Flowmeter caliber and determine can be useful for flow range
(one)gas, liquid
Vortex flowmeter high limit flow general can not be affected by medium pressure, temperature and etc, low limit flow depends on the operation condition of the medium density and viscosity. Therefore, determine the flow range is actually determine actual usable the low limit of flow. The best working flow in sensor range 1/2- 2/3 places.
Step one: according to the practical use the flow and check out the table 3 preliminary ensure flowmeter caliber. Commonly used in flow should select the high limit 50% ~ 70%. Pay attention to the gas is to point to working condition flow , such as for standard condition flow please use formula (3) will be converted to the working condition flow.
In formula
Q—working condition flow
QN—standard condition flow
PN---standard atmospheric pressure(0.101325MPa)
P---- Under the working condition of medium absolute pressure(the pressure of meter + atmospheric pressure)
T------ Under the working condition of medium absolute temperature[(273.15+t)K]
t------- Under the working condition of medium temperature(°C)
Tn-----Standard absolute temperature(273.15 K)
Step 2 according to the formula (4) calculate by working condition density of medium decision the low limit of flow QPu
In formula
Qp-----Under working condition density ,the medium low limit of flow.
Q0----the list of water or air low limit of flow (Liquid check water, gas check air)
P0----reference the medium of density, water 1000kg/m3 air 1.205 kg/m3
p----- Measured the medium of working condition density(kg/m3)
When the medium of density is bigger, the medium low limit of flow is lower
Step 3 according to the formula (5) calculate by working condition kinematic viscosity of medium decision the low limit of flow Qv
In formula
Qv---- Under working condition kinematic viscosity,the medium low limit of flow.
Q0----the list of water or air low limit of flow (Liquid check water, gas check air)
v----- Measured the working condition kinematic viscosity of medium
V0----reference the medium of kinematic viscosity ,water:1x10-6m2/s, air 15x10-6m2/s,
Kinematic viscosity and dynamic viscosity the conversion formula is as follows
In formula
V---- Kinematic viscosity(m2/s)
n----dynamic viscosity [kg/(m.s)]
p--- density(kg/m3)
When the kinematic viscosity of medium is less, be measured low limit of flow is lower
Compare Qp and Qv, ensure available low limit of flow and linear low limit of flow
Qp <Qv, the measuring range of flow is Qp~Qmax,linear range of flow is Qp~Qmax
Qp ≥Qv,the measuring range of flow and linear range of flow are Qp~Qmax
Qmax is point to the provisions in table 3 of the high limit of flow. Liquid maximum velocity should be less than 10 m/s, gas maximum velocity should be less than 70 m/s. High viscosity liquid of linear low limit flow were much higher than water, such as requirement of the low limit flow is lower, then not suitable for vortex flowmeter use.
(Two)steam
When the user measurement medium is steam, commonly used mass flow measurement unit, such as t/h or kg/h, etc. Because of the steam in different of temperature and pressure ,the density is different, so the steam flow range can be calculated by formula (7)
Step 1 From the table 3 found air flow range of corresponding caliber flowmeter
Step 2 according to the steam pressure and temperature parameters, check the pertinent data get the density of steam.
Step 3 the formula (7) calculation the low limit flow of flowmeter
In formula
Q,p—Measured flow and density of steam
Q0,P0—Reference the flow and density of air(1.205kg/m3)
Step4. Confirm the high limit flow, the high limit flow velocity of steam should be less than 70m/s
Users also can check the table 4 and get the flow range of different carliber flowmeter measurement of saturated steam, or put the superheated steam density into the table 5 and calculate the flow range of different caliber flowmeter has been measured steam
When measuring the quality flow of steam, the quality flow measurement system is composed of sensor with the measuring temperature and measuring pressure element . Measuring saturated steam should add platinum resistance or pressure transmitter; Measuring the superheated steam should simultaneously add platinum resistance and pressure transmitter.
