High Pressure Rotameter

The working principle of High Pressure Rotameter:

The high-pressure metal tube rotameter is the force that the upper and lower ends of the float generate differential pressure to form a rising force when the measured medium passes through the conical measuring tube from bottom to top.

When the lifting force on the float is greater than the weight of the float immersed in the fluid, the float will rise. The area of ​​the annulus will increase accordingly. The fluid velocity at the annulus will drop immediately. The differential pressure at the upper and lower ends of the float will decrease. The float is stabilized at a certain height until the lift force is equal to the weight of the float immersed in the fluid.

The height of the float position corresponds to the flow rate of the measured medium.

The float has a built-in magnet. When the float moves up and down with the medium, the magnetic field changes with the movement of the float.

a. For the local type, the rotating magnet in the local indicator is coupled with the magnetic steel in the float to rotate. At the same time, the pointer is driven to indicate the flow rate at this time through the dial.

b. For the intelligent type, the change of the magnetic field is converted into an electrical signal by a solid-state magnetic sensor in the intelligent indicator. After A/D conversion, microprocessor. D/A output, LCD liquid crystal display, to display the flow rate size and cumulative flow.

What Is Difference Between Rotameter and Flow Meter?

A rotameter is a device that measures the flow rate of liquid or gas in a closed system. It consists of a float that moves up and down in a tube, based on the fluid’s flow rate. The faster the fluid flows, the higher the float rises.

A flowmeter is a device that measures the volume of liquid or gas that flows through it. There are many different types of flowmeters, each designed to measure different types of fluids. For example, positive displacement flowmeters measure the volume of fluid that passes through them, while rotameters measure the rate of flow.

Mechanical Diesel Flow Meter Working Principle

Oval gear flow meters are our most commonly used Mechanical Diesel Flow Meters.

The oval gear flowmeter is composed of a metering box and a pair of elliptical gears installed in the metering box, and the upper and lower cover plates form a sealed crescent-shaped cavity (due to the rotation of the gear, it is not sealed) as the calculation unit of a displacement .

The flow meter is mainly composed of a housing, a counter, an elliptical gear, and a coupling (magnetic coupling and axial coupling), etc. As shown in the figure.

1.Counter 2. Transmitter

3. Accuracy adjuster (used above DN50)

4. Sealed coupling

5. Front cover 6. Cover plate

7. Oval gear 8. Shell

9. Rear cover

When the measured liquid enters the flowmeter through the pipeline, the pressure difference generated at the inlet and outlet pushes a pair of gears to continuously rotate, and the liquid measured by the crescent-shaped cavity is continuously transported to the outlet. The product of four times the secondary displacement is the total amount of the measured liquid flow.

The elliptical gear generates a torque to make it rotate under the action of the pressure difference △p of the measured medium.

The rotor 1 and the rotor 2 are alternately driven by one to rotate the other. There are two magnets on each rotor as signal generating elements. There is a magnetic signal detecting element at the center of the two axes at the bottom of the cavity. Whenever the magnet turns to the detecting element, the sensor counts as a pulse.

Each pulse corresponds to a certain amount of medium discharge F, F=XXml/p, so the volume flow Qm per unit time can be obtained: Qm=F*H, F is the amount of medium removed by each pulse; H pulse per unit time number.

Extended Reading: Mechanical flow meter for diesel

Take an oval gear flowmeter as an example. Under the action of fluid flow, a pressure difference is formed between the inlet and outlet of the instrument. A pair of oval gears are constantly rotating on the shaft. The cavity between its gears is filled with liquid.

As the rotation is discharged, the flow rate of the liquid flowing through the meter can be known by measuring the number of revolutions of the oval gear.
Assume that the volume of the oval gear discharged by one rotation of the oval gear is Q. The number of rotations of the oval gear per unit time is N. Then the volume of liquid that flows during this time is NQ.

If we choose an oval gear flowmeter made of stainless steel, it can also be applied to the measurement of many chemical liquids.

Commonly used fuel flowmeters include turbine flowmeters, circular gear flowmeters, oval gear flowmeters, mass flowmeters, etc.

Crude Oil Measurement, 80G Radar Level Meter Should Be Your First Choice!

Crude oil measurement is important to the petrochemical industry. To control costs and improve efficiency. Effective crude oil level measurement regulation has become a challenge for many plants.

