What are the key points when installing a vortex flow meter?

Thread Content

  If the vortex flowmeter controller is installed with two 90-degree angles on the same vertical plane upstream and downstream of it. For bent pipes, the upstream and downstream connection sections shall be ≥ 25D, while the mid-upstream connection section shall be ≥ 5D. The control valve should be installed 5D upstream and downstream of the controller; if it must be installed upstream or downstream of the controller, the pipe sections upstream and downstream of the controller should be at least 50D in length, while the upstream and downstream areas should be at least 5D in length.   Avoiding high-power electrical projects, high-frequency equipment, and main power switch facilities ; Avoid the hazards of high-temperature pyrogens and radiation sources, as well as areas with *vibrations and highly corrosive environments; at the same time, ease of installation and maintenance must also be taken into consideration.   Controllers should be installed as far as possible away from pipelines subject to severe vibration, especially horizontal vibration. If a steam vortex flow meter must be installed, shock absorption measures must be taken; tightening devices for the pipelines should be installed 2D upstream and downstream of the controller, along with vibration damping pads.   When measuring gas flow rate, the controller can be installed on a vertical pipeline, with no distinction regarding the inflow direction. If the gas under test contains a small amount of liquid, the gas should flow from bottom to top. When measuring the liquid volume remaining, the liquid should flow from bottom to top: this way, it is less likely for the weight of the liquid to be added unintentionally to the camera.   Regardless of the type of two-phase flow being measured, the controller can be installed above the level tube; this is particularly useful for measuring superheated steam, saturated steam, and liquid at low temperatures. If the specifications permit, it is advisable to use an overhead installation, as this reduces the impact of the temperature of the two-phase flow on the amplifier.   Based on the measurement requirements, when it is necessary to measure water pressure and temperature around the controller, the pressure measurement point should be located 3-5D upstream of the controller, while the temperature measurement point should be located 6-8D upstream of the controller.
