How to choose the right metal tube float flow meter for you
2024-11-28
When choosing a metal tube float flow meter, the following key factors need to be considered:
Fluid medium characteristics: clearly measure whether the medium is liquid or gas, as well as the temperature, pressure, viscosity, corrosion and other properties of the medium. According to these characteristics, the metal tube materials and float materials that can withstand the medium conditions are selected.
Measurement range requirements: Determine the desired flow measurement range and select the appropriate metal tube diameter and float size accordingly to ensure accurate measurement in the flow range.
Accuracy requirements: According to the demand for measurement accuracy in the actual application scenario, select a metal tube float flowmeter with the corresponding accuracy level.
Environmental conditions: Consider the installation environment of the flowmeter, such as temperature, humidity, explosion-proof requirements, etc., to ensure that the selected equipment can adapt to these environmental conditions and work normally.
Ease of installation and maintenance: Choose a flow meter that is easy to install and maintain, considering its connection, installation location and ease of maintenance operation.
Reliability and durability: Understand the brand reputation and quality of flow meters, and choose equipment with high reliability and good durability to ensure long-term stable measurement performance.
Metal tube float flowmeter introduction
The metal tube float flowmeter is a kind of flow measuring instrument widely used in the industrial field. Its working principle is to reflect the change of flow through the float moving up and down in the measuring tube.
Definition and principle: The flowmeter consists of a vertical conical tube that expands from the bottom up and a float that moves up and down the cone axis. When the fluid passes through the annular gap formed by the cone tube and the float, the upper and lower ends of the float produce differential pressure. When the lifting force is greater than the weight of the float, the float rises until the lifting force is equal to the weight of the float. There is a relationship between float height and flow rate.
Features and advantages: Has a wide range of applicability, can be used to measure various types of liquid and gas flow; Intuitive reading, quick flow reading without additional electronics; High precision and repeatability to meet the needs of precise control; Low maintenance requirements, stable structure; Versatility, such as alarm function, standard signal output, etc.
Type and structure: including indicator type, electrical remote transmission type, corrosion resistant type, high voltage type, jacket type, explosion-proof type and many other types. Robust construction, all-metal design, with standard analog signal output and field indication function.
Precautions for use: the impurities in the pipeline should be removed when using for the first time; The valve should be opened slowly when measuring liquid; Avoid pressurizing the system piping too quickly when measuring gas.
Application cases: It plays an important role in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, water treatment and other industrial fields, such as measuring the flow of crude oil, refined oil, corrosive media, pharmaceutical liquid and other fluids.
In summary, the metal tube float flowmeter has many advantages and a wide range of application fields. When selecting and using, reasonable selection and configuration should be carried out according to the specific application requirements and fluid characteristics. It is recommended to consult and communicate with a professional flowmeter supplier or engineer to ensure that the selected equipment meets the actual needs.
