Flow sensors and flow indicators are flowmeter devices used to measure the amount of liquid, gas or vapour that passes through them. They can also be known as flow gauges or liquid meters. Flow sensors are available as time measuring units, that measure flow rates over a set time period, or they can be totalising flow meters that continually measure the medium passed through.
Flow sensors consist of a primary medium connection device, transducer and transmitter. The transducer senses the fluid that passes through the primary device. The transmitter produces an output signal from the raw transducer signal.
Types of Flow Sensors and Indicators
Paddlewheel Flow Sensors or Turbine: One of the most common types of flow sensor. The sensors are connected to a pipe with liquid passing through and turning a paddle wheel, the primary device calculates the speed as the paddle is turned. This simple structure is compact and can perform large-capacity measurement. Disadvantages are clogging and maintenance is required to cope with the axial wear otherwise the paddle needs replacing.
Rotaflow or Variable Area Flow Sensors: Rotaflow meters are a tapered tube and a float. It is most widely used for gases and liquids flow measurement because of its low cost, simplicity, low pressure drop and linear output.
Magnetic-Inductive Sensors: This type of sensor detects three process categories, volumetric flow quantity, consumed quantity and medium temperature.
Applications for Flow Sensors
Each type of flow sensor has its own specific applications and installation constraints. There is no one size fits all flowmeter. The way to select the right flowmeter is to think about the application as a guide, not the technology. Many of the technologies work well on many applications. Starting with the application, will help to select the technology based on accuracy, cost, durability and reliability, rather than trying to make the technology fit the application you have. Can include the following applications:
- Water treatment
- Cooling systems
- Industrial Washing Systems
- Irrigation
Things to consider:
- What is the fluid being measured, if not water what is its viscosity?
- Rate measurement or totalisation?
- Display or signal output?
- What is the minimum and maximum flowrate, process pressure and process temperature?
- Size of the pipe

Russia accuses US of fueling Ukrainian crisis
MOSCOW >> Russia's foreign minister on Saturday accused the United States of encouraging Ukraine to challenge Moscow and heavily weighing in on the European Union.
Speaking in televised remarks Saturday, Sergey Lavrov said that "our American colleagues still prefer to push the Ukrainian leadership toward a confrontational path."
He added that chances for settling the Ukrainian crisis would have been higher if it only depended on Russia and Europe.
Lavrov spoke after Friday's European Union summit, which decided not to immediately impose new sanctions on Russia for destabilizing eastern Ukraine, but gave the Russian government and pro-Russian insurgents there until Monday to take steps to improve the situation.
Ukraine on Friday signed a free-trade pact with the EU, the very deal that a former Ukrainian president dumped under pressure from Moscow in November, fueling huge protests that eventually drove him from power. Moscow responded by annexing the mainly Russian-speaking Crimean Peninsula in March, and a pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine erupted the month after, leading to the developments that have brought Russia-West relations to their lowest point since the Cold War times.
The U.S. and the EU have slapped travel bans and asset freezes on members of Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle and threatened to impose more crippling sanctions against entire sectors of Russia's economy if the Kremlin fails to de-escalate the crisis.
The EU leaders on Friday said Russia and the rebels should take steps to ease the violence, including releasing all captives, retreating from border checkpoints, agreeing on a way to verify the cease-fire and launching "substantial negotiations" on Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's peace plan.
The weeklong cease-fire, which both sides have been accused of violating, expired at 10 p.m. local time (1900 GMT), but Poroshenko quickly declared its extension until 10 p.m. local time Monday. He warned, however, that the cease-fire could be terminated in areas where rebels violate it.
A leader of the insurgents, Alexander Borodai, promised to abide by the extended cease-fire after Friday's troika talks that included a former Ukrainian president who represented the Kiev government, the Russian ambassador and an OSCE envoy.
He rejected the EU leaders' demand to retreat from three checkpoints on the border with Russia captured by the rebels, but invited OSCE to send its monitors to the border crossings and any other areas in the east.
Borodai also said that the rebels have offered the government that the conflicting parties free all the captives they hold. He demanded that the Ukrainian government pull back its forces as a condition for holding meaningful talks to settle the crisis.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Koval was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying that the situation in the east was largely quiet overnight and there were no casualties among Ukrainian troops despite sporadic shooting. But later on Saturday, Ukrainian military spokesman Olexiy Dmitrashkovskiy said that three Ukrainian soldiers were killed and four others were wounded in a rebel shelling near Slovyansk, a key flashpoint in the insurgency, Interfax reported.
