If a wedge flow meter is installed vertically, how can a double-flange connection be transferred?

Thread Content

The wedge flow meter is installed vertically; when the double flanges are not tightened, the zero point is -6 Kpa. The medium being measured is water, and the range is 0-8 Kpa. So, is it LRV=-6 and URV=2, or does the weight of the water medium need to be taken into account? In that case, LRV=-0.6+0.6=0 and URV=8. Which value is correct? Thank you

The weight of the water needs to be taken into account. When the flow rate is 0, the pipe is filled with water at rest.

If the flow is at rest, simply zeroing it out will result in migration; if it’s not at rest, closing the valve and loosening the flange screws allows for direct zeroing against atmospheric pressure. This saves the hassle of having to do calculations

When calculating the migration volume, not only the weight of water but also the influence of the weight of the oil filled in the transmitter must be taken into account. Of course, it is best to follow the procedures outlined by the \"Six Wings\" of Building 5 when working on site. Published 5 hours ago | View only this author
