What's the difference between a flow meter and a pressure transmitter?

Answer:

Pressure transmitter (pressure transmitter) refers to the output as the standard pressure sensor, is a pressure variable to accept the proportion of the standard output signal conversion instrument. It converts the electrical signal of gas sensors, pressure element liquid pressure into standard physical parameters (such as 4~20mADC), indicating alarm device, recorder, regulator etc. Two instrument for measurement, instructions and process control to supply.
The cumulative flow can also be obtained by integrating the instantaneous flow with time integration, so that the instantaneous flowmeter and the accumulated flow meter can also be transformed mutually.
The flowmeter is simply an instrument for measurement of fluid flow in pipes or open channels in the units used in the m3/h project, it can be divided into the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow rate (Flow Rate) (Total Flow), the instantaneous flow unit time closed effective section of pipes or open channels through the amount of material can be gas, liquid and solid; the total flow is in a certain period of time interval (day, week, month, year) the cumulative amount of fluid flowing through the closed pipes or open channels of the effective cross section.
