Why need biodiesel flow rate measurement?
Biodiesel refers to vegetable oil (such as rapeseed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, etc.), animal oil (such as fish oil, lard, tallow, sheep oil, etc.), waste oil or microbial oil and methanol or ethanol. Fatty acid methyl or ethyl esters formed by ester conversion. Biodiesel is good to environment; it has good engine starting performance, good fuel performance. Biodiesel is an important renewable energy source and an excellent substitute for fossil diesel. Biodiesel flow meters are needed for developing biodiesel industry.
Biodiesel Flow meter types
Biodiesel has a little higher viscosity than petroleum diesel, and has many types’ flow meters for biodiesel. Such as volumetric flow meter turbine flow meters, positive displacement flow meters oval gear flow meters, Coriolis mass flow meters, variable area flow meter rotameter .,etc. we can have digital inline industry flow meters or mechanical flow meters.
Liquid turbine flow meter for biodiesel flow meter
Liquid turbine flow meters are a very economical choice for measuring biodiesel. Turbine flow sensor is a speed flow meter, can measure liquid without impurities, for non-corrosive liquids.
It has below features:
-
Biodiesel flow meter has high accuracy, generally up to ±1%R, ±0.5%R
-
Turbine flow meter is also suitable for high pressure measurement
-
LCD digital display to show biodiesel totalized flow and instant flow
-
Flow sensor available for biodiesel: 4mm,6mm,10mm,1/2”,1inch , 1.5”, 2inch, 3 inch, 4inch, 6inch,8”,10 inches
-
Inline type biodiesel flow meter with flange, tri-clamp or thread connection, flange DIN , ASME, JIS 10K, thread BSP, NPT.,etc
-
All stainless steel 304 or 316 material
-
Max temperature for flow meter: 150 °C
-
Biodiesel flow transmitter has 4-20mA , pulse output , option electronic biodiesel flow meter with HART, RS485
-
Low price cost of biodiesel flow meter turbine type starts from USD 130
