What is a hart in a pressure transmitter?

What is a communication protocol? A communication protocol refers to the specification for data exchange between different devices. In a pressure transmitter, a communication protocol is used to achieve data transmission between the transmitter and other devices.

HART is a digital communication protocol used for communication protocols between field intelligent instruments and control room equipment. The HART protocol can establish two-way communication between a 4-20mA sensor and a controller equipped with a two-way HART communication circuit.

Therefore, the pressure sensor can send a digital signal to the controller through the HART protocol. The controller can send commands to the sensor to set and adjust parameters.

The HART communication protocol of the pressure transmitter provides two synchronous communication channels: a 4-20mA analog signal and a digital signal. The 4-20mA signal uses a 4-20mA current loop to transmit the main measurement value.

The HART protocol allows digital information to be transmitted on a 4-20mA transmission loop. Therefore, without adding equipment, the coexistence of digital and analog signals can be achieved.

The HART protocol can simultaneously transmit analog signals and digital signals. Therefore, it is widely used in practical applications.

HART communication uses a digital signal superimposed on the analog signal of the pressure transmitter to transmit other device information of the pressure transmitter.

The digital signal of the pressure transmitter contains information from the device. Including device status, diagnostics, additional measurements or calculated values, etc.

The combination of these two communication channels of the pressure transmitter provides a low-cost, highly reliable, and complete field communication solution for pressure transmitters that is easy to use and configure.

What is a HART transmitter?

HART transmitters are much more complicated.
The HART transmitter has the same pressure input and 4-20 mA output. But it also has an analog current loop output. The device contains some digital variables and settings. Access to these digital parameters requires the use of a HART configurator or communicator. This is essential for maintaining these devices.
Just like Hart Communicator 375.
In fact, many HART devices, cannot be maintained without access to digital parameters.

What is HART calibrator?

HART calibrator is our HART communicator for calibrating instruments. For example pressure transmitter, DP transmitter, liquid level transmitter, flowmeter, and temperature transmitter.
HART communication protocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a hybrid analog + digital industrial automation open protocol.
Its most significant advantage is that it can communicate through the traditional 4–20 mA analog instrument current loop, sharing only a pair of wires used by the analog host system.
We use this protocol in the HART calibrator.

HART communicator (such as HART 475) is the most common HART calibrator.
The proprietary calibration process ensures optimal temperature compensation. This limits the thermal impact on the sensor output.
It is suitable for the global process control industry. It provides a cost-effective solution for the use of conventional HART transmitters (such as the HART 475 field communicator).

How to calibrate a pressure transmitter using Hart?

A pressure transmitter is one of the most common instruments in a process plant. To assure its accuracy, it needs to be calibrated.

But what do you need to calibrate it and how is it done?

You may know how to calibrate a pressure transmitter? Or, how to calibrate a differential pressure transmitter? Then, calibrate HART pressure transmitters, kind of like pressure transmitter calibration using a hart communicator. Pressure transmitter manufacturers have improved accuracy and technology, designed into these smart pressure measurement devices.

To calibrate a pressure transmitter, you need:

loop supply (if not connected to the controls system’s loop supply);
a pressure generator to generate input pressure;
an accurate calibrator to measure the input pressure;
an accurate calibrator to measure the output mA current.

Typically, the pressure transmitter is a HART protocol transmitter. So in case, there is any need to adjust/trim it, you will need to use a device supporting HART communication.

What is diaphragm seal pressure transmitter?

The diaphragm seal pressure transmitter is the flange type pressure transmitter. This type of pressure transmitter, assembling diaphragm seals to field transmitters for the purpose of measuring pressure, differential pressure, level, and flow.

What is a diaphragm seal?

Diaphragm Seals, also known as Chemical Seals or Gauge Isolators, are used to isolate pressure instrumentation, like pressure gauges, pressure transmitters, pressure switches, level transmitters, and more from process media that is hot, corrosive, clogging, or otherwise damaging to the pressure instrument.

A diaphragm seal has two primary tasks:

  1. Separation of the measuring instrument from the process medium
  2. Transfer of the pressure to the measuring instrument

FAQ

A pressure level transmitter is a device that works on the principle that static pressure is proportional to liquid level height. It is essentially a device that combines the functions of a pressure sensor and a level gauge.

The transmitter uses an advanced isolated diffused silicon sensitive element or a ceramic capacitor pressure sensitive sensor. The measured static pressure of the liquid is converted into an electrical signal.

