High viscosity liquid flow meter best recommended
2024-07-03
In recommending high viscosity liquid flow timing, it is necessary to consider the physical characteristics of the fluid, measurement accuracy, stability, cost and practical application environment. The following are several flowmeters suitable for the measurement of high viscosity liquids, and their respective characteristics and advantages:
Coriolis mass flow meter
Features: not affected by fluid physical properties, high measurement accuracy, strong reliability.
Advantages: For high viscosity fluids, Coriolis mass flowmeters provide accurate measurements and, due to their principle of operation, are not susceptible to changes in fluid viscosity.
Cons: Relatively high price.
Magnetic flap high viscosity flowmeter
Features: High viscosity liquid flow measurement based on magnetic structure, strong adaptability, can measure fluids with different viscosity.
Advantages: Simple structure, high reliability, wide measuring range, low pressure loss and long service life.
Application scenario: Measurement of high viscosity media in petrochemical, chemical, food, pharmaceutical and other industries.
Rotor high viscosity flow meter
Features: The flow rate is measured by the rotation of the rotor when the liquid flows, and the cost is low.
Advantages: It is suitable for measuring high viscosity fluids with low pressure, small flow rate and large viscosity, and has the advantages of wide measuring range and fast response speed.
Application scenario: Suitable for low flow rate, high viscosity fluid measurement.
Vortex street high viscosity flow meter
Features: Use vortex effect to measure flow, suitable for medium and high viscosity liquid measurement.
Advantages: high accuracy, simple structure, short response time, more suitable for measuring the viscosity coefficient of 25000mPa·s, volume flow rate of 0.5m³/h8000m³/h and other fluids.
Application scenario: Suitable for flow measurement of medium and high viscosity liquids.
Circular gear flow meter, elliptical gear flow meter
Features: The elliptic gear flowmeter has a high accuracy, and its measurement error is usually within 1%, and can even reach 0.2%. Suitable for low, medium and high viscosity fluid measurement.
Advantages: simple structure, easy installation, good pressure resistance, stable performance and high reliability.
Application scenario
Elliptic gear flowmeter: More suitable for the measurement of high viscosity liquids, liquids containing particles, and very high or very low temperature liquids and other special occasions.
Circular gear flowmeter: Usually used to measure fluids with low viscosity, such as water and oil.
Selection suggestion:
Viscosity range: Select the right flowmeter according to the actual viscosity of the high-viscosity liquid.
Flow range: Select a flowmeter suitable for the flow rate and flow measurement range of high viscosity liquids.
Measurement accuracy requirements: For scenarios requiring high-precision measurement, such as scientific research experiments or high-end manufacturing, Coriolis mass flowmeters are a better choice.
Cost considerations: For cost-sensitive applications, rotor high viscosity flowmeters and vortex high viscosity flowmeters are cost-effective options.
Fluid characteristics: Select the appropriate flowmeter type according to the specific characteristics of the fluid (such as viscosity, corrosion, temperature, etc.).
Environmental conditions: Consider the installation environment of the flowmeter, such as temperature, pressure, vibration and other factors, choose a flowmeter that can adapt to these environments.
Operating temperature: Choose a flowmeter that can withstand the operating temperature of high viscosity liquids.
Material: Choose a material that can withstand the corrosion of high viscosity liquids.
To sum up, the selection of high viscosity liquid flow timing needs to be comprehensively considered according to the specific application scenarios and needs to select the most appropriate flowmeter type.
