Pressure measurement is only as dependable as the instruments and accessories that protect it. In real-world service, pressure gauges often face sudden spikes, pulsation, vibration, and high-flow events that can shorten gauge life and compromise readability. A pressure gauge socket restrictor is a simple component designed to reduce those problems. Installed at the gauge connection, […]

A turbine flow meter is a precision instrument used to measure the volumetric flow of clean liquids and gases. It operates on a simple mechanical principle that converts fluid velocity into rotational speed. At Mid-West Instrument, we recognize the turbine flow meter as a proven technology for repeatable, high-resolution flow measurement under well-defined process conditions. […]

Multiphase production streams occur when gas and liquid move together in the same line, sometimes with oil and water present as separate liquid phases. A multiphase flow meter is designed to measure these mixed streams without fully separating them into individual phases. At Mid-West Instrument, we treat multiphase measurement as a system-level task rather than […]

In process industries, accurate and repeatable flow measurement is at the heart of safe, efficient operations. Across water and wastewater, chemical processing, food and beverage, and industrial utilities, plants rely on dependable flow data to control quality, protect assets, and meet regulatory requirements. Magnetic flow meters have rapidly grown to become the second largest segment […]

We design measurement solutions that perform in real irrigation conditions, where water quality changes with the season and the available pressure has to stretch across long mains, laterals, and pivots. In practice that means an irrigation flow meter must tolerate sand, silt, algae, and pockets of air while adding as little permanent pressure loss as […]

We design and support measurement solutions that help customers build stable, efficient utilities. In compressed air, inert gas, water, and other plant services, loop piping is one of the most effective layouts you can choose. A loop ties the main header back to the source so flow can approach the use point from more than […]

At Mid-West Instrument, we understand the challenges posed by pulsating flow in various industrial applications. Pulsating flow, characterized by rapid fluctuations in pressure and flow rate within a system, can lead to inaccurate readings and premature wear of equipment. Our glycerin-filled differential pressure gauges are designed to address these challenges, providing accurate measurements and enhanced […]

An orifice plate is a straightforward yet fundamental device widely used in fluid measurement and control systems, particularly for determining flow rates in pipelines. It falls under the category of flow meters and is often used in combination with differential pressure meters. Basic Design of an Orifice Plate The basic design of an orifice plate […]
