The target flow meter is also called a drag force flowmeter. The target flow meter inserts a target (drag element) into the flow field. The target usually is a flat disc or a sphere with an extension rod. There will be a differential pressure. And then target flow meters measure the drag force on the inserted target and convert it to the flow rate. SenTec manufactures target flow meters for liquid, gas, and steam measurement.
SenTec manufactured Capacitive target flowmeter. A capacitive target flowmeter is a new type of capacitive force inductive flowmeter. Developed on the basis of traditional target flowmeter. And developed with new sensors and microelectronic technology. It has both orifice plate and vortex flowmeters.
Target flow is used for industrial flow measurement, mainly used to solve the flow measurement of high viscosity, low Reynolds number fluid. It is widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, electric power and other industries. Medicine, environmental protection, food and other fields.
