during other trade shows throughout
2016.
Flow measurement is one of many parameters on which we focus. In this issue
dedicated to flow meter technology, we take a look at the major meter types and
their manufacturers.
On page 6, contributor Jesse Yoder, Ph.D., of Flow Research Inc., writes about
the emerging trend of using multiple technologies to measure flow. In todays complex fluid-measurement world, more parameters must be considered, such as the
content of the fluid, required accuracy, the application, and equipment and personnel safety.
Throughout this issue, Yoder provides snapshots of different meters and what
differentiates them from each other. In some snapshots, he also details the meters
history and improvements. Be sure to check out our directory of flow meter manufacturers throughout the issue as well. We appreciate all Jesse Yoders contributions to this flow-meter-packed issue.
As I begin my tenure as editor-in-chief of Flow Control and
we produce our last issue of 2015, our team wishes you a
wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year! FC

FLOW OUTLOOK
Multi-Technology: The Next Generation

of Flow Meters
or many years, end users have typically asked one question when they need to measure flow: What type of meter
should I use? The answer depends on a number of variables, including fluid type (liquid or gas), required accuracy, application (custody transfer or not), fluid temperature and pressure, and preferred vendor. Today, the situation has become
more complicated. In many cases end users are better advised
to ask: What combination of instruments best fits my applications? The answer might still be a single flow meter technology,
but it might also include accompanying instrumentation. Alternately, the answer could involve multiple flow meters.
Why the Trend Toward Multi-Technology?

One reason behind the trend toward multiple technologies
is that fluid measurement has become more complex, and
more variables need to be included in analyses. For example,
multiphase meters have been developed to determine the
percentage of oil, gas and water produced from a well.
This difficult application requires measuring flowrates and
densities. In some multiphase measurements, differential
pressure-style Venturi meters and Coriolis meters are used.
The Coriolis meter measures density, while the Venturi determines flowrate. Research on these meters began in the
mid-1980s when output from North Sea oil wells began to
decline.
A second reason is that flow measurement accuracy and
repeatability requirements have increased with the value of
the fluid. Even though the price of crude oil decreased from
2014 to 2015, crude oil and natural gas continue to play increasingly important roles as energy sources worldwide. This
means that crude oil, refined fuels and natural gas are measured more often, and that variables such as temperature
and pressure need to be taken into account in these measurements. As a result, meters such as differential pressure,
turbine and vortex are often accompanied by pressure and
temperature sensors and/or transmitters. Multivariable flow
meters measure volumetric flow and can also compute mass
flow based on temperature and pressure values. Multivariable
flow meters often measure gas flow, which is typically determined as a mass flow value.
Increased safety concerns also led to the use of more instrumentation in flow measurement. Because of natural gas
explosive nature, its pressure and temperature must be carefully monitored and controlled, usually with temperature and
pressure sensors and transmitters.
Compound Flow Meters

Compound meters (hybrid technology) are commonly used
to measure water for residential and industrial applications.
6 | December 2015
They combine positive displacement and turbine meters into

a single meter designed to efficiently measure flow in lowflow and medium- to high-flow applications. Apartment buildings provide a good example of their use. During the morning
and evening hours, liquid flowrates are high, as residents use
large amounts of water. During medium to high flowrates, the
turbine component of the compound meter measures flow.
In the middle of the night, flowrates drop dramatically while
residents sleep. During these times of low flow, the positive
displacement meter measures the water flow.
The VorCone Meter

During the October 2015 North Sea Flow Measurement
Workshop in Tnsberg, Norway, Eric Sanford of Vortek
Instruments presented a description of a combination vortex
meter and cone meter. This meter, called the VorCone, places
a vortex flow meter before a cone meter in the flow stream.
Because cone meters require very little upstream piping
because of their design, the vortex meter does not interfere
with the operation of the cone meter. The VorCone meters
design for measuring volumetric flow mass flow and density
has been tested but is still in development. Overall it is meant
to be a simple, relatively inexpensive gas mass flow meter.
The Dual Flowtube Meter

Another meter design, patented by Flow Research, has two
equal sized tubes inside a pipe. Each tube has a flow sensor,
and the area of each tube is a quarter of the inside diameter
of the pipe. This design offers redundancy and the potential
for better accuracy because flow is measured in two locations
rather than one. The dual flowtube meter is compatible with
eight different flow technologies and is currently being tested.

flowtube meter, visit www.flowtubemeter.com. FC

of Flow Research Inc. in Wakefield,

in 1998. He has 28 years of experience

CORIOLIS
Coriolis Meters Are an Accurate Option
8 | December 2015
COURTESY ENDRESS+HAUSER
he Coriolis flow meter market

has been one of the fastest
growing during the past five
years. In many process plants, users
select them to replace differential
pressure meters. Despite the higher
initial purchase price, many users
find them to be a good investment.
Coriolis meters can more easily measure liquids than gases
because liquids are denser. Traditionally, they were expensive and
unwieldy in line sizes above 4
inches, but during the past several
years, a number of suppliers have
developed varieties above 6 inches. With more options in the largeline segment, Coriolis flow meters
may gain wider acceptance in large
line size applications.

