Navigating Fuel Flow Meters: A Technical Q&A
Navigating Fuel Flow Meters: A Technical Q&A Jamie Jones, Senior Systems Engineer at Sentronics, discusses the measurement principles employed by Sentronics Ultrasonic Flow Meters, the different fuel flow meters available in the market, and what gives Sentronics the edge when it comes to selecting a flow meter for fuel systems. How do Sentronics Ultrasonic Flow…
How Temperature Affects Fuel Consumption Measurement Accuracy
How Temperature Affects Fuel Consumption Measurement Accuracy This article explores the affect of changes in temperature in fuel consumption measurement accuracy in automotive test applications. Mass, and in turn mass flow rate, is conserved throughout a series fluid circuit, and so measurements of mass flow will be consistent at any given points in that circuit.…
How ultrasonic flow meters work, and the principles of flow measurement
How ultrasonic flow meters work, and the principles of flow measurement Ultrasonic flow meters have been around for over half a century, providing a non-invasive way to measure liquid flow velocity with minimal moving parts. Recent advances in technology have allowed next-generation flow meters like the Sentronics Flowsonic to compete with older, more established measurement…
Why Ultrasonic flow sensors provide a more detailed picture of the ‘real’ flow characteristics of a fluid
Why Ultrasonic flow sensors provide a more detailed picture of the ‘real’ flow characteristics of a fluid Ultrasonic flow meters produce data that can appear somewhat different to other types of precision flow meter due to the unique characteristics of the measurement method. These differences often reveal nuances about how the flow is really behaving,…
