An Introduction to Flow Meters An Introduction to Flow Meters

As the name implies a Flow meter is an instrument for monitoring, measuring, or recording the rate of flow, pressure, or discharge of liquids or gasses.

What is an Ultrasonic Flow Meter? What is an Ultrasonic Flow Meter?

An ultrasonic flow meter (non-intrusive Doppler flow meter) is a volumetric flow meter which requires particulates or bubbles in the flow.

What are Electromagnetic Flow Meters? What are Electromagnetic Flow Meters?

A magnetic flow meter (mag flow meter) is a volumetric flow meter which does not have any moving parts and is ideal for wastewater applications or any dirty liquid which is conductive or water based.

What is a Coriolis Flow Meter and How Does it Work? What Is A Coriolis Flow Meter and How Does It Work

A Coriolis flow meter is a type of mass flow meter. It is designed differently and works differently than thermal or differential mass flow meters.

What are Load Cells and How Do They Work? What are Load Cells and How Do They Work?

A load cell is a transducer which converts force into a measurable electrical output.

Strain Gauges Strain Gauges, How does it work?

A Strain gage (sometimes referred to as a Strain Gauge) is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force; It converts force, pressure, tension, weight, etc., into a change in electrical resistance which can then be measured.

What is a Linear Variable Differential Transformer? What is a LVDT Sensor?

An LVDT is an electromechanical device used to convert mechanical motion or vibrations, specifically rectilinear motion, into a variable electrical current, voltage or electric signals, and the reverse.

Installing a Load Cell: Best Practices Installing a Load Cell. How to mount and connect a load cell?

Each load cell installation is unique. Consult a structural engineer when your application requires very high accuracy, long-term stability, custom specifications, or when using in a varied R&D environment.

Blog A Need for Speed: How HANI Technology Was Used to Expedite the Commission of a Productivity Enhancing Investment

A Need for Speed: How HANI Technology Was Used to Expedite the Commission of a Productivity Enhancing Investment The brewing team at Allagash Brewing Company successfully utilized the versatility, non-invasiveness, and high accuracy of the HANI Clamp Temperature Sensor – which clamps right onto the outside of a desired pipe and measures the fluid inside with as much accuracy and with the same high performance as traditional sensors – to expedite the commissioning process and meet their ROI of an important investment to their system.

Blog Balls Out

Balls Out Have you ever heard someone use the term ‘balls out’? You know, as in giving it maximum effort or going all out. Have you ever wondered where the term comes from? Well, the truth is it probably doesn’t mean what you think it does. For the origins of the term, we need to go back to the late eighteenth century, when Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer James Watt was looking for a way to automatically regulate the speed of a steam engine.

Blog HANI: The Shortcut that ACTUALLY Works

HANI: The Shortcut that ACTUALLY Works Getting the accurate temperature of media flowing through a pipe is a serious pain in the neck. And, up until now, there really has only been one viable option: immersion sensors. But now there is another option: the HANI. It's quick, it's accurate, its non-contact. The HANI temperature sensor is the short cut that actually works.
