What type of flow meter is suitable for measuring paraffin oil? What are the requirements for the pressure tap during pressure measurement (is flushing necessary)? Thank you!
If cost is not a concern, a Coriolis mass flow meter can be used
This depends on the physical properties of the paraffin oil as well as the operating conditions; provide the parameters and the suitable option will be determined
Reply to 1# yrj0402: It is recommended to use a wedge flow meter rather than a mass flow meter; proper heat tracing and insulation must be ensured
Paraffin oil solidifies easily, so it is best not to use differential pressure flow meters. It is recommended to use a target flow meter.
Heating and insulation are necessary, as paraffin oil solidifies at room temperature.