If you’re looking for a reliable and accurate way to measure the level of crude oil, the 80G radar level meter is the perfect choice. With its ability to handle various types of liquids and vapors, this meter is ideal for use in oil refineries and other industrial applications. The 80G radar level meter also offers a wide range of features and options, making it the perfect choice for Crude oil measurement application.

Why is crude oil level measurement challenging?

What everyone thinks must be the characteristics of the medium of crude oil.

Crude oil, usually referred to as unprocessed petroleum, is a viscous liquid. When the temperature is between minus 50 ℃ and 35 ℃ above zero, solidification will occur, changing from a liquid shape to a solid shape.

From this information, crude oil is viscous and tends to solidify when the temperature drops to the freezing point. Therefore, in order to ensure that the crude oil is always in a liquid state, the storage tank for storing the crude oil may be accompanied by a heating device. This is one of the working conditions.

Of course, there are many factors that can affect the accuracy of crude oil measurement, including the type of tank, the temperature and density of the oil, and the presence of water or sediment in the tank. Inaccurate measurements can lead to costly errors in production, transportation and refining operations.

Crude oil is typically stored in large tanks ranging in size from 10,000 to 50,000 barrels (4.5 to 22.5 million liters). These tanks are often located in remote areas, making it difficult to access them for monitoring and inspection. In addition, the oil in the tanks is typically very hot – up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) – and under high pressure. These conditions can make it difficult to get accurate readings of the oil level.

Water and sediment can also accumulate in the bottom of the tank, which can throw off measurements of the oil level. Inaccurate measurement of the crude oil level can lead to over- or under-estimating the amount of oil in a tank, which can have serious consequences for production, transportation and refining operations.

To ensure accurate crude oil measurement, it is important to use a reliable and well-calibrated measuring device. In addition, regular monitoring and inspection of the tank is essential to identify any potential problems that could affect the accuracy of the measurements.

Crude oil measurement – Radar level meter measuring vaulted buffer tank

Distinguished from the shape, Crude oil storage tanks are divided into lying tanks, round tanks, conical tanks, arch-shaped tanks and so on. Distinguished from the use, storage tanks are divided into process tanks and metering tanks.

So, if the radar level meter is used to measure the crude oil in the process, and the crude oil is installed in the vaulted tank. What should you pay attention to Crude oil measurement?

First of all, process tank measurement should pay attention to the selection and installation of radar level meter. The process tank, is not used for direct trading. So the accuracy requirement is not very high. But stability is an aspect that needs attention.

Radar level meter selection, you can consider high-frequency radar level meter. When installing, pay attention to whether there are stirring devices or heating devices in the tank. If there is, pay attention to avoid these obstacles. To avoid causing inaccurate measurement, or even the inability to measure the situation.

From the arch-shaped tank alone, the selection of radar level meter is basically unaffected by the tank, but the installation needs to pay attention to the following. From the arch-shaped tank alone, the radar level meter selection is basically unaffected. But the installation needs to pay attention to the following. Normally, the radar level meter is installed in the vaulted tank. Do not install in the middle of the filling top. To avoid the generation of indirect echoes. Affect the real echo.

Finally, radar level meter to measure crude oil, pay attention to the characteristics of crude oil. Select the appropriate radar level meter model.

According to the information, for a long time in the past, the crude oil vault tank level measurement, are used to manually check the ruler + steel band level meter. As a result, there were often cases of stuck steel belt and stuck shaft.

The result of such a result is inseparable from the characteristics of crude oil. Crude oil has a certain viscosity. If there is a heating device present, there will also be water vapor present. Select radar level meter, as far as possible, choose non-contact radar level meter.

The use of the measured medium is different, the choice of level meter is different. The measured medium used in the tank is different, the choice of level meter is different. The characteristics of the measured medium are different, and the type of level meter is also different.

So no matter what kind of media measurement, we must know the working conditions, know the medium, know the use. This will ensure that the right type, the measurement can be accurate. Liquid level meter to play the maximum role.

Case Study: Automatic Sludge Blanket Level Detector

Sludge Blanket Level Detectors use ultrasonic technology, so they are also known as ultrasonic mud level meters.

Ultrasonic Sludge Blanket Level Detector uses ultrasonic emission with echo analysis of solids suspended in water. The height and thickness of the sludge layer can be accurately measured. Effective grasp of sludge settling characteristics. The control of sludge return flow rate.

Ultrasonic sludge interface meter/mud level meter supports various variable outputs. Such as 4-20mA variable output, relay high and low alarm control output, and RS485 communication output.

