What is a Fuel flow meter?

The fuel flow meter is used to measure the flow rate (fuel flow rate) of the amount moved during the fuel transfer process, and there is either an analog or digital visual instrument for the user to read the measured value. In recent years, various industries have advanced automation and labor saving for the purpose of quality improvement and cost reduction, and further improvement in performance and multifunctionality of industrial instruments such as flow meters, thermometers, and pressure gauges are required. Among them, the fuel flow meter is an extremely important instrument for energy-saving operation of ships and environmental measures, so it is expected that interest will increase in the future.

Application of Fuel flow meter

The fuel flow meter measures the flow rate of fuels such as gasoline, light oil, kerosene, diesel fuel, and alcohol fuel with high accuracy and high reproducibility. It can be used as equipment for engine testing and vehicle testing, and supports a wide range of fuel consumption measurement for research and development and quality control. Although fuel flow meters are used in such a wide range of industries, here, for example, those mainly used in the shipbuilding and shipping industries are taken as an example, and the main use examples of fuel flow meters in ships are the main. In addition to measuring the consumption of fuel used in engines, generators and boilers, it is also used to measure the amount of lubricating oil supplied to each part of the engine.
