FAQ flowmeters or design of differential pressure flowmeters

What kind of fluid can be measured with the meters PD?

Liquids, gases and steam.

What is the minimum design flow?

At 100% of rate (full scale value), the calculated differential pressure should be greater than 1 mbar. There are also limitations imposed by the Reynolds number. To tap flange, the minimum is 8,000 Re to take angular pitch is 5,000 and for shooting pipe is 14,000. Some designs achieve even lower values, such as segmental orifice plates and quarter-circle. The Reynolds number is 20,000 Venturi tubes, Pitot tube is 10,000, and nozzles, 80,000. A minimum flow should be achieved at least a differential pressure of 0.5 mbar, otherwise, bias errors, installation factors, and so on., Could acquire considerable influence.

What is the maximum design flow?

The upper limit is determined by the Reynolds number. The accepted standard establishes the upper Kmita for different models, for example, 2 x 106 for Venturi tubes, orifice plates 108 for and 107 for jets. The software "

What components form a complete measurement system?

A complete measuring point located near a step reducing element consists of the following components: the parent, shutoff valves, capillaries, a manifold and a differential pressure transmitter. The configuration of a steam line also includes cameras (or pots) of condensation.

Where the transmitters should be installed differential depression?

The differential pressure transmitter must always be installed in a position to which the hair always dry or always detect the presence of liquid, depending on the type of application (see Figures of the previous article).

What if there are strong vibrations?

The vibrations of the pipe do not affect the pitot gauges or the orifice plate for electrical signal lines and the piping system transmitter systems are decoupled.

How do temperature and pressure measurements?

In general, the effects are negligible in the case of liquids, but cease to be if the pressure and temperature cause a change in fluid density. The density of gases and vapors is a property that changes with temperature. However, with a computer can compensate for temperature effects. It is also important to consider the composition of the gas, if the fluid being measured is a mixture.

How do sediments and damage to the orifice plates and venturi tubes and nozzles?

Can cause erroneously measured values ​​high or low. The edges of an orifice disk have to be sharp, and the surface roughness in the tubes and Venturi nozzles constant (as required by ISO 5167).

How does a pulsating flow differential pressure gauges?

The flow pulsations can lead to erroneously high measured values ​​in all gauges. The actual measurement error depends on the amplitude and frequency of the pulses. By increasing these, the measurement values ​​obtained are too high. This is due to the nonlinear relationship between flow and differential pressure created by the flow (Bernoulli equation). If the flow is pulsating, reduce the amplitude of the pulsations with long hair attenuators or near the point of measurement.
