The sequence of installing thermometers, flow meters, and pressure transmitters along the pipeline
Thread Content
What is the order in which thermometers, flowmeters, and pressure transmitters are installed along a pipeline, from front to back? Why?
I’m not too sure either. If anyone knows, could they explain it?
Pressure, temperature, flow rate: When the pressure sensing element and the temperature sensing element are located on the same pipe section, the pressure sensor should be installed upstream of the temperature sensor, to prevent vortex formation in the fluid caused by the temperature sensing element from affecting pressure measurement.
Correct answer: When the pressure sensing element and the temperature sensing element are located on the same pipe section, the pressure sensor should be installed upstream of the temperature sensor, to prevent swirls in the fluid caused by the temperature sensing element from affecting pressure measurement.
In the process flow, the thermometer is installed in front of the pressure gauge; as explained above, the pressure gauge is placed in front of the flow meter. Usually, a pipe is used to connect them, which does not affect the accuracy of the flow meter
. . . . Flow rate, pressure, temperature; or pressure, flow rate, temperature – in any case, temperature should be placed at the end
Traffic first, temperature last, that’s fine. 8# addiass
Place the pressure sensor first, followed by the flow meter, and then the temperature sensor.
The pressure gauge is installed more than 1 meter in front of the flow meter, while the thermometer is installed behind the flow meter.
