How to Choose Children’s Clothing

September 17, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Today we have Emma to write a guest post for us. Emma is the CEO at Kimi Dog, the wholesale children’s clothing company. She knows everything about children’s clothing.

Hi, I’m Emma Today I’m going to talk about how to choose children’s clothing.

When you have a baby, it seems that your baby is the most important thing in your life. You need to feed your baby, change your baby’s diapers, and your baby doesn’t seem to have a break for 24 hours. For many years to come, your child may be the most important thing in your life. Also, you need to buy a lot of things for your child. One of them is children’s clothing.

Your children’s clothes are different from your own, so you need to know how to choose clothes for your children.

You’ll know how to choose and how to save money on children’s clothing after reading this article. 

Let’s get started！

Comfort is the most important

For Kids, comfort is the priority. Your children will look great in slim shirts, but they also suffer from stiff collars. When choosing clothes for your children, choose loose casual clothes or activewear. These clothes not only comfortable but also meet the needs of children’s activities. Leggings are also a good choice for girls. They are tight but comfortable. 

What fabric should you choose

Choosing the right fabrics is not only about comfort but also about durability. Most kids love activities or sports. So think about what fabrics to choose for them to wear during activities and games. Parents all like natural fabrics, there is no problem with it. However, I wouldn’t say the synthetic fabric is a bad choice. What natural fabrics are suitable for children’s clothing? Cotton, linen, wool, and so on. These fabrics are natural and comfortable. If you want something more natural, you can go organic, but it’s also more expensive. Sometimes, though, synthetic fabrics are a good choice. Synthetic fabrics have many advantages that natural materials don’t have. So for some clothes such as hardshell jackets and jerseys, synthetic fabrics must be the better choice. Blended fabrics are also something you need to know. They are the best of both worlds. For example, Cotton/Polyester blends. With the breathability of cotton and the durability of polyester. And because of polyester is blended, it’s cheaper. In short, choose different fabrics for different purposes.

Buy a size up

The speed with which children grow can surprise and sometimes catch us off guard, and last year’s clothes probably didn’t fit. If you want everything to last longer, buy clothes that are bigger for your kids. But one size too big is enough, two sizes too big, children wear uncomfortable.

Don’t forget to consider quality 

Quality is an essential factor when choosing children’s clothing. When children play and do activities, they will inevitably pull clothes, and if the quality is not good enough, other children may break their clothes. How do you know if a piece of clothing is of good quality? One is the fabric, and the other is the stitching. Yohe clothes, generally speaking, excellent fabrics are soft and strong. It’s easy to judge the quality by stitching. High-quality clothes have eave and dense stitches, and the stitches must be straight.

Choose good styles to make your kids happy

Is style important when choosing children’s clothes? Of course, it matters. Who doesn’t want their kids to be cute? If you have older kids, you can even let your kids pick out their clothes. However, comfort is the most important, if a piece of clothing looks good but not comfortable enough, then forget it.

Best Tips for Feeding Your Baby

August 26, 2019 by Leave a Comment

 

The following is a guest post. The opinions are those of the author and do not  represent those of this website.

 

If you are here today, the chances are that this is the first time that you are dealing with a newborn. Or in simpler words, you are just about to become a parent for the first time and you are confused about particular things like feeding the baby, etc. Well, if that’s the case and if you really are worried then first we’ll ask you to stop panicking and stay easy and calm. Yes, you read that right! You don’t have to panic at all because it’s not that difficult. After all, everyone becomes a parent sooner or later in his life, so think about it? If it was that difficult, would everyone have babies? 

 

Now, coming back to the topic of today, if you want to know how to feed your baby or if you are looking for some tips to feed a newborn then you are at the right place, reading the right article. Today we are going to jot down some of the best tips and suggestions from the pro moms who have been excellent when it comes to dealing with a newborn. 

