The flow meter experiences severe fluctuations, and the PID control cannot stabilize it

2022-05-10View Original

Thread Content

In 1920, the flow meter was installed behind the valve, at too short a distance; whenever the valve moved, the flow rate values fluctuated back and forth, making it impossible to control the flow rate – this served as a lesson

If not controlled properly, it also affects the accuracy of measurements

Is it because the requirements for the straight pipe sections before and after the flow meter are not met?

What medium are you testing here? It seems like a jacketed insulated tube is still being used

The pipe is small, and the distance between the flow meter and the control valve is short; as a result, the feedback time for the medium upstream of the valve is relatively shorter when the valve operates. As a result, vibration occurs frequently. For mass flow meters, vibration and electromagnetic interference are the two factors that have the greatest impact on accuracy. Prolonged vibration can cause leaks or even damage to instruments and pipelines, and if the medium is under high pressure and corrosive, safety accidents may occur. It is recommended to make the corrections as soon as possible. This is why, when carrying out process piping work, it is necessary to communicate with instrument manufacturers and valve manufacturers to establish the requirements for piping installation.

The biggest mistake when installing flow meters is uneven disturbance of the medium inside the pipeline

The distance requirement between the upstream and downstream sections is not met, and the flow meter is not fully filled with fluid. It is best to have the flow meter at the front and the control valve at the back

It’s because your PID isn’t tuned properly that causes large fluctuations in traffic
