Flow Meters Comparison

The document compares different flow meter detection methods and the types of fluids and parameters they can handle. Electromagnetic, Karman vortex, paddle wheel, floating element, thermal, diaphragm, ultrasonic, and Coriolis type meters are examined for their ability to measure liquids, gases, vapors, support high temperatures, handle micro to large flows, and tolerate variables like viscosity, slurry, oil, bubbles, and pressure loss. Each method has conditional or unconditional availability for different fluid types and flow parameters.