 

1- Stick With Breast Milk 

You don’t use any fluids other than breast milk or infant formula when it comes to newborns. Especially if you want your baby to be healthy and strong, then the wiser thing to do is to stick with breast milk. A lot of mothers out there use infant formulas to feed their babies which isn’t wrong, but if you have the breast milk and if there’s no problem with it then this should be your first priority. Infant formulas don’t have the nutrition and vitamins etc that your little one needs and this is something every doctor will tell you too. 

 

2- Feed Your Little One On Cue 

Babies are unpredictable! We repeat, they are unpredictable and their hunger cycles too. So, you need to be very very careful with that. Look for cues when you want to know whether your little one is hungry or not. Usually, newborns take 12 to 14 feeds every single day after two to three hours. If your baby is a little cranky one, he will probably start crying right away when he is  hungry but if he doesn’t cry, he will start giving away cues like sucking his toes, closing his mouth, moving the hands to the mouth and of course fussing and crying are the most obvious signs that he is hungry. 

 

3- Vitamin D Supplements

This is something you need to ask your baby’s doctor. Ask if you can give the baby Vitamin D supplements because sometimes, the Vitamin D in a mother’s breast milk isn’t sufficient for the baby, which can be a problem. So, either ask the doctor to recommend you Vitamin D supplements or ask him/her if you can give these supplements to the baby. 

 

4- Trust Your Instincts 

It’s God’s gift to a mother that she can instantly know if there’s something wrong with the baby or his food or his feeding pattern. So, as a mother, you need to trust your instincts, and when you know something isn’t quite right for your baby, follow it and do as your heart says. You are supposed to have faith in your own-self before consulting any doctor or any other mother. Just believe in what you feel! 

 

Conclusion

These are some of the best tips that can be useful for you for feeding your baby. Follow these tips, and we assure you that everything will fall into place for you and your little one. Just don’t panic, no matter what.

Best tips meant to help new reborn parents

August 18, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Did you just buy your first reborn baby and don’t know what to do with it? Don’t worry; we got you covered! Today our special guests are the guys from the newest Reborn baby store in Brazil – Bebe Reborn Original who have 5 tips that will make you a better parent of your doll.

Being a reborn parent can be a real choir from time to time. You have to learn a lot of valuable lessons otherwise, there is a real chance you will damage your favorite baby. Luckily for you, there is nothing complex there and most things can be learned from a short article such as this.

So, don’t waste any time and start learning about the best ways of handling your baby!

 

  1. Think about the clothing

When you buy a reborn doll, in most cases you will get a set of clothing. These outfits are often generic with little to no charm to them. This can be really deflating as you want your babies to be presentable. This is especially true if you have a large collection or if you keep your babies in a cupboard. Of course, there is always an option of swapping clothes from time to time which is another reason why you need to increase your collection. Make sure to separate between boy and girl clothing as this is something that people will notice

  1. Be careful when cleaning the baby

Some women tend to go overboard when it comes to their reborn babies and their cleanliness. We strongly suggest against it. Unlike a real baby, there are some consequences if you overdo it with cleanliness. The paint is especially problematic as it can be affected by almost anything. Babies also have sensitive body made of cloth; if you soak it too much, it will start getting moldy which is the last thing you need. Strong chemicals can also be troublesome so make sure to simply wipe your baby with a clean tissue with a minimal amount of water being used

  1. It is much heavier than it seems

One of the things that new owners get wrong all the time is  baby’s weight and dimensions. For example, reborns are more similar to real babies than they are to dolls. In that sense, don’t be surprised if your arms start hurting after a while. They are full of pellets that make them similar to the real newborns but it is something you will get used. However, during the first few days, make sure to hold it properly as you don’t want your baby to fall down. Similar goes for its dimensions. Babies are very similar to real kids which is why you will have to take care of them when walking through doors and doing other activities. Try to avoid any type of negative exposure!

