Hello,
I have a problem with a filling process where vessels are filled with a particular volume of liquid based on pulses from a flow meter. It appears that when the pressure drops in the feed line the fill volume also decreases. This occurs especially when a more viscous liquid is being filled. What could be the cause of these fluctuations in fill volume? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
Have you asked the flow meter supplier? There may be limits on its capability to do with both pressure and viscosity.
