Titan Enterprises Analyses Solutions for Low Flow Liquid Measurement
The measurement of low fl ow is becoming widely used in many industries. However, the smaller the fl ow, the trickier it is to control and measure, and fi nding a suitable fl ow measuring technology at reasonable cost can prove challenging for both users and fl ow sensor manufacturers.
There is no set defi nition for ‘low fl ow’ in terms of measurement limits for fl uidics handling. However, low-fl ow applications encounter amplifi ed fl ow stability and performance issues not seen in
larger fl ows. The minimal liquid volume being measured in low fl ows renders them highly sensitive, such that even the slightest disruptions in process or ambient conditions can exert a substantial impact on fl ow stability.
Within the markets Titan Enterprises operates in, we consider low fl ow rates as those below 50 ml/min, with many customers seeking fl ow rates of between 2 and 20 ml/min.
Neil Hannay, Titan’s Senior R&D Engineer observes: “We are certainly seeing an increase in demand for low fl ow measurement technologies driven by various industries moving towards transporting heavily concentrated liquids, which are then diluted at the point of use. This translates into huge savings on transport and storage costs and also has a positive environmental impact.”
Whether cleaning fl uid additives, syrups and fl avourings for beer or soda, chemical additives for oil and fuel, paint pigments or administering drugs, low fl ow fl owmeters are required to dose these concentrated fl uids at the end process, dispensing the precise amount of liquid to the correct dilution.
As mentioned, measuring low fl ow is a challenging application to satisfy. The amount of energy available in low liquid fl ow is unlikely to be suffi cient to drive most mechanical fl owmeters to give linear results. By comparison, electronic fl ow meters can be limited by sensitivity, zero drift and slow response times. Here we analyse 5 types of fl ow meter - Ultrasonic, Turbine, Oval Gear, Thermal and Coriolis - and their suitability for low fl ow measurement:
As fl owmeters can be the most limiting component of a low fl ow fl uidic system, it is essential to choose the most suitable high-precision fl ow sensor for your application.
“We know there is a strong market for low fl ow meters and we are currently working with two international OEMs to develop a solution for measuring ultra-low fl ows using our oval gear technology and miniaturised gears,” says Neil.

Entry to WWEM is free, visitors will have the opportunity to meet and network with over 200 exhibiting companies, you can compare products and prices as well as discuss current and future projects and discover new technologies, new solutions and solution providers.
Our biggest event yet, WWEM 2024 will be the most important water and wastewater monitoring meeting in the UK since 2022. There won’t be a better time or opportunity to meet all these key water instrument and service companies at one industry event.
Registered visitors are invited to attend over 100 hours of technical presentations on all aspects of water monitoring. Our conference team has organised an excellent lineup of leading industry speakers and experts who will be presenting on process monitoring, laboratory analysis, smart water monitoring, current and future regulation, MCERTS, gas detection, fi eld testing, portable instruments, operator monitoring, data acquisition, odour monitoring and treatment, big data, online monitoring, IoT, fl ow and level measurement, leak detection, pumping solutions, control and instrumentation.
In addition, registered visitors to WWEM 2024 will also gain access to AQE, our air quality and emissions monitoring event, which will be co-located with WWEM at the NEC. What are you waiting for? Register today for the largest water and wastewater monitoring meeting of the year! More information online:
