The diagram below shows how viscosity varies as a function of shear rate on various types of
liquids. As noted, some fluids may not be suitable for metering with the 682 Series flow
meter. See Section K Operating Limits for additional considerations concerning viscosity.
J) Pressure Loss
Pressure drop across a flow meter is the difference between of the inlet and outlet pressure of
the flow meter while it is operating. As flow rate increases through the meter, the pressure
drop will increase as shown in the chart below. When the metering system includes any
accessories such as an air eliminator or a valve, each of these devices will add approximately
5 PSI to the overall pressure drop for the meter system.
1) Thixotropic Liquids (Plastic and Peudoplastic):
Viscosity decreases as shear rate increases. Typical
liquids
include
gels,
Latex
paints,
lotions,
shortening, mayonnaise, printers ink, hand cleaner
and yeast.
2) Newtonian Liquids:
Viscosity remains unchanged with shear.
3) Dilatants Liquids:
Viscosity increases as shear rate increases. Most
liquids in this category are unsuitable with PD flow
meters. Examples include clay, slurries and some
confectionary bases.
