What are the precautions for calibrating metal tube float flowmeters?

2018-03-13View Original

Thread Content

  Metal float flowmeters are used to measure the flow rate of liquids, gases, or vapors in closed pipelines. It is widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemicals, power generation, pharmaceuticals, food, and water treatment. During flow measurement in complex and harsh environmental conditions, as well as under various medium conditions. A metal tube float flow meter is a type of variable-area flow measurement instrument commonly used in industrial automation process control. It features a small size, a large detection range, and easy use. Its main features are: 1. A robust fully metal construction for the float-type flow meter; 2. The measurement system can be made of stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium, or PTFE materials; 3. A design that results in low pressure loss; 4. Suitable for measuring the flow rate of media in small diameters and at low flow speeds.   5. Reliable in operation, requires minimal maintenance, and has a long service life.   6. Lower requirements are placed on straight pipe sections.   7. A wider flow ratio of 10:1.   8. Dual-line large LCD display; optional on-site instantaneous/accumulated flow display, with backlight available.   9. Non-contact magnetic coupling drive.   10. All-metal structure, suitable for high temperatures, high pressures, and highly corrosive media.   11. Optional two-wire, battery, and AC power supply options.   12. Features data recovery, data backup, and power loss protection.   Next, our factory’s technical team will provide you with a detailed overview of the key points to keep in mind when calibrating metal tube float flow meters: 1. Before installing a metal tube float flow meter, it is necessary to remove the rods, fillers, rubber bands, etc., that were used to protect the meter during transportation. This allows the float to change position, and the operation of the converter should be checked; if anything appears abnormal, adjustments should be made.   2. The inlet end of the metal tube float flow meter should be connected to the smaller end of its cone tube.   3. Metal tube float flowmeters should be installed vertically on vibration-free pipelines, with an inclination of less than 5°.   4. The testing medium must be clean; if necessary, a filter should be installed upstream of the flow meter. The medium should be a unidirectional, steady flow that fills the pipeline.   5. If the liquid being tested contains bubbles, air should be removed before the flow meter.   Flow measurement is an important basis for corporate economic accounting. Accurate and reliable flow measurement is a prerequisite for ensuring the normal operation of enterprises, and it is one of the key means to achieve optimal economic benefits.
