Flow meters are devices used to measure the flow rate of liquids or gases in various applications. They help monitor and control the movement of fluids in pipelines, ensuring efficient operation in industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, and chemical processing. There are several types of flow meters, including mechanical, electromagnetic, and ultrasonic flow meters, each designed for specific conditions and fluid types. By providing accurate measurements, flow meters play a crucial role in maintaining safety, optimizing processes, and reducing waste in industrial systems.