Rebels, in turn, claimed that Ukrainian troops tried to capture one of the checkpoints on the Russian border, which they control, but were rebuffed.
Russian officials said that several Ukrainian shells landed on Russian territory early Saturday, and one shell fragment hit the border checkpoint on the Russian side of the border, but there were no injuries.
The insurgents also descended on a Ukrainian National Guards unit in Donetsk, demanding that the troops leave or join the rebels' ranks. None of the troops voiced a desire to switch sides. There was no fighting there.
As part of his peace plan, Poroshenko this week also submitted a set of constitutional amendments that would give broader powers to the regions and allow local authorities to have more say on such issues as language and culture. In an address to the nation Saturday, he voiced hope that the move would strengthen the country's unity.
Lavrov acknowledged that Russia has some leverage with the rebels, pointing at their move this week to release four observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe after weeks of captivity, but claimed that Moscow's influence is limited.
"There are reasons to believe that they hear us on other aspects of Russian position regarding the crisis in Ukraine, but that doesn't mean that they immediately move to heed our calls," he said. "These people have their own vision, it's their land and they want to be its masters, they want to negotiate with the central government on what terms it can be done."
Four other OSCE observers are still being held, but Borodai promised Friday to free them "in the nearest days."

Leon's to acquire The Brick
Nov 11, 2012, 17:00 ET
Press Conference in downtown Toronto on Monday, November 12, 2012 at 10:00am ET (details below)
TORONTO, Nov. 11, 2012 /CNW/ - Leon's Furniture Limited (TSX: LNF) and The Brick Ltd. (TSX: BRK) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") that provides for the acquisition of The Brick by Leon's by way of plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") for $5.40 per share (the "Share Consideration"). Leon's will also acquire all of the outstanding common share purchase warrants of The Brick for $4.40 per warrant. The total consideration payable to Brick shareholders and warrantholders is approximately $700 million.
The Share Consideration represents a premium of approximately 62% to the 20-day volume weighted average price of The Brick's common shares on the TSX as of November 9, 2012. The warrants, which have an exercise price of $1.00 and expire on May 27, 2014, had a closing price on the TSX of $2.36 on November 9, 2012. The closing price of the Brick shares on the TSX on November 9, 2012 was $3.50.
Leon's and The Brick will continue to operate as separate banners out of offices in Toronto and Edmonton. Terry Leon will remain as CEO of Leon's and will be CEO of the combined entity. Vi Konkle, President and CEO of The Brick, will continue as President of The Brick. Bill Gregson, currently Executive Chairman of the Board of The Brick, has agreed to stay on in an advisory capacity. It is anticipated that Mr. Gregson will join the Leon's Board in due course. Mark J. Leon will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Leon's.
Terry Leon, President and CEO of Leon's, said, "This transaction brings together two great Canadian companies with complementary geographic footprints to strengthen our position in the home furnishings marketplace. We will apply the best practices of both companies to offer even greater value to our customers and create more opportunity for our associates. Our combined team will have access to national buying opportunities in merchandising and marketing, and a national distribution network that will enable us to greatly enhance our online shopping capabilities. We are very excited to build on the relationships we have established over the years with our respective associates, franchises, customers, shareholders, suppliers and the many communities we serve."
Vi Konkle, President and CEO of The Brick, said, "We welcome this opportunity to partner with this iconic corporation. By joining forces, we can strengthen both of our businesses, enhancing everything that has made Leon's and The Brick two of Canada's best-known retailers and preserving The Brick's roots in Edmonton."
Added Mr. Leon: "During these economic times where we have seen multiple American corporations make inroads in our country through acquisitions, it is a pleasure to see two successful Canadian retailers reach such an agreement that will better serve Canadian consumers."
As indicated, under the Arrangement, Leon's will acquire all of the outstanding common shares and common share purchase warrants of The Brick. For each common share held by a Brick shareholder, the shareholder can elect to receive as consideration $5.40 in cash per common share or 0.0054 convertible debentures of Leon's (the "Convertible Debentures"), described below, subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement. For each warrant, the holder of such warrant can elect to receive as consideration $4.40 in cash per warrant or 0.0044 Convertible Debentures per warrant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement.
