Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of flow meters, and in particular relates to a flow meter for water balance testing. Background Art

[0002] A flow meter is an instrument that measures the flow rate and / or the total amount of fluid in a selected time interval. It is an instrument used to measure the flow rate of fluid in a pipeline or open channel. Flow meters are divided into differential pressure flow meters, rotor flow meters, throttling flow meters, slit flow meters, volumetric flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, and ultrasonic flow meters. Flow meters are divided into liquid flow meters and gas flow meters according to the medium. Flow meters can be divided into instantaneous flow and cumulative flow in engineering. Instantaneous flow refers to the amount of fluid flowing through the effective cross-section of a closed pipeline or open channel per unit time. The substance flowing through can be gas, liquid, or solid; cumulative flow refers to the cumulative amount of fluid flowing through the effective cross-section of a closed pipeline or open channel within a certain time interval.
