What aspects can be used to determine the specifications of a rotor flowmeter? The specifications of the rotor flowmeter can be selected from three aspects: medium temperature and pressure. The next step is to measure whether the diameter of the stove needs to output a signal.

2. Do you have any information on flowmeter selection? Ultrasonic flowmeter, float flowmeter, and vortex flowmeter are used respectively Vortex flowmeter is mainly used for flow measurement of industrial pipeline media fluids, such as gases, liquids, vapors, and other media. Its characteristics are small pressure loss, large range, high accuracy, and almost unaffected by rising parameters such as fluid density, pressure, temperature, viscosity, etc. when measuring volumetric flow rate under working conditions. No movable mechanical parts, therefore high reliability and low maintenance. The instrument parameters can be stable for a long time. Float flowmeter is a volumetric flow meter that measures the flow area between a vertical conical tube with the float rising and falling as the flow rate changes, also known as a rotor flowmeter. Float flowmeter is used for small diameters and low flow rates. Commonly used instruments have a diameter of 40-50mm or less, with a minimum diameter of 1.5-4mm. They are suitable for measuring low flow rates and small flow rates. Taking liquids as an example, the nominal diameter of a glass tube float flowmeter with a diameter of 10mm or less for full flow rates is only between 0.2-0.6m/s, or even lower than 0.1m/s; Metal tube float flow meters and glass tube float flow meters with a diameter greater than 15mm are slightly higher, with flow rates between 0.5-1.5m/s. Float flow meters can be used for lower
Selection of Float Flow Meter
Reynolds numbers, using floats with viscosity insensitive shapes. As long as the Reynolds number at the flow annulus is around 40 or 500, the flow coefficient remains constant when the Reynolds number changes, meaning that changes in fluid viscosity do not affect the flow coefficient. This value is far below the minimum Reynolds number requirement of 104-105 for standard orifice plate and other throttling differential pressure instruments. Most float flowmeters do not require an upstream straight pipe section, or in other words, do not have high requirements for the upstream straight pipe section. When the fluid used is different from the factory calibrated fluid, flow indication correction should be performed. Float flow meters for liquids are usually calibrated with water, while those for gases are calibrated with air. If the actual fluid density and viscosity are different, the flow rate may deviate from the original division value and require conversion correction. Advantages of ultrasonic flowmeter: (1) It can be used for non-contact measurement; (2) Measurement without flow obstruction and pressure loss; (3) It can measure non-conductive liquids and is a supplement to electromagnetic flow meters for unobstructed measurement; (4) Except for measuring pipe segments, there is generally no need for real flow verification; (5) In principle, it is not limited by the pipe diameter, and its cost is basically independent of the pipe diameter. Disadvantages: (1) The propagation time method can only be used for cleaning liquids and gases; The Doppler method can only be used to measure liquids containing a certain amount of suspended particles and bubbles; (2) The Doppler method has low measurement accuracy.
