What Is a Flow Meter?
A flow meter is a device used to measure the rate or quantity of a fluid moving through a pipe, duct or process system. Depending on the application, flow meters can measure liquids or fuel such as:
- Fuel
- Chemicals
- Paints and coatings
- Alcohol
- Resins
- Solvents
- Paint thinners
- Cleaning fluids
- Oils and petroleum-based liquids
- Additives
- Other industrial chemicals
Different types of flow meters are suited to different operating conditions. Factors such as the fluid type, expected flow rate, pipe diameter, temperature, pressure and required level of accuracy can all influence which flow meter is most appropriate.
Correct flow measurement can provide valuable operational information, helping businesses manage resources more efficiently, optimise industrial processes and identify unexpected changes in consumption.
Expert Flow Meter Installation
Correct installation is essential if a flow meter is to provide accurate and repeatable readings.
At BMS Group, our technicians have the knowledge and practical experience required to install flow meters across a variety of systems and environments. We assess the application and installation requirements carefully to ensure the meter is positioned and configured appropriately.
Our flow meter installation service can include the meter itself as well as associated transmitters, displays, totalisers and monitoring equipment. Contact BMS Group experts to discuss your installation requirements. Call us on 0345 230 7887 or email sales@bms-ltd.com.
Our Flow Meter Installation Process
Our installation process is designed to provide a complete and dependable solution.
1. Flow Meter Selection
The first stage is identifying the most suitable meter for your application. We consider important factors including:
- Type of fluid being measured
- Required flow range
- Pipe diameter
- Operating pressure and temperature
- Monitoring and communication requirements
Selecting the correct technology is important for achieving reliable measurements over the long term.
2. Flow Meter Installation
Once the appropriate meter has been selected, our technicians install it in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements and the conditions of the existing system.
Depending on the type of meter and application, this may involve an inline flow meter installation or a meter installed externally or adjacent to the pipe.
Correct positioning helps minimise measurement errors caused by turbulence, bends, valves, pumps and other components within the pipework.
3. Flow Meter Calibration
We ensure that installed flow meter is providing accurate readings.
Calibration may involve using an appropriate calibration method, reference instrument, calibration fluid or primary flow standard depending on the equipment and application.
Accurate calibration provides greater confidence that the flow readings being produced reflect actual operating conditions.
4. Flow Meter Transmitter Installation
A flow meter transmitter converts the meter’s measurement output into a standard electrical signal that can be read by other devices.
Our technicians can install and configure compatible transmitters as part of the overall flow measurement solution.
5. Flow Meter Display and Totaliser Installation
Where local readings are required, we can install a suitable flow meter display or totaliser.
A display provides operators with real-time flow information, while a totaliser records the accumulated quantity of fluid that has passed through the system.
These readings can be valuable for consumption monitoring, process management, reporting and identifying unusual usage patterns.
6. Final Checks and Commissioning
Following installation, we carry out appropriate checks to confirm that the equipment is operating correctly.
Our aim is to leave you with a fully operational flow measurement system that meets the requirements of your application.
Why Is Correct Flow Meter Installation Important?
Even a high-quality flow meter can produce inaccurate readings if it is installed incorrectly.
Pipe configuration, flow direction, turbulence, incorrect meter sizing, insufficient straight pipework and poor positioning can all affect measurement performance.
Professional installation helps ensure your flow meter delivers the level of accuracy and reliability it was designed to provide. To help you choose the right flow meter for your application and to arrange installation and commissioning, call us on 0345 230 7887 or email sales@bms-ltd.com

What Our Clients Say About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a flow meter measure?
A flow meter measures the rate or quantity of a liquid or gas moving through a pipe, duct or process system. Depending on the meter, it may display an instantaneous flow rate, accumulated flow volume or both.
Which type of flow meter do I need?
The correct flow meter depends on several factors, including the fluid being measured, flow range, pipe size, operating pressure and temperature, required accuracy and installation conditions. BMS Group specialists can assess your application and help identify a suitable option. To get expert advice, call us on 0345 230 7887 or email sales@bms-ltd.com.
Can you install flow meters on existing pipework?
Yes. In many applications, a flow meter can be installed as part of an existing pipework system. The installation method will depend on the meter technology, pipe configuration and operating requirements.
Can a flow meter connect to a BMS or control system?
Yes. Many flow meters can be connected to building management systems, PLCs, process control equipment and data logging platforms using a compatible transmitter or communication interface. Talk to BMS Group specialists to discuss your requirements, call 0345 230 7887 or email sales@bms-ltd.com.
What is a flow meter totaliser?
A flow meter totaliser calculates and displays the total quantity of fluid that has passed through the system. This can be particularly useful for monitoring consumption over a specific period.
What industries do you provide flow meter installation for?
BMS Group can provide flow meter installation for a variety of sectors, including aviation, marine, chemical manufacturing, MOD, blue light services, industrial processing and commercial applications.
