Measuring of diesel fuel
Thread Content
The current market situation is not good. In order to save energy and reduce consumption, our company measures the oil used by each motor vehicle. Since there is no diesel flow meter, we use a water meter to measure the water meter. Is this okay? Thanks!
No, but if it's just for reference then it's ok. The flow coefficient is different. . . The difference between the two is not just density. . . :lol
Water meter measurement can only be a reference data, internal measurement is OK, but it is not accurate.
I have never heard of using water meters to measure diesel, but it is just an internal measure. It is okay to compare who uses more and who uses less. It is not open to the public and does not involve price.
This is definitely not possible. Every flow meter uses pressure difference, density and pipe diameter to calculate flow, so the density is different. The relationship between density in the calculation formula is a square root relationship. You can check this formula in a chemical engineering principle book.
The measurement will not be inaccurate. The selection of flow meter is not only related to density, but also related to the viscosity and pressure of the medium, the form of the flow meter, etc.； It can also be used for internal reference within the unit.
We are only for internal cost accounting and usage comparison, not for external use, nor does it involve price issues. But I also heard that the water meter core may stick when exposed to diesel fuel. Is this true? What material is the water meter core made of?
Of course it is different. The physical properties of water and diesel are very different. In this calculation, water and diesel are only considered to be different in density. In fact, they are also different in viscosity. In this case, the flow rate under the same pipe diameter will be different, and your diesel will reach a density of 0.84? Unless you lower its extraction temperature and reduce its yield
You should try it, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, haha