  1. Sunlight is a big problem

When talking about negative exposure, it is hard not to mention sunlight. As you might’ve presumed by now, leaving your doll in a direct sunlight can have a disastrous impact on its paint. In a way, it can completely ruin a masterpiece. Not only should you take care when walking it but you should also make sure that the nursery is facing the right side.

  1. Never leave your doll in a car

When people see a doll in a car, they instantly think that it’s a real baby. They will even break your glass in order to get it out. There were a lot of these cases in the past so be mindful of this. If you already want to take out your baby, make sure to put some cloth over it so that people can’t recognize what’s beneath it.

10 Backyard Must-Haves For Summer

August 17, 2019 by 1 Comment

Who doesn’t love summer? The days are longer and warmer, family camping and adventures are in full swing, and we finally get to feel the warmth of the sun on our face. But if you have a backyard that’s less than prepared for the long, sunny days ahead, you may find yourself spending more time indoors than taking advantage of the gorgeous weather outside.

Rather than secluding yourself to your living room all summer, consider adding these 10 backyard must-haves to encourage your family and guests to spend a little time in the great outdoors.

1. Laid Back Ambient Lighting

And when the sun goes down, rather than retreating to the indoors, consider adding some solar lights to keep the party going for just a little bit longer. Solar string lights are easy to install and don’t require any extra electricity.

Solar path lights will illuminate the way and make getting in and out of the backyard safer and easier. Not to mention, solar lights, in general, add a soft, comforting ambiance to your backyard space that your guests will love.

2. Cool Down Zone

Some days in the summer it’s so hot that a shady area still isn’t enough. Rather than sweating it out, think about building a kid-friendly cool down zone that the whole family can enjoy!

You can really make this project whatever you want it to be, but some clever ideas include setting up a “kid car wash”, adding a DIY splash pad, and for the adults, Target is now selling what they call the first “designer inflatable pool”. Whether you think that’s silly or not, you’re totally going to love it when the temperature gets up into the high 90s.

3. Outdoor Movie Setup

Nothing says summer quite like outdoor movies. But for many of us, drive-in movie theatres are either a thing of the past or the closest one is still too far away to go to it regularly. Why not replicate that nostalgia in your own backyard?

 

Once you invest in a movie projector, the rest of your outdoor movie setup will come together pretty affordably. Find a nice white sheet, attach it to the side of the house, add a bunch of comfy chairs, pillows, and blankets, and kick back and relax with the whole family.

4. Welcome Feathered Friends

There’s nothing like the sweet sound of a songbird to welcome summer with open arms. Watching birds is a fun and relaxing experience that encourages your family to spend some quality time outdoors.

There are a variety of affordable bird feeders and seed to get started, but if you want to make a project out of it, there are numerous free bird house plans to make your own.

5. A Shady Space to Relax

If there’s anything that prevents people from going outside in the summer, it’s having to sit in an area that’s directly in the sun with no shade to cool it down. Rather than subjecting your guests to a sunburn, consider adding a cool, refreshing, shady space for everyone to hang out in! Find some comfy chairs, invest in a backyard pergola, and if you really want to take it to the next level, consider adding a few outdoor ceiling fans.

6. Grow Some Pops of Color

Just because spring is coming to an end, it doesn’t mean that you can’t add some bright pops of color to take your yard from blah to beautiful. There are numerous flowers that bloom in the summer as well as some beautiful foliage that will make a statement in your garden beds year round.

7. Outdoor Dining Area

One of the best parts of summer is gathering the whole family together and throwing a backyard BBQ full of laughter, fun, and of course, some tasty food. Rather than barbecuing outside and taking the food indoors, why not establish an outdoor dining area to enjoy the food outdoors?

Consider investing in a patio dining set or building your very own picnic table to offer plenty of space for your guests to sit at. Finish off the look by adding an outdoor rug and some seasonally-appropriate dishes and cutlery.

