Types of Flow Elements are devices installed in a pipeline or conduit to measure the flow rate of a fluid. They work by creating a restriction in the flow path, which causes the fluid to accelerate as it passes through the element. The pressure drop across the element is then measured to calculate the flow rate.
Flow elements are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment, among others, to measure the flow rate of liquids and gases. The selection of the flow element depends on factors such as the fluid being measured, the flow rate range, and the required accuracy.