ifferential pressure (DP)

flow meters consist of two
elements: a DP flow transmitter and a primary element. The
primary element places a constriction in the flow stream to create a
pressure drop. Pressure taps are
placed upstream and downstream
from the primary element. The DP
transmitter then computes flow by
making use of Bernoullis theorem,
which is based on the difference
between upstream and downstream pressure.
One disadvantage of this type of
meter is that it must create pressure drop to compute the flow rate.
Many different types of primary elCamerons NuFlo DP cone meter cutaway with direct-mount instrument connection.

he magnetic flow meter market is one

of the largest among flow meters,
namely because of the large installed
base of magmeters worldwide. They were first
introduced for commercial use in 1952, years
before Coriolis (1977), ultrasonic (1963) and
vortex (1969). Because they were introduced
so early, these meters have had more time to
penetrate markets in Europe, North America
and Asia.
The Flow Meter With

No-Hassle Installation

MASS FLOW CONTROLLERS
Mass Flow Controllers Can Replace

Manual Systems
The Use of MFCs Is Expanding

in Industrial Markets
COURTESY BROOKS INSTRUMENT
s their name suggests, mass flow

controllers (MFCs) measure and
control mass flow. Their control
valve can open and close to allow or stop
flow. With its bypass design, some of the
fluid is diverted to pass through a small
capillary tube. The diverted flow is measured, usually with thermal principles, and
used to compute the total mass flow. By
contrast, a mass flow meter has a bypass
for measurement purposes and does not
have a control valve, so it can measure
the flow but not control it.
The semiconductor market accounts
for the majority of MFCs shipped worldwide. The markets cycles last between
12 and 18 months and typically experience more economic ups and downs than
typical process industry markets. It has,
however, recovered since the economic
downturn in 2009 and 2010.

COURTESY FLOW RESEARCH
ultiphase flow meters are

used in oil and gas production to determine the mixture
and amount of oil, gas and water as
it comes out of the well. In the past,
this measurement could only be made
after the fluids were separated. Multiphase flow measurement began when
the prospective decline in production of the North Sea oil fields made
it necessary to find a way to analyze
the increasing amounts of gas and water that were coming out of the wells.
Multiphase meters were developed out
of this research. The information they
collect also helps diagnose the condition of the well. For example, they can
detect that a well that begins to output
a greater percentage of water might be
in a declining state.

POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT
Positive Displacement Meters Hold Their

Place in Utility Measurement
24 | December 2014
COURTESY AW-LAKE COMPANY
ositive displacement (PD) meters

are the workhorses of todays flow
meter world. They perform important flow measurements that many people take for granted, such as billing for
water and gas in residential, commercial
and industrial applications. Most likely a
PD meter also measures how much water you use at your house. Even though
they face stiff competition from new
meters in some segments, PD meters
remain the best solution for certain applications, particularly low-flow rate and
high-viscosity liquids.
PD meters separate the fluid to be
measured into distinct compartments of
known volume. The flow rate is calculated
based on the number of times these compartments are filled and emptied as liquid

Turbine Meters Become More

Efficient & Reliable
HOFFER FLOW CONTROLS
ven though the earliest turbine flow meter was invented before positive displacement (PD) flow meters came into use,
the history of turbine flow meter use does not
go back as far as that of PD meters. PD meters were first used for gas applications in the
early 1800s, while Reinhard Woltman invented
the first turbine meter in 1790. Even so, it was
not until the early 1940s that turbine meters
were first used for fuel measurement, in part
because fuel use on military planes in World
War II needed to be measured. Soon afterward,
turbine meters were used in the petroleum industry to measure the flow of hydrocarbons.
The history of using turbine meters to
measure gas flow dates back to 1953. Rockwell introduced a turbine meter to the gas industry in 1963, but it took about 10 years for
it to become widely accepted by the industry.
In 1981 the American Gas Association (AGA)
published its Report #7, Measurement of
Fuel Gas by Turbine Meters.

Suppliers Developing Better Performing

Turbine Meters
AGAs approval of a standard for using turbine meters for

natural gas custody transfer has increased their use. While
turbine meters have enjoyed an advantage in the past based
on their approvals, this advantage is diminishing as new-technology flow meters are approved for custody transfer of natural gas. Now turbine meters face competition from ultrasonic
meters, and the report on the use of Coriolis flow meters has
also been approved by AGA (Report #11).
Turbine meter suppliers are now developing features to make

them more efficient and reliable. For example, new ceramic
and sapphire ball bearings now last longer than other bearings. Another development is a dual-rotor turbine meter that
extends the flow range and provides higher measurement
accuracy, and also reduces the effects of swirl on flow mea- Installed Base Gives Turbine Meters
