Issues related to the conversion of non-standard gases in float flowmeters
Thread Content
I am conducting an experiment and want to use a metal float flow meter to measure the flow rate of low-volume compressed air; I’m not quite clear about how to perform the flow rate conversion. Generally, manufacturers of gas-metal float flowmeters calibrate their scales using standard conditions air (101.325 KPa, 20°C). We currently have a stable supply of compressed air at 0.6 MPa; when this air is introduced, we want to measure the flow rate of the gas in the pipeline (the flow rate of interest being that under standard conditions). Will the reading on the float flowmeter then represent the flow rate under standard conditions, or is flow conversion necessary? When making the selection, is it sufficient to choose based on the standard-condition flow rate of the required air source?
If the density changes, an adjustment is needed to get accurate values
