Climate, Environment and Energy - These are some of today's buzzwords. The industry is getting more and more affected by these trends as global energy consumption tops the agenda. Greater than ever, energy prices have prompted site managers and planning engineers to improve energy efficiency wherever possible.
A first step towards obtaining better energy efficiency is to start monitoring the energy consumption more closely. This can be achieved with process instrumentation e.g. a flowmeter, that monitors flow be it either steam, gas and/or liquid.

The position of the control valve in flowmeters can be crucial when measuring gas flow, regardless of whether the valves are built into the device or separate. If a valve is used to reduce the flow at the inlet of the measuring device, the pressure in the measuring tube behind the valve is reduced. Because gases are compressible, this change in operating pressure results in a significant measurement error.
