Mass flow meters for measuring liquids: installation issues
Thread Content
1. Should it be installed on a horizontal pipeline or a vertical pipeline? Second, does the issue of a fully filled pipeline need to be considered for horizontal pipelines, and how can it be ensured that the pipeline is fully filled? Third, if there is a measurement principle, it would be best if it were in video form; please share it. Thank you
1. Both horizontal and vertical tubes can be used; for measuring gases with a horizontal tube, the U-shaped tube is oriented with its opening facing upward, while for measuring liquids it is oriented with its opening facing downward. In a vertical pipe, the flow direction is from bottom to top. II. The pipe must be completely filled. Determine the installation location; it must not be installed at the highest point of the pipeline. III. No images: lol:lol:lol
Depending on the medium and the operating conditions of the pipeline, the installation methods vary; in some cases, the angle can also be adjusted to achieve better measurement results
It is best to install it on a vertical pipeline, as mass flow meters are sensitive to stress-induced deformation; some small flow meters will show a reading just by twisting them. So it is generally installed in vertical pipes, which also ensures that the pipe is always full. If installed on a horizontal pipe, support must be considered. Regardless of the installation method, main installation stress must be considered, especially for small mass flowmeters.
The original poster has too many problems; I still have to provide you with animated images – what a waste of time!
Thank you for your comments. It’s not that the original poster has too many flaws; it’s that the demands are too high. Anyway, thanks for the reminder.
For measuring liquids, we also have those with the U-shaped part facing upward, and they work very well too