This process is temperature compensated and linearly corrected, and the final output is a standard electrical signal, common forms are 4~20mA or 1~5VDC, etc.

The pressure gauge is an instrument that uses elastic elements as sensitive elements to measure and indicate pressure higher than the ambient pressure. It is used in almost all industrial processes and scientific research fields.

Pressure transmitter is a device that converts pressure into pneumatic or electric signals for control and remote transmission.

The differences between pressure transmitter and pressure gauge are:

  1. The accuracy of the standard instrument required for pressure transmitter calibration is much higher than the accuracy of the standard instrument required for pressure gauge.
  2. The pressure gauge only needs to calibrate a pair of input and output relationships. The pressure transmitter may need to calibrate the relationship between input and communication data.
  3. Pressure gauge calibration must have corresponding metrological qualifications. Pressure transmitters are generally not required except for production and new construction.
  4. The pressure gauge has poor accuracy and no output. It cannot be operated with a hand operator. Generally, 5 points are calibrated. The back and forth difference is different. The intelligent pressure transmitter generally only needs to calibrate the zero point and full scale.
  5. The output of the pressure gauge is a scale indication, and its own display capability. The pressure transmitter is a current output and must be connected to an ammeter display of the corresponding accuracy level.

A diaphragm seal system consists of a pressure instrument, a fill liquid, and a diaphragm seal, either direct-mount or capillary.

Diaphragm seals are used to seal and protect instruments from process media. The flexibility of the seal lies in the fact that the diaphragm securely seals the contents and penetrates the instrument to accurately measure pressure.

Diaphragm seals are often used in conjunction with pressure transmitters. This combination can be used in extremely harsh environmental conditions.

The fact that they can isolate instruments from any kind of toxic and reactive chemicals makes them particularly useful devices.

Diaphragm-sealed pressure transmitters are used when the medium is corrosive or will corrode the internal parts of the transmitter (for example, ammonia will corrode the copper in the transmitter).

The Flange Mounted Differential Pressure Transmitter is directly mounted on the reserved flange at the bottom of the pipeline or container. It contacts the liquid through the isolation diaphragm.

When the diaphragm is pressurized, it will produce a slight deformation. The displacement of the diaphragm will move with the change of the differential pressure. This change is accurately converted into a 4-20mA DC two-wire current, voltage or digital HART output signal by the amplifier circuit to achieve pressure measurement and transmission.

Single flange. VS. Double flanges differential pressure level transmitter

  1. In principle: all are differential pressure transmitters + flange guide pressure;
  2. In terms of structure: the single flange liquid zd position transmitter has only one flange diaphragm box connected to the high pressure side, and the low pressure side to the atmosphere. The double flange liquid level transmitter is high and low pressure side through oil-filled capillary It is connected with two flanged membrane return boxes. There is also a capillary. The single flange transmitter is installed below, and a capillary is drawn from the low pressure side of the single flange transmitter to the upper flange membrane box.
  3. In terms of engineering applications: all can only measure the liquid level of fixed density. The single-flange transmitter can only be used for the liquid level of atmospheric equipment that can be imagined with the atmosphere. The double-flange transmitter can be suitable. Answer: Use closed equipment kettle to measure liquid level;
  4. From the economical point of view, the double flange is definitely more expensive than the single flange. After all, there is one more flange capsule and capillary.

How to choose flange type level transmitter?

Flange-level transmitters often require special environmental processing during production. Requires small range and high accuracy. Flange-level transmitters are also required to withstand high temperatures, corrosion resistance, and high overload withstand capability. Therefore, the scope of application must be clearly defined when selecting the flange type liquid level transmitter.

When choosing a flange-type liquid level transmitter, the following factors are mainly considered:

  1. The measurement object, such as the physical and chemical properties of the measured medium. And working pressure and temperature, installation conditions, speed of liquid level change, etc .;
  2. Measurement and control requirements. Such as measurement range, measurement accuracy, and display method. On-site instructions, long-distance instructions, interface with computer, safety and anti-corrosion. Reliability and construction convenience.

When selecting a double-flange differential pressure transmitter, a very important factor must be paid attention to is the differential pressure level transmitter. It is installed at the bottom of the liquid container. The height of the liquid level is reflected by the gauge pressure signal. In the control process of liquid level measurement in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The container holding the liquid is often under pressure. At this time, the conventional static pressure liquid level transmitter cannot meet the measurement requirements. Due to improvements in the sensor circuit and structure. Improve the practical value of differential pressure liquid level measurement technology in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Working principle of Smart differential pressure transmitter

SMT3151DP intelligent differential pressure transmitter uses advanced microprocessor technology and digital communication technology.

