#Fluid Measurement

[cannonwater]

A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated device used to control the flow of liquids or gases. These valves are highly versatile and used in various applications, such as water treatment, chemical dosing, HVAC systems, and industrial automation. Solenoid valves can open and close rapidly, allowing precise control of the amount of fluid that flows through the system.

This is crucial for applications requiring consistent and accurate dosing, such as chemical metering in water treatment. It provide consistent performance without manual intervention, ensuring steady and repeatable flow rates for precision applications.

An Exploration of Flow Sensing Mechanisms

In the bustling realm of fluid dynamics and measurement technology, ensuring the accurate detection and measurement of flow rates stands as a paramount concern for many industries. Whether you're diving deep into the intricacies of HVAC systems, or simply refining the fluid processes in industrial manufacturing, understanding your options for flow sensing can be a game changer. Learn more about the flow test speed with us at "New England Manufacturing".

While you might feel inundated with a plethora of information on this topic, fear not. We're here to streamline this for you. In this extensive guide, we'll discuss six critical flow sensing options, dive deep into their mechanics, benefits, and potential applications, and empower you with the information needed to make an informed decision. The goal? To ensure your "flow test speed" is always optimized for precision and efficiency.

Differential Pressure Flow Sensors

Differential pressure flow sensors operate on a relatively straightforward principle. By measuring the pressure difference before and after a constriction in a pipe, one can derive the flow rate.

Operating Principles

These sensors capitalize on the Bernoulli Principle. When fluid flows through a constriction, its speed increases, leading to a decrease in pressure downstream. By measuring this difference, the flow rate can be determined.

Advantages

Their simplicity is a significant advantage. With fewer moving parts, they tend to have longer lifespans and require minimal maintenance. Plus, they're often more affordable than some other flow-sensing options.

Applications

Widely found in the HVAC sector, they're also seen in water management systems. Their reliable nature makes them a go-to for many seeking consistency and affordability.

Magnetic Flow Meters

Magnetic flow meters, often referred to as "mag meters", utilize the principles of electromagnetic induction to gauge flow rates.

Operating Principles

When a conductive fluid passes through a magnetic field, it generates a voltage. The magnitude of this voltage is directly proportional to the flow test speed, giving a clear indication of the flow rate.

Advantages

The absence of moving parts in mag meters means reduced wear and tear. Furthermore, they don’t introduce obstructions into the fluid path, ensuring minimal pressure drop.

Applications

Industries that deal with wastewater treatment or chemical processing find magnetic flow meters particularly valuable due to their accuracy and non-intrusive nature.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

As the name suggests, ultrasonic flow meters rely on sound waves to determine the flow rate of a liquid.

Operating Principles

Two transducers, one transmitting and one receiving, are positioned opposite each other. The flow test speed impacts the time taken for the sound waves to travel between these transducers. By calculating this time difference, the flow rate is deduced.

Advantages

Being non-intrusive, these meters ensure the fluid remains uncontaminated. Additionally, they're suitable for both conductive and non-conductive fluids.

Applications

They are prevalent in the oil and gas industry. Moreover, due to their sanitary nature, they're often chosen for pharmaceutical and food processing tasks.

Turbine Flow Meters

Turbine flow meters measure flow based on the fluid's ability to impel a turbine or a rotor.

Operating Principles

The fluid passes through the turbine, causing it to spin. The rotation speed is then used to calculate the flow test speed. Faster flows lead to quicker rotations, and vice versa.

Advantages

They offer a high degree of accuracy, especially in steady, high-speed flow environments. Moreover, they're relatively compact, making installation and maintenance simpler.

Applications

They're frequently seen in the petroleum sector, especially for liquid flow test speed measurements.

Vortex Flow Meters

These meters capitalize on the creation of vortices to estimate flow rates.

Operating Principles

As fluid flows past a bluff body, it creates vortices downstream. The frequency of these vortices correlates directly with the flow test speed, allowing for accurate measurement.