8. Kid-Friendly Garden Bed

If your kids haven’t had the opportunity to try their hand at gardening, consider building a garden bed that is all theirs! Plant some easy to grow vegetables like beans, carrots, spinach, and radishes, and see their face light up as little sprouts start to make their way out of the soil. 

 

Giving them their own garden bed rather than having them share a space with your current garden beds let them have a bit of ownership over the whole process and they’ll get to see what happens when they care for their plants, and what happens when they don’t.

9. Stone Path Walkway

Is the pathway to your backyard full of those pokey, uncomfortable gravel rocks that feel absolutely horrible underneath your feet?

Don’t suffer another summer of aching feet! Embrace that barefoot lifestyle by adding stone steppers and soft, plush groundcovers to establish and elegant, and functional walkway.

10. Built-In Fire Pit and Smores Bar

After the sun has gone down and dinner is over, keep the party going with an outdoor fire pit! There are numerous different fire pits in all sorts of shapes and sizes to fit your space as well as both propane and wood-burning options. And what’s a fire without some smores? Set up a smores bar at your outdoor dining table and watch the kids go wild with excitement.

Laser Hair Removal: Hair Goes, Everything Else Stays

July 25, 2019 by Leave a Comment

 

The following is a guest post. It reflects the author’s thoughts and experiences.

 

I’m not too proud to admit that I was a bit nervous about getting laser hair removal. I mean, even the title is a bit intimidating: hair, removed by a laser. I don’t know a whole lot about lasers, but I know they’re powerful. I know they’ve been used as weapons in a million movies and TV shows, so I feel like it’s OK to be nervous about using a laser to remove hair. I searched around southern California, looking for somewhere that had this service and made me feel right. That’s what brought me to Divante.

Why I Needed Laser Hair Removal

I think people, no matter what gender they are, know what it’s like to struggle to get rid of a hair they’re shaving. Whether it’s on your chin, legs or anywhere else, there are certain hairs that, for whatever reason, require tweezers, undivided concentration, and more. The problem becomes when you have hairs that there’s literally no way to get rid of. I’ve had plenty of those. These seemingly “invincible” hairs have been a pain for as long as I can remember having hairs. Trimming them, when it’s done, seems to make them only more resolute about growing in the same place. Divante, when I looked at them had, had a permanent hair removal solution that sounded fantastic to me.

Hair Anywhere

I have a certain part of my body that I don’t want hair in, and no matter what I do, it keeps coming back. What I loved about Divante (well, one of the things I loved about Divante) was the sheer number of options for hair removal. You can get them to remove hair in so many different parts of your body, some of which I legit didn’t know were capable of growing excess hair. What I really liked, on top of that, were the packages. If you only have problem hairs in a few areas, they can focus on those areas, so that you can make them look how you want.

Laser Precision

Lasers, whatever else you might think about them, are so precise. That was one of my initial fears of this hair removal: that the lasers were going to maybe eliminate the hair, but also take a bunch of skin and hair with them. What makes the lasers at Divante so great is that they focus just on one area. There’s no “mission creep,” they don’t suddenly start eliminating more hair than they should. That means you can pick exactly where you want hair to be removed.

Specificity and More

It was so cool how they got rid of only the hair I wanted to get rid of. I’d been picking at that, going in with tweezers, but really cutting nothing short except my patience. The people who operate these lasers for Divante must be real wizards because they did an out and out magical job. To see what they can do for you, call (818) 334-4737.

Metro Vein Centers Dr. Kent Johnson Gives a Low Down on the Symptoms Varicose Veins

July 15, 2019 by 1 Comment

Kent Johnson MD, with over 25 years of experience in the practice of Medicine, gives a low down on the symptoms of varicose veins. He is a leading vein doctor working at the Texas branch of the Metro Vein Centers, whose primary goal is to help alleviate the pain of varicose veins. These are unsightly bulges due to weakened valves that cause blood to pool in an area. These can occur in any part of the body, but they are most commonly seen in your legs.

