Solids Flow Meters and Why Every Process Should Have Them
A question that we get asked a lot is "why do I need a Solids Flow Meter?" or "how can a Solids Flow Meter help my plant or process?" To answer these questions, we first will look at what a Solids Flow Meter is and then where/how it can be implemented. CentriFlow Solids Mass Flow Meter from Eastern Instruments DEFINITION OF SOLIDS FLOW METER: Solids Flow Meters can be called many things from Flow Meters, Flow Instrumentation, Process Measurement Devices, or even just Process Meters. A Solids Flow Meter can be considered an device or point measurement, that when placed in a process, provides a window into what is going on in the process. It is an instrument that provides vital process flow data like Flow Rate and Totalization/Totalized Weight. This can be on a continuous process or on a batch process. The Flow Rate would be in mass units like lb/hr, kg/hr, Ton/hr, MTon/hr, etc, and the Totalization/Totalized Weight would be in mass units like lb, kg, To