Automatic monitoring and control of sludge level can be achieved by setting the Ultrasonic Sludge level sensor.

What is sludge blanket level?

Sludge (sludge) is a solid settling material produced by water and wastewater treatment processes. The sludge blanket level is the interface between the settled sludge and the turbid or clear water phase above. The sludge level can be the distance from the water surface (sludge level depth) or the distance from the bottom of the tank (sludge level height).

Due to the highly variable nature of all types of sludge, classification is essential, and its treatment and disposal are different. According to its origin, it can be classified as

  • Municipal sludge (civil sludge, also called drainage cement sewage sludge,). It mainly refers to sludge from sewage plants, which is the largest category of sludge in terms of quantity. In addition, sludge from waterworks can also be included in this category.
  • Pipe network sludge, sludge from drainage collection systems.
  • River and lake sludge, sludge from rivers and lakes.
  • Industrial sludge, from a mixture of solids and water, oil, chemical pollution, and organic matter produced by various industrial production.

In (waste) water treatment and process control, sludge water level is an important parameter. Especially in the process of phase separation, accurate sludge level information is crucial. Automatic Sludge Blanket Level Detector can be installed in clear, turbid or even heavily contaminated media with high concentration of suspended matter.

The treatment of many wastewater effluents requires the separation of solids and liquids by sedimentation. The sedimentation process is usually done in a settling tank or a special thickening tank. A sludge interface meter is used to monitor the sludge level in the tank and control the discharge cycle of the settling tank or thickening tank. When the sludge interface meter detects that the sludge has reached the design level, it can control the sludge discharge pump for sludge discharge.

Measuring Flow with Pressure Sensors

Differential pressure sensors have been widely used to measure the flow of incompressible liquids. A very common method is to measure the pressure drop across the orifice in the pipe and calculate the flow.

An orifice plate is simply a plate that fits in a pipe (usually between flanges) with a hole of known size in its center. As the fluid flows through the orifice, a pressure drop develops across the orifice plate from the upstream side to the downstream side. This pressure drop is proportional to flow, and the sensor signal can be used to calculate flow in engineering units.

The upstream side of the orifice will have higher pressure and will be connected to the + port of the pressure sensor through a three-valve manifold. The downstream side of the orifice is similarly connected to the -port of the pressure sensor. The three-valve manifold is used to protect the pressure sensor from overpressure when the pressure sensor is installed into the work pipeline.

Calculations to determine flow from pressure drop are derived from fairly simple physical equations. However, there are many variables, each with its own engineering unit. These include: hole geometry, pipe size, fluid viscosity and fluid density. Given the number of terms and the conversion factors involved in each variable, the calculation can be quite involved.

Fortunately, there are many online calculators that allow you to simply enter variables in any engineering units that are convenient for you, and then calculate the flow rate for any given pressure drop across the orifice.

Learn more about Flow Rate And Pressure Formula, which may help you calculate mass or volume flow.

How to install the pressure sensor when measuring the flow pipeline?

When detecting the gas and fluid pressure in the pipeline, the pressure guiding pipe is connected with a vertical tee before entering the pressure sensor. The sampling gas enters from the upper part of the tee. The lower part of the tee is connected to a water collecting irrigation, and the horizontal interface of the tee enters the pressure sensor .

The pressure sensor is installed horizontally. The sampling pressure pipe is connected to the upper part of the pressure sensor detection diaphragm. The lower part of the detection diaphragm has its own discharge bolt.

When there is liquid entering the pressure guiding pipe, a large part will be collected in the water collecting irrigation. A small amount of liquid entering the pressure sensor detection diaphragm can be discharged by the discharge bolt of the pressure sensor.

When measuring fluid pressure, the pressure of the main fluid is taken as the measurement object. Therefore, when the pressure sensor measures the gas pressure in the pipeline, in order to prevent the liquid in it from entering the sampling pressure pipe. The sampling point is 45° above the horizontal plane of the center of the pipeline.

When measuring the liquid pressure of the pipeline, in order to prevent the gas in it from entering the sampling pressure guiding tube, the sampling point is 45° below the horizontal plane of the center of the pipeline. Read more about: Shop 101: Key Factors In Selecting A Pipe Flow Meter

Even so, it is inevitable that different phases of fluid will enter the sampling impulse pipe. There are different requirements for the installation and configuration of the pressure sensor impulse pipe.

