Detailed introduction to advanced orifice plate flowmeters – how to choose the right one?
What are you trying to measure? You can describe the operating conditions you are aware of now
The so-called advanced orifice plate flowmeter is actually a combination of an orifice plate, a replacement device chamber (valve), a differential pressure transmitter, and a secondary display unit. It allows for the replacement of the orifice plate online without interrupting production, in order to accommodate different flow rates; it also works in conjunction with pressure and temperature sensors, with the signals being sent to the secondary display unit or a PLC/DCS system. This enables easy direct reading of the volumetric flow rate. Therefore, the key factor is the medium being used – orifice plate calculation software can be used to determine all the necessary parameters for processing the orifice plate. The Reynolds number is very important, as not all media are suitable for use with such orifice plates! In Sichuan, China, there is an armory (I think its name is 9584) that serves as a leading manufacturer in this field. Such devices are now available everywhere. Orifice plate valves can be designed to meet your requirements: there are those that can be replaced without interrupting operation, as well as ordinary ones. You can adjust the pressure, temperature, and other parameters as needed. It’s important to properly design the straight sections before and after the valve. Flow meters (also known as secondary meters) come in both imported and domestic versions; all of them are adjusted using INTERLUTION software. They can also be integrated directly into PLC/DCS systems for processing. .
