51. 3 Hidden Traps Of Low Flow Cutoff 3/15/2019

    Failure to capture meter readings at the low end of the production scale is a missed opportunity for steam system operators. Here’s why that is happening and what you can do to attack the problem.

52. Confronting The Campus Steam Conundrum 3/14/2019

    Colleges and universities are working harder than ever to account for their resources, but getting a handle on steam production can be tricky. A growing number of schools are banking on one solution for better insight.

53. Comparing Benefits Of V-Cone® And Coriolis Meters 1/28/2019

    Proper operation of water treatment processes depends on accurate flow measurements. Also, flow data is often required by regulatory agencies.

54. Electromagnetic Meters And Ultrasonic Meters — A Comparison 1/17/2019

    Water and wastewater professionals rely on accurate flow measurements for process operation and regulatory compliance. Selecting the best flow meter for each application is essential to obtaining accurate flow data.

55. Remote Monitoring Helps Growers, Water Districts Do Their Jobs 1/16/2019

    Propeller flow meters have long been an important tool for agricultural irrigation management. As water scarcity and resource management have become increasingly critical, getting the most timely, accurate readings available from those meters is becoming more important than ever. Here is how growers and water conservation districts (WCDs) are each getting the best of both worlds for their own purposes.

56. Double Duty Flow Measurement: How To Conquer Changing Flow Conditions And Tight Footprints 9/24/2018

    While accurate flow measurement is critical for most industries, flow conditions that change over time can make it difficult to properly size a flow meter. Replacing a meter as the flow changes is impractical and expensive. In addition, flow disturbers can greatly impact meter accuracy, so addressing that issue is important as well. A uniquely designed flow meter may be the solution to both problems.

57. How To Get Accurate Flow Measurements Despite Flow Disturbers 9/17/2018

    Flow meter accuracy is critical for process control but can be hampered by upstream and downstream flow disturbers. This problem may be addressed during the design process, though in some circumstances it’s impossible to eliminate disturbers.

58. Six Top Factors To Consider When Selecting A Flow Meter 7/13/2018

    Water utilities rely on accurate and dependable flow measurement for critical process controls. Regulatory agencies also require flow monitoring and reporting, with specific accuracy limits.

59. How Calibration Impacts Flow Meter Performance 7/12/2018

    Utility managers and operators rely on flow meters to provide critical information for process monitoring and control. They require and fully expect the flow data to be accurate and reproducible.

60. How To Avoid System Downtime When Installing Flow Meters 7/11/2018

    Water and wastewater utilities rely on accurate flow measurement for important process controls. These may include recycle streams, chemical dosing systems, and other operational functions. In addition, regulators require utilities to measure certain flows, such as treatment plant influent and effluent and potable water pumping. Accurate flow measurement is also important for monitoring and reducing unaccounted-for water.
