Flow meter selection issues
Thread Content
The medium is mechanical oil with a viscosity of 50, a density of 0.92, and a flow rate of around 2000 m3/h; the height is approximately 2 meters. Which type of flow meter should be used? Dear experts
So, can it achieve quantitative transmission? Brother
It’s possible; using a positive-displacement type based on the medium is also fine. The problem is that the volume you have is very large – what is the diameter? Is there one with such a large capacity?
Quantitative control is possible, but the range you’re using is too large; there may not be volumetric meters of such a large capacity available on the market
I’ve seen that the flow rate for positive-displacement pumps is usually around 300 m3/h; so it would take more than two hours to transfer the material. If I do it manually, it takes about half an hour. Are there any other methods?
I’m having a headache choosing between these options; I think the minimum flow rate should be at least 800 m3/h