Each of William Comrie, the founder of The Brick, Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited ("Fairfax"), Chou RRSP Fund, and Bill Gregson, the Executive Chair of The Brick's Board of Directors, who together hold approximately 66.6% of the outstanding common shares and warrants of The Brick, have entered into irrevocable voting support agreements and agreed to vote their common shares in favour of the Arrangement.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013, subject to certain customary conditions, including court approval, relevant regulatory approvals and the absence of any material adverse change with respect to The Brick. The Arrangement will also be subject to (i) the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at a special meeting of Brick shareholders and warrantholders, voting as a single class, to be called to consider the Arrangement, and (ii) the approval of at least a majority of the votes cast by Brick shareholders at such meeting.
Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, there will be no dividends or other distributions declared on Brick Shares pending closing.
Transaction Details
The Brick's Board of Directors, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, and on the recommendation of the Special Committee of The Brick's Board of Directors, has determined that the Arrangement is fair to holders of common shares and warrants, respectively, and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of The Brick and recommends that shareholders and warrantholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.
The Brick's Board of Directors is not making a recommendation as to whether shareholders or warrantholders of The Brick should elect to receive Convertible Debentures as Fairfax, which currently owns approximately 37% of the outstanding common shares of The Brick, has agreed to accept as partial consideration for its shares all Convertible Debentures not otherwise elected to be received by other shareholders or warrantholders of The Brick. The Board of Directors of The Brick has not concluded whether or not the Arrangement is fair to Fairfax, and accordingly it is not recommending whether or not Fairfax should vote in favour of the Arrangement.
Scotia Capital Inc. has provided an opinion to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of The Brick that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to shareholders and warrantholders of The Brick. For the purposes of rendering the opinion, Scotia Capital Inc. has relied on certain assumptions, including the fact that all shareholders and all warrantholders, other than Fairfax, are entitled to receive 100% cash consideration. At the Company's direction, Scotia Capital Inc. has not been asked to offer, nor has it offered, any opinion as to the value of the Convertible Debentures and certain other matters, and it expresses no opinion as to whether or not the Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to Fairfax. Scotia Capital Inc.'s opinion will be included in the Information Circular (as defined below).
The Convertible Debentures will have a 3% coupon and a 10-year term, and will be convertible beginning 90 days prior to the fourth anniversary of their issuance, at a conversion rate based on $12.6379 per Leon's common share. Leon's will have the right to redeem the Convertible Debentures after the fourth anniversary of their issuance, subject to the holder's right to convert rather than have their Convertible Debentures redeemed. A maximum of $100 million of Convertible Debentures will be issued. Leon's has applied to list the Convertible Debentures and the underlying Leon's common shares on the TSX.
The terms and conditions of the Arrangement will be summarized in The Brick's management information and proxy circular, which will be filed and mailed to The Brick's shareholders in late November 2012 (the "Information Circular").
Leon's intends to finance the cash portion of the consideration from existing cash resources and $500 million in committed bank facilities fully-underwritten by CIBC and Desjardins Capital Markets. These committed bank facilities are comprised of a $400 million four-year term credit facility, and a new $100 million revolving credit facility which, if required, will be used to finance the transaction and otherwise will be available for general corporate purposes.
Advisors and Legal Counsel
CIBC World Markets Inc. is acting as financial advisor and McCarthy Tétrault LLP is acting as legal advisor to Leon's. Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP is acting as legal counsel to The Brick and its Board of Directors. Scotia Capital Inc. is acting as financial advisor to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of The Brick. Torys LLP is acting as legal counsel to Fairfax.
Press Conference - November 12, 2012 at 10:00am ET
The CEOs and Board Chairs from both companies will host a joint press conference tomorrow, Monday November 12th, at 10:00am Eastern.

She met her husband, the late Cpl. John "Jack" Priest, at a dance for the 64th Airdrome Squadron in Colchester. As the war was ending, they were married on July 31, 1945 in England. Maisie became another British war bride awaiting the proper paperwork to start life anew in America. She finally received her documentation and traveled with other war brides to America aboard the SS John Ericsson for the nine day trip across the Atlantic.