Advantages

Vortex meters are resilient and robust, making them suitable for a range of temperatures and pressures. Plus, they work well with both gases and liquids.

Applications

They’re a popular choice in the chemical and petrochemical industries due to their reliability and wide-ranging applicability.

Thermal Flow Meters

Last but not least, thermal flow meters gauge flow rates by monitoring the temperature distribution in a fluid.

Operating Principles

The device introduces a heat source into the fluid. As fluid flows, it carries heat with it. By measuring temperature differentials, the flow test speed can be determined.

Advantages

They’re incredibly sensitive, providing precision even at very low flow rates. Their non-mechanical nature means fewer maintenance issues.

Applications

Environments that require a keen sense of accuracy, such as laboratory settings or semiconductor manufacturing, often opt for thermal flow meters.

Conclusion

Navigating the world of flow sensings is more than just understanding the mechanics of various tools—it's recognizing the ripple effect that precise flow measurement can have across industries. From ensuring safety in pharmaceuticals to optimizing operations in the oil and gas sectors, the right flow sensing method is a game-changer.

As technology continues to advance, the significance of dependable flow-sensing options becomes even more pronounced. These tools are not just about meeting today's demands; they're about paving the way for future innovations, and ensuring operations are sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective.

In essence, understanding flow-sensing methods is a strategic endeavor. It’s a commitment to precision, efficiency, and forward-thinking solutions that can shape industries and drive them toward a brighter, more innovative future.

i think in general cars have too many fluids. an electric car removes a couple of the fluids which is good, but something like a bicycle will only have 1-2 fluids, whereas with a car it always needs some kind of fluid

Being a USAmerican scientist is fun because your brain is wired half in imperial units and half in metric, dependant on which things you have to measure at work on a regular basis.

I can guess pretty accurately how much of a liquid there is in liters, but I do not know what a pint is. I have a decent idea about grams, but not ounces. Meanwhile I am baffled by kilograms - large weights only make sense to me in pounds and imperial tons. Celsius, in my head, is for things well above boiling temp (like the muffle furnace we dry chemicals and in), and Fahrenheit is for weather. I am horrible at centimeters, but meters is the intuitive measure of longer distances - what on earth is 50 feet supposed to look like? Kilometers? I don't know her.

Kendall doesn’t love Naomi, Shiv never loved Tom, Tom didn’t love Greg, Greg didn’t love Tom. Tom stopped loving Shiv. Connor doesn’t really love Willa (did he even notice her whole face has changed?), Willa doesn’t love Connor. Logan didn’t love his pew bench and most of his pew bench didn’t love him or didn’t have time to stop.

Roman though. 

Roman loves Gerri, Georgia always told us that and when she talks spinoff it’s Colin, Stewey or Roman & Gerri (and yes, RomanGerri wasn’t Jesse’s, it’s Georgia’s and Tony’s and J's and Kieran’s and Mark’s, but that’s enough!)

From reading around, I think the finale brought home the depth of Roman’s  feelings from seeing him watch her on film reciting a maybe dirty maybe spiritual limerick and fall to the floor with it. He took from her, thinking he was entitled to ask her jump into bed or on that grenade. This spoilt little puppy prince who had never suffered a consequence. He attempted to climb his Everest, locked up in a cage. But as soon as he steps out of the cage at Logan’s funeral and abandons the poorly worn skin of whomever he was supposed to be for dad, and the reality of his feelings and his guilt and his shame hits, he realises he barely deserved to be at her feet. He’s a bruised, hollow prince who ‘knifed’ the only person who had real adult expectations of him (in every sense of the term - the scripts are part of my canon), for a throne he didn’t even want. How could you not break down at that??

