Flowhire Limited services

Regardless of the sector in which you operate, from oil and gas to pharmaceutical and food and beverage to chemical manufacture, flow surveys are essential to have accurate data for each stage of the manufacturing process. A flow survey gives you detailed understanding of your business performance, and any potential areas for improvement. A well-conducted flow survey can provide you with the information you need to understand the efficiency of your plant, confirm the performance of your factory and make decisions on maintenance or future investment. An on-site flow survey is capable of determining flow velocity to an extremely high level of accuracy. It can be used to identify weaknesses, potential leaks and areas for improvement in the manufacturing process for improved performance and increased efficiencies; helping to save time and money.

In order to measure flow accurately, it is important that the flow is consistent and smooth. When a fluid flowing through a pipe assumes a desirable flow profile it moves uniformly with the greatest velocity near the centre of the pipe. In order to get the best from a flow meter installation it is important both to make sure that this optimum flow profile is present and also make sure that the flow meter is properly installed – poor flow meter installation can disturb this profile and degrade measurement.

Our highly experienced engineers are fully trained in the use, installation and commissioning of our wide range of flow meters. Our specific expertise in flow metering means that we are an ideal choice to help you to commission and set up any type of new flow meter. Not restricted to equipment bought from either ourselves or our sister company Flowquip.
