Thermal insulation jacket target flowmeter
Product details

Detailed Introduction

1、 Product Overview:
The thermal insulation jacket target flowmeter is a flange connected flowmeter produced by our company for measuring the flow rate of liquids with high viscosity, crystallization, and freezing such as asphalt and condensate. A thermal insulation jacket is installed outside the measuring body to form a heat medium such as steam, which allows the measured liquid to flow normally. By adopting mature and reliable force weighing sensor technology, it can optimize the flow rate and flow rate (or temperature and pressure detection of working conditions) according to the requirements of working conditions, fully reflecting the high-tech nature and cost-effectiveness of today's mechatronics products. A highly reliable and accurate industrial flow measurement and control instrument has been developed using new technologies and modern microelectronic processes for data processing in the instrument system.
2、 Structure and working principle:
1. Structure
The thermal insulation jacket target flowmeter mainly consists of a measuring tube (shell), a new sensor (including flow blocking element), an accumulation display, and an output part. According to different media and working conditions, suitable sensors must be selected. Therefore, providing accurate measurement objects and parameters by users and selecting appropriate sensors by manufacturers are the key to whether the product can measure accurately.
2. Working principle
A target flowmeter is a pressure difference generated when a medium flows through a measuring tube due to its own kinetic energy passing through a blocking element (target flowmeter), and exerts a force on the blocking element. The magnitude of the force is proportional to the square of the medium flow velocity, and its mathematical expression is as follows:
F=CdAρ? V2/2
In the formula: the force acting on the F blocking component (kg)
Cd object drag coefficient
The axial projection area of the measuring tube by the A blocking component (mm2)
Medium density under ρ condition (kg/m3)
The average flow velocity of V medium in the measuring tube (m/s)
The force F received by the blocking element (target) is transmitted to the sensor through a rigidly connected transmission element (measuring rod), and the sensor generates a voltage signal output: V=KF
In the formula: V - voltage output by the sensor (mV), K - proportionality constant, F - force acting on the blocking element (target) (kg),
After pre amplification, AD conversion, and computer processing, this voltage signal can obtain the corresponding instantaneous flow rate and cumulative total amount.
3、 Application scenarios:
The thermal insulation jacket target flowmeter has great application value, especially in difficult flow measurement conditions such as high viscosity, easy blockage, high temperature, high pressure, and strong corrosion, replacing conventional flowmeters and conventional fluid flow measurement.

6、 Installation instructions:
1. Normal temperature, low temperature, and high temperature flow meters are installed horizontally, vertically, or upside down depending on different working conditions (according to the factory calibration sheet);
2. When the working temperature of the medium is above+300 degrees, users should take insulation measures for the flowmeter housing to prevent thermal radiation damage to the meter head (the working temperature of the meter head is -30 to+70 degrees). Similarly, for media with a working temperature below -100 degrees, anti freezing measures should also be taken;
3. To ensure accurate measurement of the flowmeter, it is required to set up front and rear straight pipe sections;
4. To ensure that the flow meter does not affect the system operation during inspection and replacement, bypass valves (3) and shut-off valves (1, 2) should be installed as much as possible;
5. Vertical installation can be used due to process requirements, and the flow direction of the measured medium can be from bottom to top or from top to bottom, but it should be explained to the supplier when ordering;
6. The diameter of the flowmeter should be as similar as possible to the diameter of the connected pipeline to reduce flow interference and measurement errors;
7. The flowmeter housing must be reliably grounded. If there is no grounding condition, it should be explained to the factory.
7、 Installation precautions:
1. There should be a straight pipe section before and after the measuring tube, and the diameter of the straight pipe section should be equal to the diameter of the flow meter measuring tube. If the diameters are different, a reducer should be used to connect them so that the inlet diameter is the same. The length of the upstream straight pipe section of the flowmeter is generally not less than 6-20D, determined according to different types of upstream flow resistance components, and the downstream straight pipe section is not less than 3-4D. Flow meters are usually calibrated in a horizontal position and are usually installed in horizontal pipelines. When they need to be installed in a vertical pipeline, the hanging weight method must be used to calibrate the vertical installation status of the flow meter, and the fluid direction should be from bottom to top.
2. For the convenience of maintenance and to prevent one-way force when the flowmeter is activated, a bypass pipeline is installed in parallel. A discharge pipe is installed downstream of the flowmeter to facilitate instrument cleaning and blowing. It is more necessary for measuring dirty fluids or media that are prone to solidification and crystallization. The target plate and measuring tube (body) should be installed coaxially. According to previous tests on a certain caliber, if the center of the target plate deviates 1mm from the center of the pipeline, it may cause a deviation of 1% to 2% in the flow coefficient. However, if the deviation is 1mm from the center of the pipeline, the impact is not significant;
3. When installing an explosion-proof target flowmeter, attention should be paid to checking whether there are explosion-proof markings and explosion-proof certificates, and whether the explosion-proof equipment is intact.
4. For ********** flow meters, due to their small diameter and relatively heavy weight, additional brackets should be installed to support the flow meters in order to prevent pipeline deformation or vibration during operation. For large-diameter flow meters, there is no need to install additional brackets.
8、 Precautions for use:
1. Before fluid flow, the downstream valve of the flowmeter should be closed and the upstream valve should be opened to allow fluid to enter the flowmeter section. Then slowly open the downstream valve of the flowmeter and close the bypass valve to allow the fluid to slowly increase. Avoid suddenly opening the valve to impact the target plate and damage the instrument.
2. After long-term operation of the flowmeter, in addition to cleaning the scale on the target plate and measuring tube, the hanging weight method should be used to check whether the characteristics of the force converter have changed. The hanging weight method is to apply a weight gravity in the same direction as the flow at the center of the target plate, adjust the instrument, and apply the force corresponding to the upper limit of the flow meter, which is calculated as F1 according to equation (16.6). Other flow points are added with relevant weights, and the output signal of the instrument is read to check the basic error and linearity of each point. The 'hanging weight method' is described in the product manual or other materials provided by the manufacturer, and can also be referred to
3. The force exerted by fluid on the target plate is still different from the force exerted by hanging weight, so hanging weight method cannot completely replace real flow calibration. To achieve high accuracy, necessary real flow calibration is still necessary.
4. When copying or modifying the target plate, attention should be paid to the processing accuracy of the target plate, otherwise it will affect the flow coefficient. Experimental data has shown that for a target flowmeter with a diameter of DN=25mm and a target diameter deviation of 0.03mm, the flow coefficient deviation is 1%. The processing accuracy and surface roughness of the target plate also have an impact on the flow coefficient.
5. When the flowmeter is running, if the output value is found to be shaking and the force conversion system is normal, it may be due to the fluid flowing through the target plate and generating vortex streets downstream, causing the target to vibrate under force. It is related to the flow velocity, physical parameters of the medium (density, viscosity), etc. Damping measures can be taken in the force conversion and electrical signal system to improve it.