The basic principle of differential pressure transmitter is: to divide a space with sensitive elements (multi-purpose capsule) into two chambers. Introduce pressure into the two chambers separately.

The sensor produces displacement (or displacement trend) under the combined action of the two pressures. This displacement is proportional to the pressure difference (differential pressure) between the two chambers. Convert this displacement into a standard signal output that can reflect the magnitude of the differential pressure.

Gauge pressure refers to the pressure that is less than or greater than atmospheric pressure based on the atmosphere. Absolute pressure refers to the absolute zero pressure as the reference and is higher than the absolute pressure. Differential pressure refers to the difference between two pressures.

According to the working principle of the pressure transmitter:

  • Strain Gauge Pressure Transducers
  • Capacitance Pressure Transducers
  • Potentiometric Pressure Transducers
  • Resonant Wire Pressure Transducers

Extended reading: Silicon Pressure Sensor

Simply put, a differential pressure transmitter is a device that measures two opposing pressures in a pipe or vessel. Differential Pressure (DP) transmitters measure the difference between two pressures. They use a reference point called the low-side pressure and compare it to the high-side pressure. Ports in the instrument are marked high-side and low-side. The DP reading can be either negative or positive depending on whether the low-side or high-side is the larger value. A DP transmitter can be used as a gauge pressure transmitter if the low-side is left open to the atmosphere.

The most common and useful industrial pressure measuring instrument is the differential pressure transmitter. This equipment will sense the difference in pressure between two ports and produce an output signal with reference to a calibrated pressure range.

The differential pressure transmitter can be used in combination with other accessories and can be used to measure liquid level and flow.

Differential pressure transmitters and pressure transmitters have many similarities. It can be mixed and used most of the time. As long as it is within the range of the differential pressure transmitter, it can measure not only positive pressure but also negative pressure. When measuring positive pressure, the negative port is open to atmosphere, and when measuring negative pressure, the positive port is open to atmosphere.

Differential pressure transmitters can also measure flow, pipeline pressure difference, tank liquid level, bubble water level, dust, or medium that is easy to crystallize and viscous and fluidity is not good.

Differential pressure type level transmitter working principle

The differential pressure level transmitter is an instrument that uses the pressure generated by the liquid column to measure the height of the liquid level. When the liquid level changes, the pressure received by the diaphragm at the high-pressure side flange will change accordingly. The differential pressure value calculated by the transmitter will also change accordingly. There is a linear relationship between them.

Normally, the high-pressure side (H side) and the low-pressure side (L side) cannot be installed reversely. Generally, the H side is installed at the lower part of the equipment, and the L side is installed at the higher part of the equipment. Before installation, the flange surface of the equipment should be cleaned and the gasket should not be placed off-center to prevent the diaphragm from being punctured or deformed, causing distortion of the transmitter.

SMT 3151 Differential Pressure Level Measurement

Differential pressure transmitter level measurement calculation

When using a Differential pressure (DP) level transmitter to measure the liquid level as shown in the figure below.

The measured liquid density in the figure is ρ.
The working medium density in the capillary of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is ρ0.
The measuring range of the measured liquid level is H.
The center distance of the sampling tube of the measured liquid level is h.

It can be seen from the figure that the maximum measurement range of the liquid level △ P = P + — P- = H × ρ × g – h × ρ0 × g.

It can be seen from the formula that the dual-flange differential pressure transmitter should perform negative migration. The migration amount S is h × ρ0 × g. And the installation position of the double flange differential pressure transmitter has no effect on the migration amount and the measurement result.

The dual-flange differential pressure transmitter requires negative migration.

When the measured liquid level is 0, the pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the remote differential pressure transmitter is the largest. The output current of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is 4mA.

As the measured liquid level rises, the pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the transmitter gradually decreases.

When the measured liquid level rises to the highest Hmax. The pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the transmitter is the smallest. The output current of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is 20mA.

DP level transmitter calibration

The differential pressure liquid level transmitter has been calibrated in the range, accuracy, linearity and other parameters according to customer requirements at the factory. And mark the range, accuracy, etc. on the nameplate of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. As long as the density and other parameters of the measured medium meet the requirements of the nameplate, generally no adjustment is required.

