Introduction

In many industrial applications, measuring the flow of liquids is crucial. The capacity to take precise flow measurements is crucial in some processes and can be the difference between a profit and a loss. Inaccurate measurement can lead to poor results. Measuring the liquid’s velocity or the change in kinetic energy allows one to estimate the flow rate.

Q = VxA

Where Q is the flow rate, V is the velocity and A is the area.

Other factors like viscosity, density, and friction of liquid in contact with the pipe affect the flow rate of a liquid.

A flow meter is an equipment used to calculate the mass or volume of a gas or liquid.

Flowmeter V.1.0

Samsonic flowmeter v.1.0 was designed in 2020. The flowmeter is used to measure the quantity of water and ethanol for the production of bitters. This unique device functions like a dispenser pump seen in petrol stations. Key components and features of this device include a dedicated microcontroller, power supply, a graphical screen for easy interaction with humans, a set of keypads for input, and an inbuilt actuating circuit for controlling the pumps. The device has the capability of counting from 0 to 1 million liters. Its application is not only limited to bitters production plant. It can be used to measure water for fish ponds and pools.