The water collecting tank or gas collecting tank installed on the pressure guiding pipe is equipped with an inlet valve and a discharge valve. During normal testing, the inlet valve is opened and the discharge valve is closed. When it is necessary to discharge, first close the inlet valve, and then open the discharge valve. . This discharge method will always have a bit of out-of-phase fluid remaining in the water or gas header, but it will not affect the pressure sensor detection accuracy.

Fluids include both gaseous fluids and liquid fluids. The density and pressure of gaseous fluids are lower than that of liquid fluids. So in pipeline fluids, the gaseous fluid is always above the liquid fluid. This is the basic characteristic of vapor-liquid two-phase fluid.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

The installation requirements of various insertion flowmeters vary. Here is a brief introduction to the standard installation of plug-in electromagnetic flowmeters:

  1. The arrangement of instruments on the pipeline should be far away from the valve. Maintain a 10-diameter upstream intermediate pipe section and a 5-diameter downstream straight pipe section.
  2. The on-site power supply needs to match the instrument power supply, generally a 24V rectifier. If there is no external power supply for the field measurement, an external power supply meter will be connected.
  3. Pay attention to the flow direction of the measured liquid on the inner wall of the pipe. If the installation is reversed, the measured liquid will show a negative value.
  4. The installation site should be cool and rain-proof. If it is often rained or immersed in water, the protection grade IP68 product should be selected.
  5. The fluid flow in the pipeline should not be stopped if the process requires it. Media should not spill. A ball valve needs to be installed.

Different digital flow sensors include turbine, thermal mass, electromagnetic, ultrasonic, orifice plate, venturi. The different designs of the flowmeters have a variety of applications. With 4-20ma, RS485, or other output.

Crude Oil Flow Meter

Crude Oil Flow Meter refers to a type of flow meter that can accurately monitor and measure the flow of crude oil. Crude oil is an industrial raw material with complex physical and chemical properties. In the process of production, storage, transportation and trade, it is greatly affected by factors such as temperature, pressure and environment. Storage, transportation and handover not in accordance with standard specifications will lead to increased measurement errors and affect product quality.

Therefore, the flow measurement of crude oil has always been the focus and difficulty of the oil and gas extraction industry.

After years of service experience, Sino-Inst offers multiple crude oil flow meters. Including mass flowmeters, positive displacement flowmeters, turbine flowmeters, etc.

Featured crude oil flow meters

types of crude oil flow meters

In terms of the medium to be measured, the crude oil containing impurities needs flow measurement, and the flow measurement of the working conditions with impurities itself is a big problem. Choosing the right crude oil flow meter is even harder.

Based on years of service experience, the following 7 type flowmeters are the types of flowmeters that we believe can effectively measure the flow of crude oil.

In order to realize the accurate measurement of crude oil production, real-time automatic measurement of incoming crude oil quality is the fundamental method.

The mass flow meter has high precision, easy to use and easy maintenance, and long service life. Crude oil production can be directly measured. It is supplemented by a computer real-time monitoring and measurement software system based on it. and utilize network resources. It can also realize remote real-time monitoring of the flowmeter.

The mass flow meter measures the crude oil quality, crude oil volume, water content, temperature and other data on the liquid pipeline in real time. It is displayed on the metering post through the on-site display instrument.

At the same time, the on-site display instrument transmits the relevant data signals to the on-site data storage and remote transmission equipment (industrial computer).

For the crude oil mass flowmeter used for single well measurement, due to the presence of some chemical substances in the measured medium, the flowmeter will cause scaling on the wall of the mass flowmeter measurement pipe after a period of operation.

The composition of scale is very complex, mainly composed of asphalt, wax, sulfide, carbide, etc.
The scale on the inner wall of the measuring tube of the flowmeter will affect the accuracy of mass flow and density measurement, thereby affecting the normal measurement performance of the mass flowmeter and causing a relatively large measurement error.

To ensure the normal use of the mass flowmeter, the flowmeter must be cleaned and descaled regularly. Then re-calibrate to determine the new configuration parameters of the instrument before it can be put into use again.

It is well known that the oval gear flowmeter is especially suitable for the flow measurement of the medium with high viscosity such as heavy oil, polyvinyl alcohol, resin, etc. The oval gear flowmeter has high measurement accuracy. It is suitable for the measurement of high viscosity medium flow (generally the viscosity of the liquid to be measured is 2-3000Mpa.s).

