What Are Flow Meters?
Flow meters measure the volumetric or mass flow rate of a liquid or gas. Yokogawa's range of flow meter instruments include vortex, magnetic, variable area, Coriolis, and differential pressure flow meters.
Flow Meter Product Family
● = best choice; ○ = possible
-
Coriolis Flow Meters
A Coriolis meter accurately measures mass flow rate while also providing simultaneous readings for density, temperature, volumetric flow rate, and concentration.
-
Magnetic Flow Meters
Achieve stable measurement and quick response times.
-
Vortex Flow Meters
Yokogawa's vortex flow meters are long-lasting and robust, offering field-proven sensor technology and high reliability to deliver improvements in plant efficiency and reduce OPEX.
-
Rotameters (Variable Area Flow Meters)
Variable area flow meters, or rotameters, are some of the oldest devices used for flow measurement, known for their flexibility across various applications and high reliability.
-

ADMAG AXG Magnetic Flowmeter Helps to Optimize Production Throughput and Reduce Energy Consumption in Chlor-Alkali Plant
Boosting efficiency in Chlor-Alkali Plants with the ADMAG Magnetic Flowmeter provides accurate, stable flow measurement for Brine and Caustic in Chlor-Alkali electrolyzer cells, improving production efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
Yokogawa’s latest generation of ADMAG AXG Series is the most suitable magnetic flowmeter with adhesion level diagnosis and dual-frequency excitation method provides stable flow measurement even under high flow noise in the severe applications like the flow of aluminum slurries.
Angel Yeast Co., Ltd. is a leading global player in the yeast and deep-processed products industry, with production bases in 13 cities worldwide. Their yeast series products account for over 17% of the global market, ranking second globally.
In their production process, additives like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are crucial, requiring accurate measurement and stabilization to ensure the final product meets specifications. Yokogawa proposed the AXG electromagnetic flowmeter as a solution, providing dual-frequency excitation for both rapid response and reduced noise.
Using recycled oil as an energy source poses a challenge due to its inconsistent composition and potential impurities. Conventional flowmeter technologies are impractical in such cases. The CA Series, however, reliably and stably measures the flow of recycled oil mixed with water.
During MSG manufacturing it is crucial to control flow during the neutralization process. Unfortunately, traditional magnetic flowmeters encounter accuracy issues due to coating on electrodes from liquids like crystal, slurry, and high-viscosity fluids. Learn how our innovative technology ensures stable measurements even with challenging fluids. Don't miss out on improved accuracy and reduced maintenance downtime.
Avoid flashing issues while loading cryogenic liquids with safe, reliable, and accurate density fluid measurements utilizing Yokogawa’s industry-leading Coriolis flowmeter to eliminate measurement issues and increase the accuracy of inventory.
Brewers recognized that correcting flowmeter inefficiencies in out-of-date technology would help them achieve the increased and consistent throughput they needed.
A Basic Guide to Accurate & Reliable Flow Measurement.
The Coriolis flow meter has many features such as direct measurement of mass flow and measurement of fluid density, which other flow meters do not support. Therefore, since being introduced for practical use in the late 1970s, its market has rapidly expanded in many industries such as oil, chemicals, and foods.
Thanks to a two year upgrade project, Foster's Yatala brewery is now one of the country's most efficient integrated brewing and packaging operations. More than 1,100 measurement and control devices from instrument manufacturer Yokogawa Australia will help keep it that way.