 

Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic problem, but it is a pressing issue that has the potential to affect people’s quality of lives. Thus, it is imperative that you consult a doctor in a vein center to get the right imaging diagnostic tests to assess the severity problem and to receive the proper treatment to prevent the re-canalization of these veins. It is important to seek someone you trust, like the specialists at the Metro Vein Centers located in Michigan, Texas, New Jersey, and New York, so you can be assured that the proper procedure is chosen for your case because varicose veins come with different levels of severity. Here are the symptoms of varicose veins that you should keep an eye on: 

 

Bulging Veins

 

There are bulging veins on your legs that are often twisted and look like cords. At times, they can also look like discolored spider webs coming in the hues of blue and purple. There are some minor cases when they just look ugly, but do not cause any pain nor discomfort. But don’t wait before these veins get any bigger to consult your doctor. The bigger it gets, the harder it becomes to treat and eliminate.

 

Swelling 

 

Watch out for edema or swelling in your ankles and feet. Sometimes, prolonged sitting and standing makes your feet area super painful, making your shoes feel extra tight. Keep an eye out for this discomfort because it means circulation down there is no longer good because of the weakened veins.

 

Leg Heaviness

 

Similar to swelling, you can feel that your legs are extra heavy after too much standing or walking. This can also occur when you’ve been stuck in the same sitting position for awhile because it impedes the blood flow. Often you’ll feel like your legs are throbbing and constantly cramping. When the occurrence of this impedes your daily life, seek professional help because you may need a minor surgical intervention to relieve your pain.

 

Discolored Skin 

 

Often, there is a discoloration of the skin around the area of the varicose veins. This is due to telangiectasias, which in layman’s term refers to the clusters of red veins that are visible beneath the surface of the skin. At times, this appears in the upper body, even the face, along with the legs.

 

Dermatitis

 

Varicose veins can cause severe dermatitis, also known as itchiness of the skin. Sometimes, they can even look like eczema, with dry, scaly patches. If you can’t resists scratching, they can become irritated and leave unsightly abrasions. Worse case scenario is these veins will bleed and/or leave skin ulcers (sores), which can become easily infected.

 

It is important be aware of these symptoms. Disregarding them can have detrimental consequences. An example is superficial thrombophlebitis or a blood clot in the vein near the surface of the skin, which causes severe pain. The worst possible complication of severe varicose veins is deep vein thrombosis or DVT. This can lead to a blood clot in the lungs or a pulmonary embolism that can be fatal.

 

Dr. Kent Johnson emphasized that you have to go to a vein doctor to get the proper treatment at the first sign of trouble. It is not vanity to take care of these ghastly varicose veins, but a matter of necessity because they are painful and can lead to complications. Prevention will always be better than cure, so it is best to nip these varicose veins in the bud while they are still just in the beginning stages.

How to Travel with No Money: A Guide to Help Fund Your Adventure- Guest Post

July 10, 2019 by Leave a Comment

The following is a guest post. The opinions are those of the author.

Thinking of traveling but don’t have adequate money to facilitate your trip? Well, don’t worry yourself too much. There are many incredible ways to travel with no money and in an affordable way.

You don’t need to be rich to travel. You just need to be creative on how to travel with no money. And the best way to do this is by learning smart ways to find and save money for travel.

Read on to discover some of the best tips to help you travel for free or save tons of money on your adventure:

1. Discover Ways to Earn Free Flights

The biggest hindrance when traveling, especially abroad, is the cost of flights and accommodation. If you can find a way to do away with both of these factors, you can travel to almost anywhere in the world.

There are many ways to earn free flights today. You can sign up for several travel credit cards, use them to collect points, and get mileage for free. Credit cards have many rewards that people fail to explore because they aren’t aware of them.

Sign up for an airline card plus a general rewards card and collect points on both of them. When traveling, combine the bonus balances from the two cards and earn yourself a free or very cheap flight to your destination.

