I have a question regarding mass flow meters

2023-08-01View Original

Thread Content

What are the reasons for the large difference in the values displayed by two mass flow meters of the same model (Coriolis) connected in series? If synchronization needs to be adjusted, which parameters need to be changed? Please ask an expert to provide guidance.

The reasons for significant differences in the readings of mass flow meters could be as follows: 1. Different properties of the fluid: The two flow meters may be measuring fluids with different properties, and differences in density, viscosity, and other characteristics of liquids and gases can lead to inconsistent measurement results. 2. Different installation locations: The two flow meters may be installed in different locations, resulting in different fluid flow conditions that in turn affect the accuracy of the measurement results. 3. Instrument damage or aging: The two flowmeters may suffer from varying degrees of aging or damage, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. To adjust the synchronization of the two mass flow meters, the following parameters can be considered for adjustment: 1. Temperature and pressure: Ensure that the temperature and pressure of the medium being measured are the same in both flow meters, which can be achieved by adjusting the heating or cooling devices, as well as the valves on the inlet and outlet pipes. 2. Measurement range and resolution: Ensure that the measurement range and resolution of the two flowmeters are identical, which can be achieved by adjusting the range and accuracy of the sensors as well as calibrating the instruments. 3. Liquid level height or flow rate: Ensure that the liquid level height or flow rate of the medium as measured by the two flow meters is the same; this can be achieved by adjusting parameters such as the pump speed and valve opening in the fluid transport system. In addition, mass flow meters should be calibrated and maintained regularly to ensure their proper operation and accurate measurements. If the problem persists, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer or professional technicians for assistance. .

First, calibrate the two flowmeters, then install them correctly according to the standards; if there are still significant differences, it is necessary to consult the manufacturer or a calibration service.

Thank you for the advice. Both of these flowmeters have just been sent for inspection to the Provincial Metrology Institute; I’ll check with them.

I asked the Metrology Institute, and they said that everything was tested in accordance with standards, so there’s no problem. Let’s find the cause on-site. The two flow meters on site seem to be simply copied from each other; no reason can be found for this. Now I want to manually set the two traffic values to be the same. How do I do that, and what parameters are involved? Asked for advice

Adjusting the clock by yourself carries a high risk. Especially if it is to be used for trade handover, it is recommended that you send the unit in question for re-inspection.
