“…F. Cascetta et al [8] have compared the performances of two different types of insertion flow meter, namely magnetic flow meter and turbine flow meter and have shown that magnetic flow meter has the claimed accuracy in the entire flow range but the other has the claimed accuracy only in upper range. F.Cascetta [9] has studied the effect of pressure on the performance of a coriolis mass flow meter and has shown that the fluid pressure affects the accuracy of coriolis flow meter. S.G.Etemad [10] have shown that the power-law index, the Reynolds number, and the distance between the impact and static tubes affect the operation of pitot tube in flow measurement and have proposed correction technique for both Newtonian and non-newtonian fluids by using neural network model.…”

A rotameter is a variable area type flow rate measuring instrument in which the position of a metallic float in a transparent conical tube is taken as a flow rate indicator. It has the disadvantage that it is a local indicating type instrument and special type of transducer is used for its remote indication. In the present paper, a non-contact flow rate measurement technique using Hall probe sensor and rotameter is designed, developed and tested. In this design, a float carrying a thin circular permanent magnet is used and a Hall probe sensor placed outside the rotameter tube has been used to sense the variation of magnetic field of the magnet with the variation of float position. A signal conditioner unit has been used to convert the Hall probe sensor output into 1-5 volt dc signal. This dc signal output of the signal conditioner has been sent to a PC based flow indicator through opto-isolator and analog input channel of a data acquisition system (DAS) card. The PC based flow indicator has been designed using Lab Tech Note Book Pro software and PC based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. A theoretical equation has been derived to explain the operation of the system. The performance of the system has been tested experimentally and the experimental results are reported in the paper. A very good repeatability and linearity of results has been observed. Graphical Abstract:Index Terms-Flow Measurement, Hall Probe, Process Monitoring, PC based SCADA, Rotameter.1530-437X (c)

“…Thus, he recommended that the position, 0.762R away from the center of cross-section, is critical position for insertion measurement [4]. In 2001, Furio Cascetta and Adolfo Palombo, Italians, compared insertion electromagnetic flowmeter with insertion turbine flowmeter in applications of a large pipeline, and found that the insertion electromagnetic flowmeter has higher accuracy and range ratio [5]. Recently, the research on the flow field distribution of insertion electromagnetic flowmeter sensor gives a fitting polynomial equation of velocity distribution coefficient α and n, mostly based on Nikuradse velocity distribution model [6].…”

The study is to employ the analysis method of CFD simulation, when putting the insertion flow sensor in large-diameter pipe, to analyse the characteristics of flow field distribution of the insertion flow sensor in detail. It reveals the flow field distribution at the position of average flowrate and the vortex shedding around insertion flow sensor, which provides an important basis for design of the insertion flow sensor with high performance.