Find the McDonalds right in front of the University entrance. Facing the entrance to the university, walk down the hill to the right. All the bars are down there. You can't avoid G.I.'s in Hongdae, sorry. But there aren't as many as there used to be. The most popular foreigner hangouts are: Route 66 Stompers Hodge Podge MI I'd personally go to Stompers if you're looking for a fun night and its only your second time in Hongdae. It gets packed by 12:30am and doesn't let up till about 5 or so. Some GI's but mostly teachers, not many korean girls if thats your thing. Usually the white chicks outnumber the korean girls. If you're going to be in the area, I recommend cruising the bars in Shinchon before hand, then hitting Hongdae.

Lakers hit 17 3-pointers, win 122-103 over Denver
Antawn Jamison scored 33 points while leading an outstanding game by the Lakers' reserves, and Dwight Howard had 28 points and 20 rebounds before hitting Los Angeles' 17th 3-pointer in the final seconds of a 122-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night.
Jodie Meeks scored 21 points on seven 3-pointers for the Lakers, who improved to 3-3 under Mike D'Antoni while playing splendidly at the furious tempo favored by their new coach.
The Lakers tied the club record for 3-pointers in a regulation game, getting five from Jamison in the first 30-point game by a Lakers reserve since 1998.
Howard capped it with just the second 3-pointer of his career with 9.8 seconds to play.
Danilo Gallinari scored 19 points for the Nuggets, who lost three times on their three-game trip.
Kobe Bryant had 14 points and eight assists for the Lakers, who had lost three of four after scoring 77 points against Indiana three nights earlier.
Just three days after the Lakers' reserves managed just five points in that ugly loss to the Pacers, they produced 61 points against Denver.
The Lakers' bench has been unimpressive for two straight seasons, but Jamison and Meeks shot exceptionally well against Denver, while Chris Duhon had a strong playmaking game with eight assists and five points.
Jamison, the high-scoring veteran who signed with Los Angeles for a shot at a title, found the shooting stroke he has lacked for much of the season so far, going 13 for 19 and grabbing 12 rebounds. Shaquille O'Neal was the previous Lakers reserve to score more than 30 points in a game.
Meeks was even more accurate, missing just one of his eight 3-point attempts.
Los Angeles led 71-57 at halftime, making 60 percent of its shots in an impressive stretch of offensive basketball. Howard controlled the first quarter with 16 points and five rebounds, playing with obvious motivation, while Meeks put on his shooting clinic in the second quarter, draining his first five 3-point attempts to match his highest-scoring game in his first season with Los Angeles.
The Lakers' lead dwindled to seven points before a 12-2 run, but Jamison and Meeks led a strong fourth quarter while three Lakers starters rested. Jamison hit the Lakers' 16th 3-pointer with 6:51 to play, and the Lakers rolled to the win capped by Howard's improbable 3.
The clubs met for the first time since the Lakers eliminated Denver in the first round of last season's playoffs despite a lively effort by the Nuggets, who fought off elimination twice before Los Angeles won a thrilling Game 7 at home.
The Lakers have changed greatly since that series, with major roster additions and a new coaching staff that likes the same up-tempo style of basketball favored by the Nuggets.
Denver coach George Karl expects the Lakers to be a force in the Western Conference playoff race, saying before the game that he can already see their adjustments to D'Antoni's style.
NOTES: Jamison and Meeks were the first Lakers reserves to score 20 points apiece since Bryant and Nick Van Exel did it in April 1998. ... The Lakers finish their final multigame homestand before Christmas against Orlando on Sunday night. Los Angeles will have played 12 of its first 17 games at Staples Center, plowing through more than a quarter of their entire home schedule in the season's opening five weeks, before playing nine of its next 12 on the road. ... Mark Wahlberg, Jeremy Piven and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea and Chad Smith attended the game.

Cameron Forbe's unflinching Hellfire explores a chapter of WWII history unfamiliar to most Western audiences: the harrowing experiences of thousands of malnourished and war-ravaged Australian prisoners of war at Hellfire Pass who were forced by Japanese soldiers to undertake the Sisyphean task of chipping away at stone to make way for a railroad passageway.
The gravity of the subject matter doesn't encumber the engaging performance of gifted narrator Peter Byrnes, whose energetic and soulful Australian accent adds a sense of authenticity to this stirring, eye-opening pastiche of 50 accounts by those who endured the atrocities at Hellfire.
For months during 1943 there was no night in Hellfire Pass. By the light of flares, carbide lamps and bamboo fires, men near-naked and skeletal cut a passage through stone to make way for a railway. Among these men were some of the 22,000 Australian soldiers taken prisoner by the Japanese during World War II. In camps across Asia and the Pacific, they struggled, died, and survived with a little help from their mates. Their experiences became a defining feature of the war, just as Hellfire Pass was to become a defining symbol of what every prisoner experienced.
