Some translations according to English norms (FLOW METER)
Thread Content
Hello, everyone. I’m studying English grammar rules and there are some things I don’t understand; please give me some guidance. 1. Meters used in liquid service should be installed in such a way that they remain always filled with liquid, thereby preventing the accumulation of gases inside them. In other words, flow meters need to be installed so that their tubes are always full of liquid and there is no gas left inside. It means that when installing the flow meter, there should be no highest point, no arching should occur, and gas should not accumulate at that highest point? 2. The use of strainers and eliminators should be considered and evaluated in order to protect metering devices whose performance or integrity would be compromised in the absence of such protection. This refers to the situations in which flow meters need to be equipped with filters and eliminators How should we understand the compromise in his performance and integrity when there is no protection? 3. The use of flow profile conditioning devices of any type shall be approved by the owner. How should this be translated? Flow meter profile conditioning devices? 4. What do paddle-type orifice plates look like? 5. If an orifice meter is the selected flow element, and the orifice plate dimensions require a meter tube length of less than 2 inches (50 mm) nominal, use either: a. A honed, fabricated meter tube with corner taps, or b. An integral orifice (see Section 3.6 for requirements.). What does \"RUN SIZE\" mean? In general, does it mean that if the pipeline diameter is less than 2”, corner connections for pressure tapping and integrated orifice plates must be used? Is a honed fabricated meter tube a polished flowmeter tube?
1. Meters used in liquid service shall be installed so that they are always filled with liquid and gas trapping is avoided. When installing instruments for use with liquids, it is necessary to ensure that the instruments remain filled with liquid at all times and that no gas accumulates inside them. 2. The use of strainers and eliminators should be considered and evaluated in order to protect metering devices whose performance or integrity would be compromised in the absence of such protection. It is necessary to consider and assess the use of filters and degasers to prevent damage to the performance or integrity of these instruments. 3. The use of flow profile conditioning devices of any type shall be approved by the owner. The use of any type of flow regulator must be approved by the owner. 4. Paddle type orifice plates: Orifice plates with handles – that is, plates to which a handle is welded, with the various parameters of the orifice plate engraved on that handle. 5. If an orifice meter is chosen as the flow element, and the dimensions of the orifice plate require that the diameter of the meter’s main pipe be less than 2 inches (50 mm), then one of the following options should be used: If an orifice plate is selected as the flow element and its size dictates that the diameter of the meter’s main pipe be less than 2 inches (50 mm), choose either: a. A precisely manufactured meter tube equipped with corner taps; or b. An integral orifice plate (see Section 3.6 for the relevant requirements)