And it morphs into a love that doesn’t need anything to feed the flame. No reciprocity, no touching, no comfort. Nothing transactional. It doesn’t even need to be spoken or told. It simply exists, in those jelly glass eye balls. He hasn’t earned it as it disappears behind screens and glass partitions where the adults are. She’s put her shoes back on and she’s walked out of his glass room.

Consuming that love becomes the only thing he can do to feel its burn, to satisfy the craving. He won’t be able to give her slow pleasure or any of his fluids but he can partake in hers in some way. Smart people know what they are and God forbid he sullies anymore of her with the oozing blood at the seam big bag of bullshit that he is. But you better believe he can find a way to have her on his brain, his heart, his tongue, his bloodstream.

He steps out of the cage and bids farewell to the toxicity of denying his own heart, he goes from a cage where he could just take, in exchange for pretending to be someone - no consequences but the occasional beating son I promise, to a world where he’s himself, needy and broken, nothing of value to give. He breaks out but the realisation of having fucked his relationship with her is the price of admission into the real world of his real feelings.

Oh she’d pick up the phone if he called, she’d meet him at the bar (I think he even knows that) but his superego, despite his hysterical cries about how good he looks and you can’t really see how broken he is and that it should be him, has acknowledged the fact that he doesn’t deserve her and wonders why she would take any interest in him if he was no longer this diamond in the rough? Can’t bear her eyes on him, if he’s just the nothing bullshit who fired her and lashed out at her. Which is ironic really because, being mad at Ken’s for his abuse, protecting Shiv, the clarity on his and all of their worth, staying and being the face of the humiliation, signing the deal. These are signs he’s morphing into something with grit, something worthy.

I think. Who knows. It’s day 1. They’re slow but it only lengthens the - excruciating - pleasure. It wasn’t a healthy, happy love story. It was a star crossed First Love meeting Last Love with all the unmatched expectations and maturity it entails, but only they knew it and a few of the people that watch. And really this was the most beautifully crafted thing I’ve ever seen on TV, the depths are almost out of reach. Romey-o Loves Gerri, it’s a feminist show and yes even the fact that Logan didn’t consider his grandkids his bloodline (and of course Roman would hate to have children and of course Shiv didn’t have time to tell him about her pregnancy). All these things are in the show and barely visible and thank god for that. 

And you can wonder why the hell he’s in a bar smiling and crying at his cocktail or you may prefer to read it as being only about his dad or only about his sibs or just the company if you can manage the connective tissue. But to me, yes of course, his last second on screen is him ingesting her in some way. I mean, OBVIOUSLY. It’s not because it wasn’t in your face, that it wasn’t the realest thing, the only true romance this show has indulged.

whenever ppl ask me what my type is (or even like. what celebrities I find attractive) I have a rly hard time pinning it down for them bc things like familiarity actually factor in a LOT for me so I don't tend to immediately recognise whether someone I've never seen before irl is hot or not. actually if we wanna get properly into it the reality of how attraction works for me is that I fall in world-rearrangingly devastating love with someone and my "type" then redefines itself accordingly as a category of ppl who remind me of them in specific subtle/less-than-subtle ways and the imprint of that sticks with me forever so whenever I find someone instinctively beautiful I'm always just seeing the ghost of past loves in their face or the way they hold themselves. but I can't explain that to ppl bc I feel like it comes across weird and a little creepy so I just laugh and tell them "well its arbitrary, I'm just attracted to ppl on an individual basis! um and also ayo edebiri is sooo gorgeous" which is true

I'm so excited to actually learn some science this semester bc I kind of struggle with vague notions of ethics & interpersonal communication but I fucking LOVE science

On a related note, I'm so scared for this semester because it's biochemistry specifically related to the movement of fluid in the body 😭 and that was fascinating to learn in A&P but it was easily the most difficult concept

The handheld turbidity meter measures the quantity of suspended particles in a fluid through a light beam and light detector, which is set at a right angle from the former. The beam of light scatters through the water or fluid based on the density of suspended particles. The light detector determines the amount of light reflected.
