Featured Large Pipe Flow Meters

Liquid Flow Meter

When measuring the liquid flow of large-diameter pipes, the following factors should be considered when choosing a flow meter:

  • The pressure loss should be as small as possible;
  • Due to the low flow rate (to reduce operating costs), the inner wall of the pipeline is easy to deposit dirt and sludge;
  • The measurement range of the flowmeter used should be particularly large to adapt to the disparity of browsing in different time periods;
  • The protection level of the flowmeter should also meet the requirements of the environment.

There are several types of flow meters commonly used to measure liquid flow in large-diameter pipes.

The electromagnetic flowmeter is made according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. It is widely used in the flow measurement of various conductive liquids in industrial processes.

The main features of electromagnetic flowmeter are as follows:

  • There are no moving parts in the pipeline, no flow blocking parts, and almost no additional pressure loss during measurement.
  • The measurement results have nothing to do with physical parameters such as flow velocity distribution, fluid pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity.
  • High measurement accuracy and large measurement range (up to 200:1).
  • The straight pipe section has relatively low requirements and is easy to meet.
  • There are products with large diameter and meeting protection requirements.
  • The price of large-caliber products is higher, and the larger the caliber, the faster the price increase.

Ultrasonic flowmeters are made by using the original that the propagation speed of sound waves in a static fluid is different from the propagation speed in a flowing fluid. It can measure both conductive media and non-conductive media.

The main features of ultrasonic flowmeter are as follows:

  • The probe can be installed on the outside of the pipeline (outer clamp type). It does not hinder the flow of fluid in the pipeline to reduce pressure loss.
  • The measurement accuracy is related to the diameter of the pipe. The larger the pipe diameter, the higher the accuracy possible (multiple sound segments are used).

In occasions where the measurement accuracy is not high, insertion flowmeters can be used to measure large flows. Because the main advantage of the plug-in flowmeter is low price (only a fraction of other structures). And this kind of flowmeter is light in weight, small in pressure loss, and easy to install and maintain.

Common ones include insertion vortex flowmeter, insertion turbine flowmeter, insertion ultrasonic flowmeter, and insertion electromagnetic flowmeter.

Gas Flow Meter

The flow meters commonly used to measure gas flow in large-diameter pipelines are as follows:

The standard orifice flowmeter is a widely used flowmeter. The advantage of the standard orifice flowmeter is that it is simple to manufacture and can be used directly without real flow calibration.

The sensor part of the thermal gas mass flowmeter consists of two reference-level platinum resistance temperature sensors. A bridging loop is used.

One sensor measures the fluid temperature. The other sensor is a heating element to maintain a constant temperature difference higher than the fluid temperature. That is, the gas flow The heat is taken away when passing the heating element.

The heat taken away is proportional to the flow rate of the gas and the density of the gas. In order to maintain a fixed temperature difference between the two temperature sensors, the circuit needs to provide more power to the heating element. The output power in the circuit is related to the quality of the fluid, and thus the flow rate is measured.

The insertion vortex flowmeter is mainly used for the flow measurement of industrial pipeline medium fluid. Such as gas, liquid, vapor, and other media. The plug-in vortex flowmeter adopts a piezoelectric stress sensor with high reliability. It can work in the working temperature range of -20℃~+350℃. There are analog standard signals and digital pulse signal output.

One of the standard throttling parts of the standard venturi piping system. It is equipped with a differential pressure instrument to measure the volume flow of a single-phase stable fluid (liquid, gas, or vapor) in a closed pipeline.

Because of its simple structure and reliable work, it has been widely used in chemical, petroleum, light industry, medicine, fertilizer, metallurgical, and other industrial sectors.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

In simple terms, there are two ways to measure the flow of pipelines. Change the pipeline or leave the pipeline unchanged.

(1) Cut off the pipeline first. Then install a flow meter. Calculate the flow rate in a certain period of time through the cross-section and the flow velocity.
(2) Use non-contact sensors. Mount the sensor outside the clamp. Then measure the pipe flow.

flow meter (or flow sensor) is an instrument used to measure the linear, nonlinear, mass, or volumetric flow rate of a liquid or a gas. When choosing flow meters, one should consider such intangible factors as familiarity of plant personnel, their experience with calibration and maintenance, spare parts availability, and mean time between failure history, etc., at the particular plant site. It is also recommended that the cost of the installation be computed only after taking these steps.

Flowmeter location: Flow meters are installed between the master valve and zone valves. To avoid false alerts, there should be no water taps or other uncontrolled water use on the downstream side of the flow meter.