But not suitable for fluids containing solid particles. If the measured liquid medium contains gas, it will also cause measurement errors.

Usually, the accuracy of the oval gear flowmeter can reach 0.5, which is a relatively accurate flow meter.

However, if the flow rate of the measured medium is too small, the influence of the leakage error of the oval gear flowmeter will be prominent. Sufficient measurement accuracy can no longer be guaranteed.

The working principle of the dual rotor flowmeter is done in the metering chamber. It is directly meshed by a pair of special toothed helical rotors. No relative slippage.

Although the pressure of the liquid acting on the two rotors is different. However, a pair of synchronizing gears installed on the two rotors always maintains an appropriate gap between the two rotors, ensuring that the rotors can rotate smoothly and synchronously.

Several cavities with known volumes are formed between the rotor and the casing. Under the action of the measured medium, the micro-pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the flowmeter drives the two helical rotors to rotate in opposite directions. The helical rotor can output 8 times the volume of the cavity per revolution.

Therefore, the number of revolutions of the rotor is proportional to the cumulative flow of the fluid. The rotational speed of the rotor is proportional to the instantaneous flow rate of the fluid. Therefore, the number of revolutions of the rotor can be transmitted to the counter through the transmission gear system to directly display the liquid flow.

At the same time, it can also be converted into an electrical pulse signal by adding an electromechanical conversion device. Then pass to the secondary instrument or computer for remote display and control.

The repeatability and stability of the dual-rotor flowmeter are in a linear state, which meets the requirements of crude oil export.

The dual-rotor flowmeter has been popularized and applied in various crude oil gathering and transportation stations and external transportation measurement rooms in oilfields. Undertook the measurement task of 4400t/d crude oil export, and its measurement data has been recognized by both sides of the trade.

The target flowmeter adopts the latest force sensor as the measurement and sensitive transmission element. At the same time, the latest digital technology and microelectronic technology are applied. It is an intelligent flowmeter suitable for the measurement of fluids and gases with high viscosity, low Reynolds number and tiny particles.

The use of force sensors is the key to the true realization of high precision and high stability of this product.

The target flowmeter not only has the characteristics of traditional orifice plate, vortex flowmeter and other flowmeters without moving parts. At the same time, it has measurement accuracy comparable to that of positive displacement flowmeters. Coupled with its unique anti-interference, anti-impurity performance.

In addition to the target flowmeter can replace the conventional flowmeter and conventional fluid flow measurement. Especially in high viscosity, easy blocking, high temperature, high pressure, strong corrosion and other difficult flow measurement conditions have good application value.

At present, it has been widely used in flow measurement in various fields such as steel, oil, natural gas, electric power, papermaking, chemical industry, energy, food, environmental protection and so on.

Therefore, the target flowmeter is a good choice for measuring high viscosity crude oil.

As long as the Reynolds number fits within the measuring range of the target flowmeter, it can be measured. Viscosity changes do not need to be considered. In addition, it can be equipped with a temperature sensor for density correction, which can ensure good measurement accuracy.

Turbine flowmeters can measure media such as special oils.

There are many varieties of oil, edible oil, peanut oil, diesel oil, gasoline, etc. are all oils. Turbine flowmeters measure the flow of liquids. However, it is not recommended to use it for measurement of too viscous liquids. Because the turbine flowmeter uses the principle of impeller rotation to measure the flow, and too viscous liquid will affect the rotation of the impeller.

Turbine flow meters can measure low temperature and non-viscous special oil. If the user’s working condition is measured on site, it is a special type of high temperature type oil. Nor can it be measured with a turbine flowmeter. The turbine flowmeter can only measure the working temperature when the ambient temperature on site is 120℃.

Therefore, the user chooses the turbine flowmeter to measure crude oil, and needs to choose according to the actual working conditions.

Magnetic Flow Meter is a flow meter that measures the flow of conductive fluids. Abbreviated as EMF, also called Electromagnetic flowmeters. It is a kind of Volumetric flow meter. A magnetic flow meter measures the velocity of conductive liquids moving through a pipe or conduit. In the wastewater treatment industry, Magnetic Flow Meter is the best flow meter choice.

The split-type electromagnetic flowmeter can also measure high-viscosity fluids. Based on the principle of electromagnetic flowmeter and other factors, this is theoretically true, but it also depends on the specific site.

