Flow measurement devices, or flow sensors, measure the volume of a liquid or gas that passes through a container in a given amount of time. This course discusses the common flow, level, and pressure sensor designs as well as defines common industry terms such as "turndown ratio," "psi," and "atmospheric pressure."

Learning Objectives

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Identify and describe common flow sensor designs
  • Distinguish between differential producing flow meters and linear flow meters
  • Define "turndown ratio"
  • Differentiate between point level sensors and continuous level sensors
  • Identify and describe common level sensors
  • Define "psi" and "atmospheric pressure"
  • Identify and describe common pressure sensors

Key Questions

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What is the purpose of a fastener?
Fasteners are used to connect two or more objects together mechanically.

What are some common types of screws?
Wood screws, shet metal screws, machine screws, and socket screws are the most common types of screws.

How are bolts different from screws?
Bolts are threaded fasteners like screws, but they're held in place by either a nut or a threaded hole on the other side.

How are screws and bolts measured?
Regular screws are measured from just under the head to the end of the screw, but a countersunk fastener is measured from end to end.

What is torque?
Torque is a force that causes a change in rotational motion around an axis. A torque wrench is used to apply a specified amount of torque to a fastener.

Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

Solids that flow and conform a level surface in a container are either powder or granular in nature. Two common point level sensors for solids are the vibrating probe and the rotating paddle. The vibrating probe consists of a vibrating rod. When the rod comes in contact with the surface of the material, the vibration changes. This change is detected and a switch is activated. In the rotating paddle sensor, a small motor rotates paddles at the desired level. When the level of the material reaches the paddles, their rotation is stopped. This causes the motor to stall and activates a switch.

Customer Q&A

Ask a Question

Sorry, we're missing some information

I would like to have several employees take multiple courses. How can I set that up?

We're in the process of making bulk course and multiple user purchases easier. But for now, you can order multiple courses and contact us with details on who you'd like to assign courses to. We can set up each user's training plan and make sure everyone gets the eLearning assignments they need.

Can I get a free full-length preview of a course to see what this course covers?

While we do our best to offer details on course contents, we don't normally offer full-length previews. But please contact us with more details for a better understanding of what your organizaton needs and how we can help.

Do I get a certificate when I complete a course?

Yes. All of our courses allow you to print a completion certficate upon successfully passing the integrated test at the end of each eLearning course.

How do I log in to take a course that I have already paid for?

You'll receive an email with login details moments after you purchase your pay-per-view (PPV) course. Just click the login link and enter the user name and password provided.

Do you have courses in different languages?

Yes. While all of our courses are originally produced in English, we develop many courses in a growing number of languages, including Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, and Thai. Available languages are normally displayed in the Course Details section on each course page.
