Medical wastewater flow meter selection

Today, a customer asked what kind of flowmeter should be selected for medical wastewater. He provided the following information:

DN20

Flow 8m³/hour

Pressure 6.3mpa

Temperature 0-60

Accuracy 1~1.5%

Finally, our technicians recommended a DN20 turbine flow meter for him.

So, in addition to turbine flowmeters, what other flowmeters can be used to measure medical wastewater? The following are the commonly 

used medical wastewater flowmeters summarized by CIXIFM winny for you:

1. Electromagnetic flowmeter

Advantages: The electromagnetic flowmeter uses the principle of electromagnetic induction for measurement, and has the advantages of 

high measurement accuracy, good stability, and fast response. It is not affected by factors such as pipeline particles and bubbles, can achieve

 high-precision measurement, and can work stably in harsh environments.

Application: Widely used in hospital sewage treatment stations, medical laboratories and other occasions to monitor the flow of sewage and 

chemical reagents. By measuring the sewage flow in operating rooms, delivery rooms and other areas, the classification treatment of sewage

 in these areas can be achieved.

2. Ultrasonic flowmeter

Features: Ultrasonic flowmeter measures flow rate by using the propagation time difference of ultrasonic wave in fluid, and has the 

advantages of non-contact measurement, easy installation, and no pressure loss.

Application: Suitable for open channel flow measurement in medical wastewater treatment, such as the inlet and outlet of sewage 

treatment plants.

3. Turbine flowmeter

Principle: Turbine flowmeter calculates flow rate by measuring the rotation speed generated when fluid flows through turbine.

Features: Turbine flowmeter has the characteristics of simple structure, wide measurement range and high accuracy. However, it should be 

noted that it may be sensitive to particulate matter in the fluid and needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly.

4. Vortex flowmeter

Principle: Vortex flowmeter measures flow rate by using the vortex effect generated when fluid passes through vortex generator in pipeline.

Features: Vortex flowmeter has the advantages of wide measurement range, small pressure loss and high accuracy. However, it is also 

necessary to pay attention to the influence of particulate matter in fluid on its measurement accuracy.

5. Insertion flow meter

Features: Insertion flow meter is a flow meter that can be directly inserted into the pipeline for measurement. It has the advantages of easy

 installation and does not affect the flow of fluid in the pipeline.

Application: Suitable for medical wastewater treatment where quick installation and measurement are required.