2. Hunt for Free Accommodation

It’s easy to get free accommodation today at your destination if you’re willing to do a thorough search. Many people are trying this technique and find it to be one of the best ways to cut travel expenditure.

There are many reasons and services that locals would allow you to stay at their house for free. Various websites link travelers with such locals. Couchsurfing is a good example.

Your host may offer you a room, couch, or even an air mattress during your stay. Don’t be shy to ask for free accommodation, even on your social media site. Today, a simple statement on Twitter such as, “Hey guys, I’m traveling to this city on this date – does anyone want to host me?” can get you free accommodation and a tour guide.

3. Take Advantage of The Sharing Economy

In recent years, people have become more willing to share services that make traveling easier and cheaper. Aside from sharing accommodation, it’s now easy to find fellow travelers willing to share rides, meals, gear, train tickets, and more.

When you use websites that link you with locals acting as small tourism companies, you can cut your travel costs by more than half. Locals offer the same services that traditional travel industry companies do, but at a lower price by far.

They know where the cheapest product offers are, what restaurants and bars have the best services and prices, as well as the best ways to commute around your destination with the lowest fares.

4. Get a Payday Loan

If you find a travel opportunity that you must take advantage of but don’t have the cash to fund it, a payday loan can come in handy. A payday loan is the easiest way to get quick cash without having to bother friends, family, or colleagues.

It’s easy to apply for a payday loan if your credit score is okay and you meet all the other requirements by a lender. If you have previously made applications but keep getting denied for payday loans, talk to your lender and see what could be the problem.

If your credit score is the issue, you can consider taking a payday loan for bad credit. You can also take time to rebuild your credit score so that you qualify next time.

5. Offer a Service in Exchange of Free Hosting

There is so much that you can do for a host to allow you to stay at their place for free. For example, you can offer to watch their house or pets while they are away. This could entail feeding their pets, watering their plants, or even watching their kids.

The host rests easy, knowing their house is in good hands while you get the chance to enjoy free hosting. A good example of websites where you can find such clients is TrustedHousesitters.com and MindMyHouse.com.

You can also do something to benefit the community around your destination in exchange for accommodation. For instance, you could help the locals build houses or schools, or even teach them English.

Another great way on how to travel with no money is working for the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. This is a platform that allows you to work on a farm in exchange for free rooms and food. It’s a great way to explore new places with no money.

6. Crowdfund Your Trip

It may sound crazy, but it’s possible. Crowdfunding is simply getting people to come together and fund your goal. It’s mostly utilized by startup companies seeking capital to grow their business, but travelers can use it too.

You only need to go to sites like GoFundMe and Indiegogo to explain to people why they should fund your trip. If your story is relatable and somehow inspirational, you’re likely to get all the funding you need for your trip. Most volunteers traveling to a destination to help a community often get recognized in such platforms.

7. Airbnb Your Home or Apartment for Travel Funds

Airbnb is currently one of the best ways to find accommodation for travelers. It’s cheaper than hotels and easy to find.

The good thing with this platform is that it can also help you fund your trip when you want to travel with no money. Just place your home or apartment on Airbnb for the period you’ll be away and earn on it. You’ll most likely make more than you will spend at your destination.

Tips on How to Travel With no Money

Money is a significant determinant of whether one should travel or not, but it shouldn’t always be the deal breaker. Try out all the above tips on how to travel with no money, and you’ll realize how easy it can be to fund your adventure.

Magnetic Flow Meters Vs. Ultrasonic Flow Meters

June 20, 2019 by Leave a Comment

While choosing the right flow meter measurement solution for your system is crucial and vital, your aptness to depend on the meter’s readings will highly rely on the application. Each flow meter technology will, for sure, have its pros and cons. However, it is the fine distinction of your system, and what’s traversing through it that should get the most attention.

For example, you are dealing with water-based applications. For water applications, there are plenty of different technologies that can perform well. However, is the water ionized? Does it have particles or bubbles?

