ATCF Integrated Coriolis mass flowmeter from China Manufacturer

Introduction

Here's a breakdown of how a Coriolis mass flow meter works:

Vibrating Tube: The meter typically consists of a tube that is set into vibration by an external force. This force can be generated by a drive coil attached to the tube.

Fluid Flow: The fluid (liquid or gas) to be measured flows through the vibrating tube.

Coriolis Effect: As the fluid moves through the vibrating tube, the Coriolis effect causes a distortion or twisting of the tube. This distortion is directly proportional to the mass flow rate of the fluid.

Sensor Detection: Sensors, often located at the inlet and outlet of the tube, measure the degree of distortion or phase shift in the vibration caused by the Coriolis effect.

Mass Flow Calculation: The information collected by the sensors is then used to calculate the mass flow rate of the fluid. The more the tube twists, the higher the mass flow rate.

Features

01

Easy installation and use: no straight pipe section requirements, no rectification device, no moving parts, simple maintenance, high range ratio.

02

Direct measurement of medium variables: medium mass flow rate: proportional to the phase difference of the vibration of the measurement tube.Medium density: proportional to the vibration frequency of the measuring tube. Medium temperature: temperature sensor measurement.

03

Indirect measurement of other variables of the medium: medium volume flow, medium concentration and other variables.

04

It has high measurement accuracy, standard accuracy 0.2%; And the measurement is not affected by the physical properties of the medium.

05

There is no moving parts to wear and need to be replaced. These design features reduce the need for routine maintenance.

06

The Coriolis mass flow meter is insensitive to viscosity, temperature and pressure.

07

The Coriolis flow meter can be configured to measure positive or reverse flow.

08

Flow meters are operated by flow characteristics such as turbulence and flow distribution. Therefore, upstream and downstream direct pipe operating requirements and flow regulation requirements are not required.

09

The Coriolis flow meter does not have any internal obstacles, which may be damaged or blocked by viscous slurry or other types of particulate matter in the flow.

010

It can take measurement of high viscosity fluids, such as crude oil, heavy oil, residual oil and other liquids with higher viscosity.

Model Selection

01 Safety of media:
The corrosiveness of the medium, whether the medium has a chemical reaction with the liquid surface material of the flow meter, and whether the instrument housing has a certain corrosion resistance to the application site.

02 Pipeline pressure:
The pressure level of the sensor should meet or be higher than the pressure level of the process pipeline design, and the sensor should not be used in the overpressure range.

03 Temperature of the medium:
When selecting the instrument, attention should be paid to the applicable temperature of the instrument, and the temperature resistance of the detection element in the sensor is certain, so as to avoid the normal use of the instrument caused by the damage of the detection device.

04 protection requirements:
Consider whether the protection level of the instrument housing meets the requirements for use when using the instrument outdoors and in special occasions.

05 explosion-proof requirements:
The explosion-proof level of the instrument should meet the safety standards of the use site, distinguish the safety side and the dangerous side of the explosion-proof site, and reasonably select the required explosion-proof type of sensors and transmitters.

06 Flow range:
First of all, the measuring range of the flowmeter should cover the flow range of the measured medium; Secondly, the measurement accuracy of the mass flow meter contains zero instability, which affects the accuracy of the measurement at the lower limit (small flow rate), so the flow range of the measured medium is best selected in the best flow range of the flow meter (20%-85% of the maximum flow rate of the flow meter).

07 other relevant factors: including instrument installation, maintenance, power and pressure loss and other factors.

Installation

① The installation position should avoid electromagnetic interference. The installation positions of sensors and transmitters and cable laying should be far away from devices prone to strong electromagnetic fields, such as high-power motors, transformers, and frequency conversion devices.

② The process pipe should be in the middle, and both sides of the flange should be parallel. It is strictly prohibited to use the sensor to straighten the upper and downstream process pipes, otherwise it will affect the measurement and even damage the sensor. In addition, there should be stable support at the near flange of the process pipeline on both sides (about 2 to 10 times the pipe diameter).

③ The butterfly valve cannot be installed on the inlet side of the sensor.

④ On the upper and downstream pipes of the sensor, it is recommended to install a stop valve and bypass to facilitate zero calibration, daily maintenance and to ensure that the sensor can also be in a full pipe state when not working. Flow control using the regulator downstream of the sensor.

⑤ When measuring the easy vaporizing medium, it is recommended to install a pressure gauge downstream of the flow meter to check the downstream pressure; If the downstream of the flow meter is to expand the diameter, it is recommended that the downstream process tube of the flow meter be kept at the same diameter distance from the flow meter, and it is recommended that the downstream valve of the sensor be installed to adjust the appropriate back pressure to prevent the occurrence of vaporization or cavitation. If the medium vaporizes or cavitation occurs in the flow meter, the measurement accuracy will be affected, and the sensor will not work normally in serious cases.
