The document provides an overview of water flow meters, which measure the amount of water flowing through pipes or channels, highlighting various types including ultrasonic, magnetic, vortex, and mechanical flow meters. Each type has distinct operating principles, advantages, and applications, with the selection depending on the specific measurement needs. Manas Microsystems is introduced as a leading Indian manufacturer of electromagnetic and ultrasonic flowmeters suited for various conditions.

- 2. www.manasmicro.com What is Flow Meter? • Water flow meter is a meter used to measure the amount of water flowing through a pipe or an open channel. • There are various types of water flow meter technologies which depend on the application of water being measured, the required level of maintenance, and the available budget. • These water flow meter types have a different operating principles which offer advantages for a particular application, and have an overall cost of ownership.
- 3. www.manasmicro.com Types Of Water Flow Meters There are four important types of water flow meters for closed pipe application- 1- Ultrasonic Flow Meters 2- Magnetic Flow Meters 3- Vortex Flow Meters 4- Mechanical Flow Meters
- 4. www.manasmicro.com 1- Ultrasonic Flow Meter • Transit type Ultrasonic flow meter is one of the popular type of Ultrasonic flow meters. • It works on transit time principle. • It uses ultrasound to gauge a fluid velocity as it travels through a pipe in order to calculate volumetric flow. • The transit time meter is used for clear liquids or liquids having very low levels of undissolved solids. • Clamp-on ultrasonic meters is another type, that is used for a wide range of applications and are particularly suitable for measuring water flow in big pipes.
- 5. www.manasmicro.com 2- Magnetic Flow Meter • Electromagnetic Flow Meter is widely used for flow measurement of conducting fluids. • Applications include drinking water as well as wastewater applications, These are typically used for any dirty liquids which are conductive or water-based, raw water, etc • The sensor works on Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction. • Because of its unique feature of having full bore flow, the meter does not obstruct the flow of the liquid being measured
- 6. www.manasmicro.com 3- Vortex Flow Meter • These are water flow meters that utilise vortices, by using a sensor submerged in the flow. • Each vortex that passes through a vortex meter causes a sensor tab to flex, which results in a frequency output that is inversely proportional to the volumetric flow rate. • Only issue with these meters is, recalibration is expensive and time consuming. • Therefore, other types of flow meters like differential pressure flow meters are many times preferred by users.
- 7. www.manasmicro.com 4- Mechanical/Turbine Flow Meter • Mechanical flow meters use a system of moving parts to physically measure flow. • The fluid travels either through a spinning turbine or rotor (positive displacement, or PD) or a set of gears or chambers. • Water, fuels, viscous fluids, and other liquid flow rates are conveniently monitored with mechanical flow meters
- 8. www.manasmicro.com Conclusion • Selecting the best water flow meter depends on the application. • Different flow meters perform better when measuring various different things. • Manas Microsystems, an Indian manufacturer of Electromagnetic Flowmeters and Ultrasonic Flowmeters (including clamp-on & insertion type ultrasonic flowmeters), is a leading supplier of variety of Flowmeters in India. • These flowmeters work under variety of flow, temperature, fluid quality and line pressure conditions of liquids or gases. Disclaimer : There are many other types of flowmeters, but in this presentation, we have mainly focussed on some of the popular ones
