Points to note when installing turbine flowmeters

2019-08-01View Original

Thread Content

(1) The pipeline must be cleaned before installing the turbine flowmeter. A filter should be used when the medium being tested is not clean. Otherwise, the turbine and bearings are prone to getting stuck, making it impossible to measure the flow rate. (2) When disassembling or assembling the flow meter, do not collide with the magnetic induction section. (3) Set the instrument coefficients before commissioning. Carefully check to ensure that the instrument wiring is correct and the grounding is proper before powering it on. (4) When installing a turbine flowmeter, the flanges at the inlet and outlet of the pipeline must be level; otherwise, pipeline stress will have a significant impact on the flowmeter. (5) The power cable of the transmitter should be a metal-shielded cable, with reliable and proper grounding. The power supply is 24V DC with an impedance of 650Ω. (6) The transmitter should be installed horizontally, avoiding vertical installation, and it is necessary to ensure that there are sufficient straight sections in front of and behind it; generally, 10D in front and 5D behind. (7) The flow direction of the fluid must be consistent with the direction indicated by the arrow on the instrument housing; it must not be installed in the opposite direction. (8) The medium under test must not be corrosive to the turbine, especially at the bearings; otherwise, measures should be taken. (9) Pay attention to ensuring that the magnetic induction section is not collided with.
