Gravimetric flow meters

Gravimetric flow meter

A gravimetric flow meter measures mass flow directly while material passes through it. WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS modernizes these instruments to restore accurate mass flow measurement.

Mass flow, not volume

Unlike volumetric measurement, a gravimetric flow meter reports the mass of material passing per unit of time. This is essential when the density of the product varies or when the process depends on a true mass balance.

  • Direct mass flow measurement
  • Independence from product density
  • Flow rate and totalized mass
  • Reliable signal for process control

Modernizing the flow meter

WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS rebuilds the control with Siemens PLCs and Siemens weighing modules. We keep the reusable mechanics, modernize the control/electronics, and at project end the programs, backups and documents are handed over to the client.

  • Replacement of obsolete measuring electronics
  • Flow-rate and totalizer configuration
  • Alarm handling for flow deviation
  • Integration with supervision

A measurement you can trust

The credibility of a flow meter rests on calibration and a clean signal. We calibrate with the actual product and filter the disturbances specific to the installation.

  • Calibration with the real material
  • Filter tuning for vibration and noise
  • Verification of the measuring section
  • Documentation of the configuration

Frequently asked questions

Why choose gravimetric over volumetric measurement?

Gravimetric measurement reports actual mass, which is more reliable when product density varies.

Can you modernize an existing flow meter?

Yes, the measuring electronics and control are modernized while sound mechanics are reused.

Do you calibrate the flow meter?

Yes, calibration with the actual product is included.
