Maintenance of high pressure steam flow meter
Thread Content
10.0MPa compressor steam flow meter, cracks appeared around the orifice plate. I would like to ask the senior experts on the forum, in this case, can I just replace it with a new one? Is there any remedy.
You did not choose the model correctly. The design of the throttling device is based on the site, pressure and temperature, and the pressure level is calculated. Yours is obviously a design problem. The temperature and pressure are asymmetrical, as well as the temperature resistance of the orifice plate, and the selected material is wrong. 13193756695
Yours is a standard nozzle flange connection, but it is deformed. For such a high pressure, it is best to use a long-neck nozzle butt welding connection.
This kind of differential pressure flow meter accessory doesn't cost much. Just replace it with a new one. It's a metal thing. It may be easier to make a new one than to repair the old one.
There is something wrong with the design, the deformation is so severe!
Replacing it with a new one is much better than repairing it. In comparison,
Can it be used for measurement even if it is deformed like this? Change it quickly
