Instrument selection
Thread Content
What parameters need to be considered when selecting flowmeter instruments? How should the parameters provided by the manufacturer be compared with those from the design institute, and what are the precautions to take? Could the expert please provide an explanation, or some reference materials for selection? Thank you
Flow rate, pressure, temperature, material properties (density, viscosity, acidity/alkalinity), pipe size, fire and explosion protection requirements, presence of necking, and flow meter material. The key is to determine whether the manufacturer’s selection meets the design requirements set by the design institute; prior to that, it is necessary to verify whether the design provided by the design institute complies with the process requirements.
Your question is a bit too broad; there are too many factors to consider: medium properties, measurement conditions, accuracy requirements... If you have specific details, we can analyze them.
Provide the specifications to the manufacturer to facilitate smoother communication: lol
Different types of flowmeters have different parameters