In addition to measuring the flow of general conductive liquids, the split-type electromagnetic flowmeter can also measure liquid-solid two-phase flow, high-viscosity liquid flow and volume flow of salt, strong acid, and strong alkali liquids.

The differential pressure flow meter is measured by the working principle that there is a certain relationship between the pressure difference and the flow rate when the medium fluid flows through the throttling device. Differential pressure (DP) flow meters are the most widely used form of flow measurement products today. Including: integrated orifice flowmeter, average velocity tube flowmeter, venturi tube, wedge flowmeter, underwater flowmeter, orifice plate, orifice carrier assembly, nozzle flowmeter.

Differential pressure flowmeters always have unexpected advantages in measuring complex working conditions.

For example:
Wedge throttling device is a new type of throttling device developed by our company. , Its special structure, non-clogging, solid structure, long life, can be used to measure liquid, gas and steam.

It is especially suitable for flow measurement of fluids with low flow rate, high viscosity, dust or solid particles. Such as measuring crude oil, fuel oil, residual oil, coal tar, waste water, carbon black solution and other fluids.

Summary of Crude Oil Flow Measurement Options

Flowmeters are the most commonly used instruments in oil exploration enterprises. The selection of flowmeters used in many production sites in oil fields is not reasonable, and some have installation errors, resulting in excessive measurement errors, and some cannot meet the needs of production or crude oil transfer measurement.

Many forms of flowmeters can measure crude oil, but when choosing a model based on experience and simply considering the purchase cost, you may lose the opportunity to choose the most suitable meter.

For example, the flow range of the instrument does not match the actual flow, and the instrument with high precision is selected for places with low measurement requirements.

It can be seen that the correct selection and use of flow meters is not an easy task. To choose a crude oil flowmeter correctly and efficiently. The following five factors must be considered, namely: performance requirements, physical properties of crude oil, installation requirements, environmental conditions and costs.

Read more about: Flow Meter Selection Guide

When selecting a flowmeter, the performance requirements to consider include: instantaneous flow, cumulative flow, degree, repeatability, linearity, flow range and range, pressure loss, output signal characteristics and response time.

Different measurement purposes have different options in terms of flowmeter performance. Such as crude oil trade settlement measurement requirements are relatively high.

Continuous measurement process control usually requires good reliability and repeatability. Sometimes a wide range of degrees is also required, and the requirements for measurement degrees should be placed in a secondary position.

The oilfield production site does not require the flowmeter to have too high accuracy, but it has good adaptability to the physical properties and working conditions of crude oil.

The operation of the crude oil flowmeter is affected by factors such as crude oil temperature, oil delivery pressure, crude oil density, crude oil viscosity, and flow rate.

The physical properties of crude oil will change to some extent with the changes of temperature and pressure.

When crude oil is measured by a flow meter, the volume of crude oil will be affected by changes in temperature, pressure, viscosity and other factors.

Among them, temperature is one of the most influential parameters in flow meter measurement. Changes in temperature can cause changes in a series of parameters, which change the volume, density, viscosity of the crude oil and the gap between the flowmeter housing and internal components, thus resulting in changes in leakage flow.

If the temperature is lowered, the paraffin and coke in the crude oil adhere to the inner wall of the shell and parts. This changes the volume of the metering chamber of the flowmeter. It directly affects the measurement accuracy of the flowmeter.

Flow meters of different principles have very different installation requirements. For example, differential pressure and turbine flowmeters require a long upstream straight pipe section, and some flowmeters do not have this requirement or have lower requirements. Some flowmeters need to consider the installation location and medium flow direction, maintenance space, installation direction, etc.

The measurement performance of the flowmeter is greatly affected by the installation conditions, and the reason for the large error of the flowmeter. Part of it is caused by poor installation.

Factors to be considered in the installation are: the installation direction of the flowmeter, the flow direction of the crude oil, the upstream and downstream straight pipe sections, the valve position, vibration, electromagnetic interference and maintenance space.

The ambient conditions of the meter and its expected changes, including ambient temperature, humidity, safety, and electrical interference, should be considered in the flowmeter selection process. The electronics of the meter and some of the meter’s flow sensing portion are affected by changes in ambient temperature.

For example, the size of the flow meter housing changes, and the heat transfer through the meter housing changes the density and viscosity of the fluid. When affecting the display meter electronics, it will degrade measurement performance. Sometimes the conversion display part and the flow sensor are installed in different places to ensure that the electronic components are not affected by temperature.

