We need flow sensor unit for measuring sulfuric acid via a 2' pipe line. Any ideas?

 

Is that for total flow or just yes / no?
What material is the pipe?

Thanks

Use a mag Flow with teflon liner.

Sure, but we all need to know the temperature, pressure, approximate flow rate, material of construction of the pipe, and the concentration of
sulfuric acid in order to really help you.

Did you really mean a two-foot diameter pipe line?

Hi, Flow meter selection will depend on several factors like concentration of the acid, nature of fluid (is it h2so4 or some slurry).

Also Accuracy needs.

Rotameters, Vortex, ELectromagnetic, integral wedge are some possibilities.

What's wrong with Ultrasonics ?? I'm sure a Transit-Time tool would measure the flow of Sulfuric Acid.

Have a look at the products at http://www.eesiflo.com
I'm sure they'll have something.

M.S.

I would take a look at noninvasive transit time technology. Thermo Flow
Systems has a number of models that would apply. reasonable accuracy, and no
contact with the liquid. Pipe material may be an issue, but worth checking
out.

Frankly nothing is wrong with ultrasonics...if they fit the application.

Some transit time flow meters have temperature limitations, even clamp-on ones. In some cases, sulfuric acid is transported in lined pipe, and transit time flowmeters don't always work or work well on lined pipe.

What we really need here, Mark, is for the original poster to please give us some applications information.

That way, we can direct him to the proper flowmeter, whether it be the eesiflo meters that you sell, or some other design or technology.
