High-temperature molten salt flow detection
Thread Content
:Kiss: I humbly ask the experts here – regarding the detection of high-temperature molten salt flow, there are existing research papers on ultrasonic detection; what other types of flow meters could be considered? I’ve read some literature and materials; vortex street and electromagnetic methods are not suitable for high temperatures. It’s difficult to write a paper on this topic.:( I would appreciate it if experts could give me some advice; I’ll be very grateful for any help
Are target flow meters and wedge flow meters viable? The viscosity of high-temperature molten salts isn’t high enough, right?
For materials with such high temperatures and high density, radial flow meters can be used perfectly; they require little maintenance, their sensing elements are resistant to high temperatures, and there is no need for frequent inspection by personnel.
You can consult Bituba flow meters
Target flow meters, wedge flow meters are acceptable
:Kiss: Excuse me, sir, which one is more suitable? The molten salt temperature is over 600 degrees, and its melting point is over 200 degrees
If the viscosity is below 10, isn’t it too low, and does it affect measurements using the target and wedge methods?

There are currently no suitable flowmeters for measuring the flow rate of high-temperature molten salts. Fusion salts have the characteristics of high temperature, high density, and a large variation in viscosity with temperature. All generic flowmeters don’t work. In chemical production, control is often implemented by using temperature, liquid level, and motor current as control parameters. For example: Let the molten salt flow through two tanks connected in series; a control valve is installed between the two tanks to stabilize the liquid level in the first tank, with the difference in liquid levels between the two tanks serving as the parameter to be regulated in order to control the flow rate.
We have worked on some projects involving high-temperature molten salts, including lead-bismuth, sodium, and magnesium-aluminum alloys; once you see them, you’ll understand what’s going on. . Without further ado, for various measurements above 400 degrees, high-quality products or top-notch manufacturers are necessary. . Our general contractor provided measurements for temperature, pressure, and level; the owner specified flow measurement to be carried out using an ultrasonic flow meter from a certain well-known brand. The entire system is working quite well. There is also a confidentiality agreement, so it’s not convenient to say more. If we have the chance, let’s message each other directly. What do you work in? If it’s solar thermal power generation, it’s extremely simple, with few restrictions
I just checked the sample – viscosity isn’t an issue; it’s the temperature that’s a problem. Red Flag can reach temperatures of up to 500 degrees, so it’s best to consult the manufacturer, as that will provide more reliable information. What was said on the 9th floor makes a lot of sense: lava has high temperature, high density, and varying viscosity. This requires high standards for the quality of instruments; it will likely be necessary to take special measures, so I should consult the manufacturer to see if they can meet these requirements.
