Typical Applications in Power Industry
Boiler & Steam Systems
Boilers and steam pipelines are the heart of any power plant. Precise monitoring of steam and feedwater flow and pressure ensures safe operation, prevents equipment damage, and maintains efficient energy use. Instruments operate reliably under high temperatures, high pressures, and continuous industrial conditions.
Common Measurement Needs:
- Flow measurement for boiler feedwater and steam
- Pressure monitoring in steam and feedwater lines
Recommended Instruments:
Electromagnetic flowmeter · Thermal mass flowmeter · Pressure transmitter
Feedwater & Turbine Condenser Circulation
Circulating water through feedwater loops, condensers, and cooling towers is critical for turbine efficiency and plant reliability. Accurate flow and pressure monitoring ensures turbines operate safely, prevents pump dry-run, and supports optimized heat recovery.
Common Measurement Needs:
- Flow measurement for circulating water through condensers and feedwater pumps
- Pressure monitoring to detect blockages, leaks, or abnormal pump pressure
Recommended Instruments:
Electromagnetic flowmeter · Thermal mass flowmeter · Pressure transmitter
Fuel & Chemical Feed Lines
Fuel oil, additives, or chemical dosing lines require precise measurement to ensure combustion efficiency, stable boiler operation, and environmental compliance.
Common Measurement Needs:
- Flow measurement for fuel and chemical dosing lines
- Pressure monitoring to prevent leaks or pipeline issues
- Level monitoring to avoid dry pump operation or overflow
Recommended Instruments:
Coriolis flowmeter · Electromagnetic flowmeter · Pressure transmitter · Level transmitter

FAQ
A: Yes. For high-temperature water, thermal or electromagnetic flowmeters can be used within their temperature limits (typically up to 120–150°C). For saturated or superheated steam, Vortex flowmeters are recommended—they provide accurate measurement up to 250°C without requiring a bypass. Our engineers can assist in selecting the right meter type, size, and installation location to maintain accuracy under varying pressure and flow conditions.
Start by providing pipe diameter, expected flow range, and water temperature. ARTang engineers will help select electromagnetic or thermal flowmeters with appropriate sizing and straight-run requirements to ensure stable readings, even under varying pump loads and seasonal temperature changes.
Yes. Coriolis or electromagnetic meters with corrosion-resistant materials (PTFE, Hastelloy, SS316L) ensure precise dosing. For viscous fuel oils or chemical additives, we provide guidelines on meter placement, straight-run length, and flow conditioning to avoid measurement errors.
Yes. All transmitters support 4–20 mA, HART, and Modbus RTU/TCP outputs. We provide wiring guidance, recommended parameter settings, and integration support to ensure real-time monitoring, alarms, and batch control work seamlessly with your automation system.
