What flow meters can be used for naphtha

2010-11-08View Original

Thread Content

As the title suggests, is it okay for me to choose an electromagnetic option for naphtha?

The original poster is being funny, right? Naphtha is a light petroleum product that does not conduct electricity at all, so electromagnetic flowmeters cannot be used. If it is a trade handover, it is best to use a mass flow meter. For ordinary process metering, vortex flowmeters, orifice plates, or rotameters can all be used.

The E+H mass flow meter we use is very useful.

OP, naphtha cannot be measured using an electromagnetic flowmeter (its conductivity is too low). A volumetric flow meter (such as a rotameter or gear flow meter) or a mass flow meter should be used.

Use vortex flow meters; they are more cost-effective and practical

Naphtha is non-conductive, so electromagnetic flowmeters cannot be used; it is recommended to opt for gear-type positive displacement flowmeters, wedge flowmeters, or Coriolis mass flowmeters. http://www.shakic.com/cp/product5.htm http://www.shakic.com/cp/product6.htm http://www.shakic.com/cp/product9.htm

Thank you, I’ll choose the throttle device.

If the medium viscosity is available, an AK balanced flow meter with a double-flange design can be used

It’s actually better to choose a wedge flow meter – it offers a good cost-performance ratio and is reliable. If high measurement accuracy is required, then opt for a mass flow meter

Ultrasonic flowmeters can be used; it’s best to use external clamping type ones, as they are easier to install
