Variable area flow meters are used in pulp and paper manufacturing and other process industries, such as chemicals, oil and gas, mining, food and beverage production, and more. Its popularity stems from its uncomplicated design, cost efficiency, and adaptability to challenging environments.
Flow variability can have a significant impact on processes and machinery health. Supply pressure, back pressure and process pressure variations can all cause flow variations. Implementing Constant Flow Regulators (CFRs) can help maximize plant efficiency, save energy, and save money too.
Harsh operating conditions, corrosive chemicals and temperature fluctuations require durable parts like Stainless Steel and Kynar®.

Some flow meter features can catch users by surprise. How many of these flow meter facts do you know already?
Float materials matter! Different flow liquids and gases need different floats and tube tapers to accommodate the flow media.
Extreme or prolonged cold weather can make maintaining process flows and accurate flow measurement challenging. Temperature drops not only affect viscosity of flow media but related metering components too: piping, fittings, and every component of a flow meter needs to be able to withstand freezing.
Every ESKO seal water meter is meticulously assembled using stainless steel components and thermoplastic or borosilicate glass tube options that cover a wide range of operating conditions, temperature variations, and corrosive chemicals. Numerous O-ring choices cover a large variety of process conditions.

How to fine tune your flow monitoring installations with optional accessories and add-ons for additional operational and cost benefits.
Flow meters are highly customizable due to differences in design, function, accuracy, and build components such as tube materials, end block materials, fittings, floats, valves, o-rings, flow configurations and more.
In addition to managing circulating lubricating oil, grease application is another important aspect of bearing and equipment maintenance.
Circulating oil lubrication systems are commonly used in pulp and paper manufacturing to support long-term performance of equipment.
