Check Out the Video: Why Induction Is A Green Technology
Induction heating neither consumes fossil fuels nor produces hazardous emissions or carbon dioxide (CO2). This video explains why induction heating qualifies as a green technology.
10 Advantages of Induction Heating
In the ever-changing world of manufacturing, efficiency, precision, and sustainability remain critical. As a result, induction heating continues to gain popularity throughout industry. But what exactly makes this technology so advantageous? The following article explores the top 10 reasons induction heating could benefit manufacturing processes.
An Application Note About Shrink Fitting
This application aims to shrink fit (press fit) a steel sleeve. As a diversified equipment manufacturer, the client wants to replace an oven with induction heating. They cite reduced heating time and saved floor space as their primary reasons for making the switch.
An Application Note About Wire Coating Removal
A client, who had been using resistance heating for a copper wire coating removal application, wanted to explore whether induction could deliver faster and more consistent results. To investigate this possibility, the client sent wire samples with a polyamide coating to THE LAB at Ambrell, taking advantage of their complimentary applications testing service.

Industrial Flow Meters: An Overview
In various industrial applications, accurate flow measurement is crucial for process control, efficiency, and safety. This article briefly describes eleven common types of industrial flow meters.
1. Coriolis Flow Meters: These meters measure mass flow directly by analyzing the twisting motion of a vibrating tube caused by the Coriolis effect. They are highly accurate and can measure multiple properties such as density and temperature.
2. Magnetic Flow Meters: Also known as mag meters, these devices use Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to measure the flow of conductive fluids. They are non-intrusive, have no moving parts, and provide high accuracy.
3. Mass Flow Meters: These meters directly measure the mass flow rate of gases or liquids. They use various technologies, such as thermal, Coriolis, or differential pressure, to determine the mass flow.
4. Ultrasonic Flow Meters: Using sound waves, these meters measure the velocity of a fluid by analyzing the time difference between ultrasonic pulses sent upstream and downstream. They are non-intrusive and suitable for clean liquids.
5. Open Channel Flow Meters: Designed for measuring flow in open channels, these meters use various methods like weirs, flumes, or ultrasonic level sensors to determine the flow rate based on the liquid level.
6. Positive Displacement Flow Meters: These meters measure flow by counting the number of times a known volume of fluid is displaced. They are highly accurate and suitable for viscous liquids and low flow rates.
7. Turbine Flow Meters: Consisting of a rotor that spins proportionally to the fluid velocity, turbine meters measure the flow rate by counting the rotations. They are compact and suitable for clean, low-viscosity fluids.
8. Variable Area Flow Meters: Also known as rotameters, these meters have a float that rises in a tapered tube proportionally to the flow rate. They are simple, cost-effective, and provide a visual indication of the flow.
9. Vortex Flow Meters: These meters rely on the von Karman effect, measuring the frequency of vortices shed by an obstruction in the flow. They are suitable for clean liquids, gases, and steam.
10. Differential Pressure Flow Meters: By measuring the pressure drop across a constriction in the flow, such as an orifice plate or Venturi tube, these meters determine the flow rate using Bernoulli's principle.
11. Thermal Flow Meters: These meters measure the mass flow of gases by analyzing the heat transfer between a heated sensor and the flowing gas. They are particularly suitable for low flow rates and high-purity gases.
Each type of flow meter has its advantages and limitations, making it essential to consider factors such as fluid properties, accuracy requirements, installation constraints, and cost when selecting the most appropriate meter for a specific application.