High humidity will accelerate atmospheric corrosion and electrolytic corrosion and reduce electrical insulation, and low humidity is prone to static electricity. These can have an effect on the circuit part of the flowmeter and sometimes even cause a malfunction.

In terms of economy, it is not comprehensive to consider only the purchase cost of the instrument, and other costs should also be considered. Such as accessories purchase costs, installation costs, maintenance and flow meter verification costs, operating costs and spare parts costs. Trade settlement measurement should also compare the economic losses caused by measurement errors.

The operating cost of the flowmeter is mainly the energy consumption during operation. Some flowmeters are powered by dry batteries, and the cost of battery consumption is also considerable. Pumping costs are a hidden cost that is often overlooked.

The maintenance cost is the cost required to maintain the normal operation of the measurement system after the instrument is installed and put into use, mainly including maintenance labor and spare parts. Instruments with moving parts generally require more maintenance work, such as regular replacement of wear-resistant bearings, shafts, rotors, transmission gears, etc.

The selection of crude oil flowmeter should comprehensively consider the five factors of instrument performance, fluid characteristics, installation conditions, environmental conditions and economy.

Encounter the phenomenon that the physical properties of crude oil, especially the viscosity-temperature characteristics, are not very clear. Special units should be invited to do a complete set of crude oil tests and make a physical property report.

Consult with the flowmeter manufacturer or technical department about the adaptability of various flowmeters and the influence of physical property changes on the performance of the flowmeter. Choose a flowmeter that meets your needs.

Industrial oil flow meters measure the volume or mass of oil. Can realize the mutual conversion of volume and mass.

The main industrial oils are hydraulic oil. Gear Oil. Turbine oil. Compressor oil. Refrigeration oil. Transformer oil. Cylinder oil, heat treatment oil, heat transfer oil, etc. Of course, edible oil can also be produced in the industry. In addition, there are greases with lubricating oil as base oil and thickening agent.

Therefore, whether it is a company that uses, trades, or produces oil, it needs to accurately measure the oil flow.

There are many common oil flow meters, such as turbine flow meters, positive displacement flow meters, gear flow meters, mass flow meters, etc.

In the oil and gas industry, monitoring is required most of the time during transportation and processing. Including pressure, temperature, liquid level, flow, viscosity and more. And to achieve these functions are process meters.

Therefore, in the oil and gas industry, many meters are used. For example: thermometers, pressure gauges, flow meters, etc.

If the flowmeter is divided into 5 categories. Then the five commonly used flowmeters are:

  1. Electromagnetic flowmeter
  2. Differential pressure flowmeter
  3. Turbine flowmeter
  4. Ultrasonic flowmeter
  5. Volumetric flowmeter (PD)

Different digital flow sensors include turbine, thermal mass, electromagnetic, ultrasonic, orifice plate, venturi. The different designs of the flowmeters have a variety of applications. With 4-20ma, RS485, or other output.

Then they all work differently. However, they can convert the flow signal into a digital display, or pulse, or 4-20mA signal.

Non Contact Level Transmitters: Types & Industrial Applications

Non Contact Level Transmitters are now more and more widely used in industrial level monitoring. We most often provide customers with non-contact radar level transmitters and ultrasonic level meters. Both liquids and solids can be measured with Non Contact Level Transmitters. There is no need to dig the level probe deep into the measured medium. The sensitive elements measured by Non Contact Level Transmitters are not in contact with the liquid being measured. It can be used in special occasions that contact measuring instruments cannot meet. Such as the medium with high viscosity, strong corrosiveness, strong pollution and easy crystallization.

Non Contact Level Transmitters Types

In order to choose the most suitable level sensor, we not only need to know the properties and state of the liquid being measured. It is also necessary to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different level sensors. in order to select the most suitable sensor. Next, let’s briefly introduce the common non-contact liquid level measurement methods and their characteristics.

Common non-contact measurement methods mainly include ray level meter, ultrasonic level meter, laser ranging sensor and radar level meter.

The rays emitted by nuclear radiation (such as gamma rays, etc.) have strong penetrating ability. And through the medium of different thickness has different attenuation characteristics. The nuclear radiation level meter uses this principle to measure the liquid level.

The nuclear radiation source of the nuclear radiation level gauge is installed outside the oil tank with a point or narrow structure. The elongated nuclear radiation source detection element is also installed outside the oil tank. It can realize the detection of dynamic change of liquid level.

