To measure asphalt, are there any good mass flow meters, and are there any precautions for their installation? Cases of using mass flow meters to measure asphalt at that location
A mass flow meter cannot be used to measure asphalt. Asphalt will stick to the pipe walls. Let’s talk about the process environment and whether a flow meter is needed.
Ultrasonic waves work; all other contact-based methods don’t work in such conditions of high temperature and high viscosity – no flow meter can handle them
Elliptical gear flow meter with jacketed heating
It was measured using either an isotope or ultrasonic flow meter, or by means of a volumetric flowmeter.
Ultrasonic waves work; weighing won’t do!
It is no problem to use mass flow meters for measuring asphalt in production facilities; this is how it is done in the oil refining industry! You can consult the manufacturers, such as Emerson, Yokogawa, E+H, etc.!
Target flowmeters can be used to measure asphalt. Target flowmeters are not affected by viscosity; they can be used for liquid sulfur, modified asphalt, liquid paraffin, and epoxy resin liquids. Xiamen Hongkong Automation Instrument Co., Ltd
As a highly viscous medium, asphalt is usually transported through pipes using heat tracing; moreover, its physical properties change very little. So why is it necessary to consider the mass flow rate? His volumetric flow rate is very stable, with minimal measurement errors. If the viscosity is very high, target or wedge type measurements can be considered; both are suitable for measuring high-viscosity substances.
