Closed piping systems are the type of systems often found in food plants. The systems are complicated assemblies of pistons, rotors, piping, flow tubes, nozzles and also flow meters. Sierra Instruments manufacturers a number of metering devices found in food plants that include meters that measure steam discharges or the flow of water into boilers. A liquid flow calibrator can be used to precisely measure water and steam flows for the purpose of controlling line temperatures. Older boilers can be upgraded to take advantage of the newest technology in flow meters. In fact all old meters can be changed over to the newest meter technology.

 
Of course there are plenty of other meters available for just about any application. There are velocity meters, turbine meters, electromagnetic meters, mass flow meters and the ultrasonic water flowmeter to name a few. Selecting a flow meter to fit a particular job requires an in-depth understanding of the liquid, gas or air properties of the flow media, but also of the actual flow design. Improper use of meters is common in all industries including the food industry. That’s why you should get technical advice from experts who can evaluate your particular configurations and make suggestions for improving your operation through the use of flow meters.