 

Once you answer such questions, you will easily know what type of flow meter will best work for your system. And for water applications, ultrasonic and magnetic flow meters have risen up to fame. Which is better? For more information, this post will walk you through the advantages and disadvantages of the two measurement technologies.

Magnetic Flow Meters

Magnetic flow meters also called magmeters, are used to calculate flow rates by applying the Electromagnetic Induction of Faraday’s Law. With this measurement technology, a magnetic field is, for the most part, made by providing current through a magnetic coil resonating the flow tube.

 

The conductive liquid or media then produces a voltage as it traverses through the magnetic field of the meter and flow tube. The electrodes can feel and calculate the voltage made as, more often than not, the liquid traverse through the pipe.

 

The higher the velocity, the greater the voltage. Therefore, it creates a consistent signal that’s, for the most part, transformed into a volumetric flow. Magnetic flow meters, such as smart measurement magnetic flow meters, are specifically engineered for systems that deal with conductive fluids such as slurries, caustic liquids, acids, and water.

Advantages

  • Magnetic flow meters have a service life of about 75 years.
  • Magnetic flow meters have the capability to register remotely, local energy management system.
  • Magnetic flow meters are available in an extensive variety of communication protocols.
  • Magnetic flow meters are applicable or suitable to liquids with massive particulates.
  • Magnetic flow meters can react well to expeditious changes in flow.
  • Magnetic flow meters don’t need straight run and are applicable to nearly all flow profiles.
  • Magnetic flow meters are unaffected by pressure, temperature, and viscosity as long as the magnetic flow meter is chosen based on the process conditions.
  • Magnetic flow meters are available for pipe diameters from .10 inches to 120 inches.
  • Almost zero pressure drop and no flow obstructions or moving parts.

Disadvantages

  • The preciseness might be influenced by air space in the pipeline.
  • The water flowing in the pipe must have a certain quantity of Microsiemens, providing it the power to conduct electricity or heat.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

The ultrasonic flow meter will, for the most part, recognize and calculate flow rates without using moving parts or infiltrating the flow stream. In order for it to perform well, they apply one of the two following ideas of operation.

 

The first principle is Transit-Time Ultrasonic Flow Meters. It sends or transmits a sound wave via the flow, depending on the time difference between the downstream and upstream times of flight. The difference in time is equivalent to the flow’s velocity.

 

This measurement technology is not applicable for water-based applications with high concentrations of suspended particles or heavy aeration because it can impede or block the sound waves. Nevertheless, they’re more suitable for ultra-pure and clean flows.

 

The second principle is the Doppler Ultrasonic Flow Meters. Like the Transit-Time Ultrasonic Flow Meters, it also transmits sound waves into the flow. However, the Doppler Ultrasonic Flow Meters rely highly on suspended particles and bubbles in the water to send back the sound waves, creating a change in the frequency.

 

Any change in the frequency is equivalent to the flow velocity. Thus, Doppler Ultrasonic flow meters are applicable for impure or aerated water applications, such as waste-water.

Advantages

  • It is able to interface or interact with an energy management system.
  • It is available in many communication protocols.
  • It is not susceptible to changes in pressure, density, viscosity, and temperature.
  • It can be used with abrasive fluids.
  • It requires less maintenance.
  • It won’t contaminate or obstruct the process.
  • Low-cost.

Disadvantages

  • The accuracy might be influenced by the size dispersal of particles.
  • The accuracy might be influenced by air space in the pipeline.
  • The fouling, pitting, and scaling that can happen in the long run in older pipe systems can be a huge problem.
  • Any unknown piping variables can change the flow signal and make inaccuracies.

Takeaway

Choosing the right flow meter for the right application is crucial in a fluid measurement project. With that said, you need to do your research beforehand. Learn all the advantages you can get as well as the drawbacks to prevent any mishaps in the future.
