Guide to First-Indication Flow Rates of Sight Flow Indicators


Use a simple device for high reliability process flow monitoring

Ensuring proper flow within a process pipeline is essential for maintaining efficiency and safety in industrial applications. Sight flow indicators offer a failproof way to visually confirm the presence of flow without the need for recalibration or electronic monitoring. However, understanding the minimum flow required for first indication is essential to ensuring these devices function correctly.

This white paper, Guide to First-Indication Flow Rates of Sight Flow Indicators, provides:

  • A detailed breakdown of first-indication flow rates for different sight flow indicator types
  • A comparison of flapper and rotator indicators, including their minimum flow and velocity requirements
  • Insights into how pipe size affects flow indication and the relationship between flow rate and velocity.

By reading this paper, you will:

  • Gain a clear understanding of how to select the right sight flow indicator for your application
  • Learn how to optimize pipeline design to ensure effective flow indication
  • Avoid common pitfalls that could lead to false readings or inefficient operation.