If the customer needs to adjust the range or zero position, please adjust according to the following methods. Assuming that the range of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter is 0 ~ 10 meters:

  1. Unscrew the protective cover of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. It can be adjusted by connecting an external standard 24VDC power supply and ammeter (requires accuracy of 0.2% or above).
  2. When there is no liquid in the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. Adjust the zero potentiometers. Make it output a current of 4mA.
  3. Pressurize the differential pressure liquid level transmitter to full scale (10 meters). Adjust the full-scale resistor. Make it output a current of 20mA.
  4. Repeat the above steps two or three times until the signal is normal.
  5. Please input 25%, 50%, and 75% signals to check the error of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter.
  6. For non-aqueous media. Differential pressure level transmitters are calibrated with water. It should be converted according to the pressure generated by the actual density of the medium. For example, when the medium density is 1.3, the 1.3m water level should be used to calibrate the 1m range.
  7. After adjustment, tighten the protective cover.
  8. The verification cycle of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter is once a year.
  9. HART intelligent differential pressure liquid level transmitter of Sino-Inst instrument can be selected. It is convenient to adjust the range of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter.

Industrial Magmeter Flow Meters

What is a Magmeter Flow Meter?

Choose the Suitable Magmeter Flow Meters

Advantages of Magmeter Flow Meters

  • Suitable for measuring two-phase flow containing suspended matter, solid particles, fibers, etc. Such as mud, sewage, ore pulp, pulp, and other viscous slurries.
  • It uses four electrodes and a built-in grounding electrode. It is used for non-conductive pipes without the need for additional electrical rings.
  • It also has 420mA current signal output, pulse output, and instantaneous flow upper and lower limit alarm outputs. RS485 communication and HART protocol are also available.

  • The power supply mode can be selected from AC85V~AC220V or DC24V.
  • Daily reports, monthly reports, annual reports, power failures, and other functions can be queried with one click.
More Flow Meters

First, let us look at the structure of the magmeter.

The structure of electromagnetic flowmeter is mainly composed of magnetic circuit system, measuring catheter, electrode, shell, lining and converter.

The electromagnetic flowmeter is made according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. It is used to measure the volume flow of conductive liquid.

Faraday’s law of induction (referring to the induction of an electric potential inside the conductor when the conductor passes through a magnetic field) is the basic principle of electromagnetic flowmeter measurement.

This measurement principle can be applied to conductive fluids.

The fluid flows into a pipe whose magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, and the electric potential induced in the fluid can be measured using two symmetrically arranged electrodes.

The signal voltage UE is proportional to the magnetic induction intensity B, the electrode spacing D and the average fluid velocity v.

Because the magnetic induction intensity B and the electrode spacing D are constant. Therefore, the signal voltage UE is proportional to the average flow velocity v.

The equation used to calculate the volume flow rate shows that the signal voltage UE is linearly proportional to the volume flow rate.

The sensed signal voltage is converted into the graduation in the converter, analog and digital output signals.

Magmeter flowmeters measure the velocity of conductive liquids (such as water, acid, caustic and slurry) in the pipeline. When measuring deionized water, the minimum conductivity of the medium is 20uS/cm. For most liquids, the minimum conductivity required for measurement can be 5uS/cm.

Magmeter is mainly used in the following areas:

  • Measure clean water, sewage, domestic water, raw water;
  • Various acid, alkali, salt and other solutions;
  • Mud, mineral pulp, paper pulp, and food liquids, etc.;
  • It is widely used in metallurgy, papermaking, water treatment, chemical industry, light industry, textile, food and beverage, catering, agricultural irrigation, hydropower station, oil production, electric power and mining industries.

Extended Reading: Guide: Magnetic Flowmeter Installation

Magmeter liner selection should be selected according to the corrosiveness, abrasiveness and temperature of the measured medium.

  • Hard/soft rubber is resistant to general weak acid and alkali corrosion. Temperature resistance is 65℃. Soft rubber has abrasion resistance.
  • Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is almost resistant to strong acid and alkali corrosion except hot phosphoric acid. The temperature of the medium can reach 130℃. But it is not resistant to wear.
  • Polyurethane rubber has good wear resistance. But it is not resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. Temperature resistance is also poor. The medium temperature is less than 65°C.

1.Environmental conditions:

Magmeter flowmeter, especially the flowmeter with intelligent LCD screen. The installation position should avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. The ambient temperature should be between 5℃~55℃.

2.Avoid strong interference sources

Choose a place where there is no strong electromagnetic field radiation to install the flowmeter.

Avoid devices that can easily cause electromagnetic interference, such as motors, transformers, and frequency converters.

The measurement principle of the flowmeter is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, the original
The initial signal is very weak, less than millivolt.

