Comparison between flow meters and sensors

Comparison between flow meters and sensors

Flowmeter:

Poor accuracy

Short service life


Continuous flow or batching process

Suitable for measuring liquid weight

Sensors:

High accuracy

Long service life

Batching process

Suitable for measuring the weight of liquids, gases, or solids

Flowmeter:

Susceptible to material contamination and corrosion

Unable to adapt well to changes in materials or processes

Sensors:

Not easily contaminated and corroded by materials

Can adapt to changes in materials or processes

Flowmeter:

Each material requires a flow meter

Can control simultaneous feeding

Easy to install

Sensors:

Can measure multiple materials simultaneously

Unable to control simultaneous feeding

Auxiliary components need to be added during installation
