Question: The impact of reciprocating pump pulsation on the measurement accuracy of electronic flowmeters
Thread Content
Question: The impact of reciprocating pump pulses on the measurement accuracy of electronic flowmeters. I would like to ask those with more experience: Do reciprocating pump pulses affect the accuracy of instantaneous flow measurement by electronic flowmeters (electromagnetic, turbine, vortex, mass flowmeters, etc.)? If there is an impact, how should it be eliminated? Thank you! (Are there any other ways to minimize the pulsations of the reciprocating pump?) ) It would be great to have actual engineering practice examples; thank you so much!
Why isn’t anyone responding? Friends who have had similar experience, please offer some guidance. We are working on a project and need to select a flow meter urgently; all the flow meters we used in the past were field-mounted instruments, so we don’t have any experience in this area:handshake :handshake :handshake :L
Adding a buffer tank can effectively mitigate the effects of pulses. It is advisable to install a buffer device on reciprocating pumps
Excuse me, on the 3rd floor – is this your project example or something else? Reducing the pulse is the most direct approach, but the pulse still exists; will its presence have a significant impact on the instantaneous flow rate?
Our company also has reciprocating pumps that use mass flow controllers. There is a small tank at the outlet of each pump, a very tiny tank, which serves to buffer the pressure. It can effectively alleviate pulses. The pulsating flow of reciprocating pumps can only be mitigated; it is difficult to eliminate completely. It might not be possible to eliminate it either.
