Orifice plate flowmeters cannot provide accurate measurements
Thread Content
The flow meter at the 1.0MPA steam outlet device cannot provide accurate measurements; the flow rate tends to increase when the amount of steam sent out is low. Process conditions: Pipeline DN350, temperature around 280°C, continuous operation, flow rate of 15–20 T/H. Could the experts please analyze what the cause is? The issue with the transmitter has been ruled out
The maximum flow rate for a 350-mm pipe is 50 tons; your flow rate is too low, which results in inaccurate readings. It is recommended to use a 200-mm diameter pipe along with an E+H vortex flow meter, along with temperature and pressure compensation
Orifice plate flowmeters have a low range ratio, resulting in large errors at low flow rates; it is recommended to use flowmeters with a higher range ratio for measurement, such as vortex flowmeters....
