the correct flow meter depends on your process conditions, installation constraints, and measurement requirements. Use the guide below to identify the most suitable solution for your application.
What are you measuring?
Identify the fluid and its characteristics—clean water, wastewater, chemicals, slurry, gas or steam. Media properties influence the choice of flow measurement technology.
What is the line size?
Select the appropriate meter size based on pipe diameter and expected flow range. Different technologies suit different line sizes and applications.
How does the flow behave?
Check whether the pipe operates full or partially filled and consider flow profile, pressure and other process conditions before selecting the meter type.
How will the meter be installed?
Consider inline, clamp-on or insertion installation, along with available space, accessibility, shutdown requirements and maintenance needs.
What power is available?
Determine whether the application requires mains-powered, battery-operated or other power options, based on site conditions and accessibility.
How will the data be used?
Define your requirements for 4–20 mA, pulse, relay, RS-485/MODBUS, HART or other communication interfaces for PLC, SCADA or monitoring systems.
