Flow and Process Monitors
Accurate flow data is critical for efficient operations, and iCenta Controls delivers solutions that make measurement and monitoring simple and reliable. Our flow and process monitors track liquids and gases signal from flow and process sensors and instruments in real time, providing precise accurate measurements. Designed for a wide variety of industries and applications from water treatment to chemical processing and HVAC, these solutions offer durable owered and battery powered display requiring low maintenance, and consistent performance you can depend on.
What are Flow and Process Monitors?
They are devices that measure, track, display, control and report the movement and behaviour of fluids. Our flow and process monitors specialise in real-time indication, providing clear information to the user that help control process conditions and provide continuous or alarm output signals to central process systems, detecting faults or anomalies so they can be addressed promptly.
Key functions include measuring flow rates, totalling volumes, controlling batches identifying process changes, and delivering reliable output signals. Common applications include water treatment plants, HVAC systems, chemical processing, energy management, and compressed air systems food beverage and pharmaceutical production facilities
How Do They Work?
Flow and process monitors work by reading the meter or sensor output signals and converting these signals into a flow rate, totalised volume, or process parameter reading. Different sensing technologies are used depending on the application – such as ultrasonic, electromagnetic, thermal mass, or mechanical principles as well as level sensors pressure and temperature transmitters, speed (RPM) and a wide variety of process sensors, with analogue 4-20mA & voltage outputs.
The resulting signal is then processed and displayed by the monitor. Despite differences in technology, the core principle is the same: they detect fluid movement or process conditions and translate them into accurate, real-time data.

In What Industries Can They Used?
Flow and process monitors are used across a wide range of industries. In energy, oil and gas wastewater and water treatment plants, they help manage water flow rates, detect leaks, and control chemical dosing. In energy and utilities, they track fuel, steam, and cooling water to optimise energy usage. Chemical and process industries rely on flow and process monitors to manage flow rates of liquids and gases throughout complex processes.
In HVAC systems, they track chilled or hot water circulation to maintain efficient climate control. They are also widely used by industrial manufacturers to measure and control fluid movement on production lines and machinery, as well as in compressed air systems to monitor air consumption and detect leaks.
