Points to consider when choosing a turbine flowmeter

2020-02-14View Original

Thread Content

  The liquid turbine flowmeter is a new type of intelligent instrument that boasts significant advantages such as a compact design, intuitive and clear readings, high reliability, immunity to external power supply interference, resistance to lightning strikes, and low cost. However, when selecting turbine flowmeters, customers should pay attention to the following points: 1. When making a selection, users should choose the appropriate model and specifications of the flowmeter based on the nominal pressure of the pipeline, the maximum pressure of the medium, the temperature of the medium, the composition of the medium, the flow range, and the requirements for signal output. 2. To achieve the best performance of the turbine flowmeter, it is appropriate for the operating flow rate to be within the range of (20%) Qmax. 3. Signal output methods of the flow meter at the time of leaving the factory: operating condition pulse signal output (three-wire system), standard flow signal (IC card) output, or RS-485 communication output. If other output functions are required, please specify them at the time of ordering. 4. Turbine flowmeters offer an extremely high cost-performance ratio, which has won them high praise from customers. The accuracy of these flowmeters can generally reach 1%, with some models achieving an accuracy of 0.5%. Structure and installation method of turbine flowmeters: Depending on the specifications, threaded, flanged, and clamping connections are used. Installation requirements for turbine flowmeters: 1. The flowmeter can be installed horizontally or vertically; when installed vertically, the fluid must flow from bottom to top. The pipes should be filled with liquid, without any bubbles. 2. During installation, the flow direction of the liquid should be consistent with the arrow indicating the flow direction on the meter’s housing. There should be a straight pipe section of at least 20 times the diameter length upstream of the meter, and a straight pipe section of at least 5 times the diameter length downstream of it. 3. Turbine flowmeters should be kept away from external electromagnetic fields; if this cannot be avoided, necessary shielding measures should be taken. 4. To prevent disruptions to the normal flow of liquid during maintenance, a bypass pipe should be installed at the location where the flow meter is situated. 5. When installing the flow meter outdoors, please take rain protection measures. 6. For explosion-proof flowmeters, the instrument housing must be disassembled and assembled in a safe location.
