Which of the following is an inferential type of flow meter
Which of the following is an inferential type of flow meter Correct Answer Rotameter
Explanation:
Inferential flow meter:
Inferential flow meters measure the rate of flow, and a mechanism must be added to them which 'integrates' this rate, in order that total flow can be measured. On the other hand, direct or non-inferential meters (i.e. the positive displacement type of meter) do in fact measures true total flow - not flow rate. Therefore,
Types of flow meters are divided into two functional groups:
1. One measures quantity (Positive Displacement)
2. The other measures rate of flow (Inferential)
Some of the more common positive displacement meters are:
1. Weighers
2. Reciprocating Piston
3. Rotating Piston
Inferential type flow meter (Rate Meter):
1. Orifice Plate
2. Flow Nozzles & Venturi Tubes
3. Swirl meters, Vortex Shedding Meters, Rotameters, Mass Flow Meters.
