What is the Difference between a Flow Totalizer and a Flow Meter?
Flow meters generally measure instantaneous flow. Flow totalizers mostly measure cumulative flow values.
The flow totalizer can be used with various flow sensors. It is suitable for occasions where long-term monitoring and recording of fluid flow is required. It is used for statistical analysis and report generation.
A flow meter is suitable for scenarios where real-time monitoring and control of fluid flow is required. It can provide accurate flow data. It can respond quickly to any flow changes.
Working principle of the Flow Rate Totalizer and Indicator
The working principle of the flow totalizer is usually divided into three steps. signal acquisition, signal processing and data storage.
The flow sensor converts the physical quantity of the fluid into an electrical signal, which is then sent to the totalizer module for real-time processing. Including filtering, calibration and data acquisition steps. The processed flow data will be stored in the memory in the totalizer module. Users can view real-time data or historical data through the display module. Data can also be transmitted to the remote system through the communication module. It is convenient for later data management and analysis.
