Steam flow meter for paper mill

2024-07-31
1. Flowmeter type selection
In the paper mill, the choice of the steam flow meter should be determined according to the actual needs and working conditions. Commonly used types of steam flowmeters include vortex flowmeters, differential pressure flowmeters, thermal flowmeters, etc. Each type has its own characteristics and range of use, which need to be selected according to measurement accuracy, range, use environment and other factors.

2. Measurement principle and application
1) Vortex flowmeter: The use of vortex principle to measure steam flow, with high measurement accuracy, good stability and other advantages, suitable for high pressure steam flow measurement.
2) Differential pressure flowmeter: by measuring the pressure difference of steam in the pipeline to calculate the flow, simple structure, high reliability, suitable for a variety of pressure and temperature of steam flow measurement.
3) Thermal flowmeter: The use of heat conduction principle to measure steam flow, with a wide measurement range, insensitive to the composition of the medium and other advantages, suitable for gas and low viscosity liquid flow measurement.

3. Installation precautions
1) Choose the right installation position: the steam flowmeter should be installed in a position that is easy to observe and maintain, and avoid being installed in a position where the temperature is too high or too low to reduce the measurement error.
2) The choice of installation mode: according to different flow meter types and working conditions to choose the appropriate installation mode, such as vertical installation or horizontal installation.
3) Installation pipe diameter and connection method: Select the appropriate pipe diameter according to the size of the steam flow, and ensure that the connection is sealed well to avoid leakage.

4. Maintenance and calibration
1) Regular inspection: regularly check the appearance joints and accessories of the steam flowmeter to ensure that there are no abnormal conditions.
2) Cleaning and maintenance: regularly clean the inside and outside of the steam flowmeter to keep it clean and in good working condition.
3) Calibration: Periodically calibrate the steam flowmeter as required to ensure measurement accuracy and stability.

5. Measurement error and solution
1) Source of error: The source of error of the steam flowmeter in the paper factory mainly includes installation error, use environment error and instrument itself error.
2) Solution: Take appropriate measures for different sources of error, such as adjusting the installation position, improving the use environment, etc., to reduce the error.

6. Relevant regulations and standards
Paper mills in the selection and use of steam flow meter, should follow the relevant regulations and standards, such as the People's Republic of China Measurement Law, the People's Republic of China Standardization Law, etc. At the same time, industry standards and specifications must be followed to ensure measurement accuracy and reliability.

7. Market status and development trend
At present, with the development and application of automation technology, the market demand for steam flowmeters shows a trend of diversification and high precision. At the same time, new intelligent and multi-functional steam flowmeter products are also emerging, providing more choices for the market. In the future, with the improvement of environmental awareness and technological progress, energy-saving and environmentally friendly steam flowmeters will become the mainstream of the market.