Hellfire details the individual stories of those caught up in history: the Hudson bomber pilot attacking the Japanese invasion force on Day One; the prisoner of war who refused to be blindfolded for his execution, and another who coped with misery and death by sketching plumbago flowers; the man the atom bomb didn't kill in Nagasaki and whose homecoming helped change Australia.
Hellfire was researched in Australia, Japan and across South-East Asia. It draws on 50 first-person interviews, ranging from former prisoners to an old Mon villager deep in the Burmese jungle, and from Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew to veterans of the Imperial Japanese Army. The result is a tour de force, a powerful and searing history of the prisoners of the Japanese.

EXCLUSIVE: Harvard Law military recruitment not diminished by Kagan's tenure
Right-wing media figures have perpetuated the falsehood that Elena Kagan banned military recruiters from Harvard Law School during her tenure as dean. Not only did students have access to military recruiters throughout Kagan's tenure, Media Matters for America has learned that military recruitment did not drop as a result of Kagan's actions.
Right-wing media push false claim that Kagan "kick[ed] military recruiters" off campus
As Media Matters has noted, right-wing media figures have stubbornly latched on to the falsehood that Kagan "banned military recruiters" from campus while she was dean of Harvard Law School. Examples include the New York Post, Glenn Reynolds, Sean Hannity, Bill Kristol, Gateway Pundit, and Erick Erickson.
Harvard Law data: Military recruitment not diminished by Kagan's tenure
Harvard students had access to military recruiters during Kagan's entire tenure as dean. Throughout Kagan's tenure as dean, Harvard law students had access to military recruiters -- either through Harvard's Office of Career Services or through the Harvard Law School Veterans Association. Kagan became dean of Harvard Law in June 2003. In accordance with Harvard's pre-existing nondiscrimination policy, she barred the school's Office of Career Services (OCS) from working with military recruiters for the spring 2005 semester after the U.S Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit ruled that law schools could legally do so. During that one semester, students still had access to military recruiters via the Harvard Law School Veterans Association. During the fall 2005 semester, after the Bush administration threatened to revoke Harvard's federal funding, Kagan once again granted military recruiters access to OCS.
Harvard's data shows Kagan's actions did not adversely impact military recruitment. The notion that military recruitment was adversely affected by Kagan's actions is contradicted by data Media Matters obtained from Harvard Law School's public information officer. The prohibition on Harvard Law's OCS working with military recruiters existed during the spring 2005 semester, meaning that it could only have affected the classes of 2005, 2006, and 2007. However, the number of graduates from each of those classes who entered the military was equal to or greater than the number who entered the military from any of Harvard's previous five classes.
Number of Harvard Law School graduates who entered the military, by graduating class:
2000 -- 0
2001 -- 3
2002 -- 2
2003 -- 2
2004 -- 3
2005 -- 5
2006 -- 3
2007 -- 3
2008 -- 2
2009 -- 2
Former Harvard Law School Dean: "[T]he practical effect on recruiting logistics was minimal." In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, former Harvard Law School Dean Robert Clark wrote (emphasis added):
As dean, Ms. Kagan basically followed a strategy toward military recruiting that was already in place. Here, some background may be helpful: Since 1979, the law school has had a policy requiring all employers who wish to use the assistance of the School's Office of Career Services (OCS) to schedule interviews and recruit students to sign a statement that they do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, and so on.
For years, the U.S. military, because of its "don't ask, don't tell" policy, was not able to sign such a statement and so did not use OCS. It did, however, regularly recruit on campus because it was invited to do so by an official student organization, the Harvard Law School Veterans Association.
The symbolic effect of this special treatment of military recruiters was important, but the practical effect on recruiting logistics was minimal.
In November 2004, however, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals found that the Solomon Amendment infringed improperly on law schools' First Amendment freedoms. So Ms. Kagan returned the school to its pre-2002 practice of not allowing the military to use OCS, but allowing them to recruit via the student group.
Yet this reversion only lasted a semester because the Department of Defense again threatened to cut off federal funding to all of Harvard, and because the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Third Circuit's decision. Once again, military recruiters were allowed to use OCS, even as the dean and most of the faculty and student body voiced opposition to "don't ask, don't tell."