In addition to measuring with nuclear radiation rays, neutron rays can also be used to measure liquid level.

The ray level meter is very convenient to install and has high measurement accuracy.

Because it does not have any parts in direct contact with the measured object. It is especially suitable for measurement problems that cannot be solved by traditional measuring instruments.

The propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in the same medium is relatively constant. Reflection occurs when it encounters the surface of the object being measured. Based on this principle, an ultrasonic level meter was developed. It calculates the liquid level height by detecting the time difference between ultrasonic transmission and reflection. Therefore, it is easily affected by the energy loss of ultrasonic propagation.

The ultrasonic level meter has the characteristics of easy installation and high flexibility. However, when used in environments containing steam and powder layers, the detection distance will be significantly shortened. Not recommended for use in absorbing environments such as foam.

In addition, the accuracy of the ultrasonic level meter is slightly lower than that of the radar level meter, and the price is moderate.

Its measurement principle is similar to that of an ultrasonic level meter. Just use light waves instead of ultrasound. The emission sensor emits laser light and irradiates it to the liquid surface to be measured. Reflection occurs at the liquid surface, and the receiving sensor receives the reflected light. Convert the time from transmit to receive to level.

The beam of a laser is narrow, so its spot is small and concentrated. Therefore, it is very suitable for containers with narrow openings and measurement objects with high temperature and high viscosity.

Laser ranging sensor level meters are easy to install, calibrate, and flexible. The price is relatively affordable, and it can be used for continuous or limit alarms of bulk materials or liquid levels.

If it is a transparent liquid and oil, it is necessary to add a reflective buoy on the liquid surface before it can be measured. Not suitable for use in foam or steam environment (cannot penetrate foam or easily disturbed by steam), fluctuating liquid (easy to cause malfunction), vibration environment, etc.

Radar level meters usually use the principle of frequency modulation radar. Utilize synchronous FM pulse technology. Mount the microwave transmitter and receiver on the top of the tank. A frequency-modulated microwave signal is emitted to the liquid surface.

When the echo signal is received, due to the delay of the round-trip propagation time. The transmission frequency has changed. The two signals are mixed and processed, and the difference frequency of the obtained signal is proportional to the distance between the tank top and the liquid surface.

The radar level meter has a large measurement range and is not affected by harsh weather environments. And easy to install, low maintenance and other advantages,

Especially suitable for high viscosity or high pollution products, such as asphalt. Radar level meters provide high measurement accuracy and do not require regular maintenance and recalibration. But the installation is more complicated and the price is relatively high.

Radar Type Level Transmitter Working Principle

Radar Level Measurement and guide wave radar level measurement Image source: https://instrumentationtools.com/radar-level-measurement/

Very short microwave pulses with very low energy are transmitted and received through the antenna system. The radar wave runs at the speed of light. The operating time can be converted into level signals by electronic components. A special time extension method can ensure stable and accurate measurement in a very short time.

Electromagnetic waves propagate in the air at the speed of light. The distance between the radar level gauge and the surface of the material can be expressed by the following formula:   

D = (1/2)*CT

In the formula:

D ———the distance between the radar level gauge and the surface of the material;   

C ———Speed of light   

T ———Pulse time.

Then the liquid level is:   L = E-D

In the formula:

L — liquid level;   

E ———The total height of the tank;   

D ———Air height.

Even in the presence of false reflections, the new micro-processing technology and the unique ECHOFOX- software can accurately analyze the level echo. By inputting the size of the container, the distance value can be converted into a signal proportional to the level. The instrument can be debugged with empty positions.

Ultrasonic Level Transmitter Working Principle

The working principle of the ultrasonic level sensor is:

Ultrasonic transducer (probe) emits high-frequency pulse sound waves, and the surface of the measured level (material) is reflected back. The reflected echo is received by the transducer and converted into an electrical signal. The propagation time of the sound wave is proportional to the distance from the sound wave to the surface of the object.

The relationship between the sound wave transmission distance S and the sound speed C and the sound transmission time T can be expressed by the formula: S=C×T/2.

The probe part emits ultrasonic waves, which are then reflected by the liquid surface. The probe part is received again. The distance from the probe to the liquid (object) surface is proportional to the elapsed time of the ultrasonic wave:
hb = CT2
Distance [m] = time × speed of sound/2 [m]
The temperature compensation formula of sound velocity:
Ambient sound velocity = 331.5 + 0.6 × temperature
