virtaamamittari
A virtaamamittari, often translated as flow meter or flowmeter, is an instrument used to measure the volume or mass flow rate of a fluid. Fluids can be either liquids or gases. Understanding and controlling fluid flow is critical in many industrial processes, scientific research, and everyday applications.
There are numerous types of virtaamamittarit, each employing different principles to measure flow. Some common types
Differential pressure flow meters, such as orifice plates, venturi tubes, and flow nozzles, which measure the
Velocity-based flow meters, including turbine meters, vortex meters, and ultrasonic flow meters. Turbine meters use a
Positive displacement flow meters, which trap a known volume of fluid with each rotation or cycle, making
Electromagnetic flow meters are used for conductive liquids and operate based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic
The selection of a virtaamamittari depends on factors such as the type of fluid, desired accuracy, flow
