Flow meters (also known as flow sensors) are devices used to measure and record the flow rate. They measure the flow rate of a fluid, liquid, or gas when it passes through a confined transmission system. There are different principles of flow meters, like orifice meters, venturi meters, rotameters, and flow nozzles. The flow sensors/devices are generally connected to the gauges to render their measurements; however, they can also be connected to computers and digital interfaces. Flow meters can be divided into two groups, contact and non-contact flow meters. Contact type flow meters are those in which the sensing element is directly in contact with the sensing element. They are suitable for services that are in normal application. They are not suitable for highly corrosive liquid. Non-contact flow meters are used when the liquid or gas (generally, a food product) being monitored would be otherwise contaminated or physically altered by coming in contact with the moving parts.

Market Dynamics:

Multiple emerging technologies, such as IIoT, asset management, and advanced diagnostics, are also helping in forming new collaborations among users and suppliers. Moreover, the strategies for both end users and suppliers have been leveraging advancements in networking and cloud platforms and service offerings that include data and analytics. Flow meters are also witnessing a steady rise in the demand for monitoring and measuring the flow of steam, gas, water, chemicals, and mineral oil, among others. These meters offer essential precision regarding ideal and economic quantity during flow measurement. They offer advantages when it comes to processing control.

Major trends in flow meter technology include digital signals for flow meters, multiple measurement formats, online diagnosis and troubleshooting, remote calibration and configuration, and smart sensors with online alerts. The technological advancements via robust research and development have also enabled the industry to develop appropriate solutions to complex operational problems. Automated cleaning is also one of the revolutionary trends observed in the market. This trend is advantageous for industries such as water and wastewater management.

However, certain factors are projected to hinder market expansion. The existing flow meters in the market are only sometimes compatible with modern machines and infrastructure. Therefore, there is a need to replace the existing outdated versions with newer, efficient, and compatible instruments. The expense of replacing the old instruments with the new generation of equipment might be a costly procedure. This will most certainly limit the global flow meter market.