If there is strong electromagnetic field radiation near the flowmeter, it will affect the accuracy of the measurement and even fail to work normally.

3.Magmeter straight run

Pay attention to avoid eddy current generating parts as much as possible. Such as various valves, elbows, bypasses, etc.

Try to extend the straight pipe section upstream and downstream of the flowmeter. Install a rectifier tube if necessary.

Ensure that the upstream straight pipe section of the flowmeter must be at least 5 DN (measurement pipe diameter). The downstream is guaranteed to be more than 2 DN.

4.The conductivity of the liquid must be uniform and stable

Do not install the flowmeter in a place where the conductivity of the fluid to be measured is extremely uneven.
If different media are injected upstream, the conductivity will be uneven and will affect the measurement.

In this case, it is recommended to move the injection port downstream.

If it must be injected from upstream, it should be as far away from the flowmeter as possible. Generally, it is better to keep a distance of more than 20 DN. To ensure that the liquid is fully mixed and uniform.

5.Keep the electrode axis level

The plane of the intermittent measuring electrode must be kept level. This prevents short-term insulation between the two electrodes due to air bubbles.

6.Magmeter grounding rings

Since the induction signal of the electromagnetic flowmeter is very weak, it is susceptible to noise. Therefore, the reference potential of the sensor and the converter must be the same as the measured liquid, and be grounded together.

The purpose of installing grounding rings or grounding electrodes on both sides of the electromagnetic flowmeter is to establish the equipotentiality between the flowmeter casing and the liquid.

Ordinary metal pipe (generally no need to install grounding ring)

When the pipeline itself is well grounded, the grounding wire can be omitted, but the casing must be connected to the liquid through the grounding wire equipped with the flowmeter.

Insulated pipes (plastic pipes, rubber-lined pipes, etc.)

A grounding ring (or grounding electrode) should be installed at both ends of the sensor and the measured medium should be short-circuited with the earth through the grounding wire.

Cathodic protection pipeline

The pipe flanges are connected by copper wires, but they must be insulated from the grounding wire.

Magnetic flowmeter is a widely used flow measuring instrument. How should we calibrate it?

Let’s take a look at the calibration method of electromagnetic flowmeter:

  1. Determine the corresponding water pump according to the pipe diameter and flow rate of the verification test;
  2. After the flowmeter is correctly installed and connected, it should be energized and preheated for about 30 minutes in accordance with the requirements of the verification regulations;
  3. If the high-level tank water source is used, check whether the overflow signal of the stabilized water tower appears. Before the formal test, use the verification medium to circulate in the pipeline system for a certain period of time. At the same time, check whether there is any leakage in the sealing parts of the pipeline;
  4. The verification medium should be filled with the electromagnetic flowmeter sensor before the formal verification. Then the downstream valve should be closed to adjust the zero position;
  5. At the beginning of the verification, open the valve at the front of the pipeline and slowly open the valve behind the electromagnetic flowmeter to adjust the flow at the verification point.
  6. During the calibration process, the flow stability of each flow point should be within 1% to 2%-flow method. The total amount law can be within 5%.
    • The temperature change of the verification medium should not exceed 1℃ when the verification process of a flow point is completed. It should not exceed 5℃ when the entire verification process is completed.
    • There must be a sufficiently high pressure downstream of the electromagnetic flowmeter to be checked to ensure that no flashing and cavitation occur in the flow pipeline;
  7. After the test, close the valve at the front end of the test pipeline. Then stop the pump to avoid emptying the voltage stabilization facility. At the same time, the remaining verification medium in the test pipeline must be vented and the control system and the air compressor must be closed.

All electromagnetic flowmeters need to be calibrated when they leave the factory. Each finished product needs to pass the calibration line inspection before leaving the factory.

It is to install the product on the assembly line. The front end adopts a strictly debugged standard table. A series of coefficients such as the diameter of the flowmeter, the damping coefficient, and the sensor coefficient of the electromagnetic flowmeter are set at the back end. To achieve the same flow rate as the standard meter.

If calibration is done on-site, it may generally be used to calibrate outside the sealed pipeline. Such as portable ultrasonic flowmeter. But the accuracy is generally 0.5. If you just check it, you can use a portable ultrasonic flowmeter.

Ultrasonic flow meters and electromagnetic flow meters have different measurement principles.

Electromagnetic flowmeter must measure conductive liquid. The ultrasonic flowmeter can measure pure single-phase liquid. It has nothing to do with the conductivity of the liquid.

