Can wet flow meters measure high-pressure gases?
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, I have a question for everyone: According to the documentation, when a wet-type flow meter is used to measure gas flow, the measurement value is independent of the gas density. So: 1. Can a wet-type flow meter be used to measure high-pressure gases? 2. The gas under test is nitrogen at a pressure of 10 MPa; it enters a wet flow meter with the outlet leading to atmospheric release. Is the measurement accurate? Thank you!
No, because the drum of a wet-type flow meter cannot withstand high pressures, and when the flow rate is too high, the rapid impact of the liquid on the inside of the flow meter can cause bubbles to form, affecting accurate measurement. Wet flow meters are only suitable for measuring gases with low pressure and relatively constant flow rates.
