flow totalizer
A flow totalizer is a precision instrument used to continuously measure and accumulate the total volume of fluid passing through a pipeline. By integrating real-time flow rate signals, it provides reliable cumulative flow data that supports accurate monitoring, process control, and cost management across industrial and commercial systems.
A standard flow totalizer includes a flow sensor, signal processing module, and digital display, working together to ensure stable and accurate measurement. Modern models use advanced microprocessors, allowing them to process multiple inputs, log historical data, and provide flexible output options for seamless system integration.
Flow totalizers are compatible with liquids, gases, and steam, and many units offer temperature and pressure compensation to improve measurement accuracy under varying operating conditions. Depending on application needs, the device may use magnetic, ultrasonic, turbine, or other measurement technologies.
Widely used in process plants, water management, and metering applications, flow totalizers help operators maintain efficiency and ensure accurate billing or consumption tracking. Additional features—such as batch control, configurable alarms, and communication interfaces—make them an essential component in modern automation and monitoring systems.