The electromagnetic flowmeter must be in contact with the medium to measure. The ultrasonic flowmeter can do contact and non-contact measurement.

The electromagnetic flowmeter is a flow measuring instrument. The measuring principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter is measured according to its principle of conduction. Most of the flow measurement on the market is solved by electromagnetic flowmeters.

The electromagnetic flowmeter is a pure liquid volume measurement instrument.

The mass flow meter is a function of fluid volume and fluid temperature and pressure. Is a dependent variable. The quality of a fluid is a quantity that does not change with time, space temperature, and pressure.

Mass flow meters are compared with electromagnetic flow meters. It can measure non-conductive media. This is one of the biggest differences. In addition, the accuracy of the mass flow meter is higher. The cost is large, and there are fewer applications in the market.

There is a big difference in the performance of general-purpose electromagnetic flowmeters on the market. Some have high precision and many functions. Some have low precision and simple functions.

The basic error of the instrument with high accuracy is (±0.5%~±1%)R.
The instrument with low accuracy is (±1.5%~±2.5%)FS.
The price difference between the two is 1 to 2 times.

More Details About Turbine Flow Meter

A turbine flow meter is a type of flow meter that works by measuring the velocity of a fluid or gas as it passes through a turbine rotor. Turbine flow meters are commonly used to measure the flow of liquids and gases in a wide range of applications. They offer a high level of accuracy, especially in high flow rate applications, and can be used for both clean and dirty fluids. Turbine flow meters are also relatively easy to install and maintain, making them a popular choice in many industries.

Turbine flowmeter is composed of turbine, bearing, preamplifier and display instrument.

The principle of the turbine flowmeter is to place a turbine in the center of the pipeline, and the two ends are supported by bearings. As the fluid passes through the pipes, it strikes the turbine blades. Drive torque to the turbine. Make the turbine rotate by overcoming the friction torque and fluid resistance torque.

In a certain flow range, for a certain fluid medium viscosity, the rotational angular velocity of the turbine is proportional to the fluid velocity. Thus, the fluid flow rate can be obtained from the rotational angular velocity of the turbine, so that the fluid flow through the pipeline can be calculated.

The fluid to be measured impacts the turbine blades, causing the turbine to rotate, and the rotation speed of the turbine changes with the change of the flow rate. That is, the flow rate is large, and the speed of the turbine is also large. Then the rotation speed of the turbine is converted into electric pulses of corresponding frequency by the magnetoelectric conversion device. After being amplified by the preamplifier, it is sent to the display instrument for counting and display. According to the pulse number and cumulative pulse number per unit time, the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow can be calculated.

Turbine flow meters offer a number of advantages over other types of flow meters. Here are some of the key benefits of using turbine flow meters:

  • High accuracy: Turbine flow meters offer a high level of accuracy, especially in high flow rate applications. They have an accuracy of ±0.5% to ±1.0% of reading.
  • Wide flow range: Turbine flow meters have a wide flow range capability. They can measure flow rates from as low as 0.1 GPM (gallons per minute) to as high as 10,000 GPM, depending on the model and size.
  • Quick response time: Turbine flow meters have a fast dynamic response time, which means that they can measure changes in flow rate quickly.
  • Easy to install and maintain: Turbine flow meters are relatively easy to install and maintain. They don’t require a lot of space, and they don’t need a lot of external piping or support.
  • Versatile: Turbine flow meters can be used to measure the flow of a wide range of fluids and gases. Including hydrocarbons, chemicals, water, cryogenic liquids, air, natural gas, and industrial gases.
  • Customizable: Turbine flow meters can be customized to meet specific flow application requirements. Custom features may include: high temperature, extremely low temperature (-196 degrees Celsius), ultra-high pressure, extremely small diameter (DN4, DN6), etc.

Overall, turbine flow meters are a reliable and cost-effective method for achieving high accuracy flow measurement.

No, a rotary meter is a different type of flow meter than a turbine meter. While both are used to measure the flow of liquids or gases, they operate on different principles and have distinct designs.

A rotary meter, also known as a positive displacement meter, works by dividing the fluid or gas being measured into specific volumes and then counting the number of volumes that pass through the meter.

In contrast, a turbine flow meter works by measuring the velocity of the fluid or gas as it passes through a turbine rotor. The rotor spins at a speed proportional to the flow rate, and this motion generates an electrical signal that can be used to measure the flow rate.

While both types of flow meters are used for measuring the flow of liquids or gases, they are different in their operation and design.
