Target type flowmeter

I. product overview
Zw-bsl series target flowmeters have been applied in industrial flow measurement since 1960s. They are mainly used to solve the flow measurement of fluid with high viscosity and low Reynolds number. They have experienced two development stages of pneumatic meters and electric meters. Zw-bsl series is a new type of flow meter, which is developed on the basis of the original measuring principle of strain gauge type target flowmeter, and adopts the new type of capacitive force sensor as the measuring and sensitive transmission element, and at the same time USES the modern digital intelligent processing technology.
Using capacitive force sensor is the new product key core to realize high precision, high stability, completely changed with strain chip target flowmeter temperature drift is big, poor ability to resist overload (shock), some shortcomings such as static sealing points, not only played a target flowmeter the original technical advantages, at the same time is comparable to those of volumetric flowmeter measurement accuracy, together with its unique anti-interference, impurity resistance, in addition to substitute for conventional flow measurement can measure flow problems, Especially in small flow, high viscosity, easy to coagulate and block, high temperature, low temperature, strong corrosion, strong vibration and other flow measurement difficult conditions have good adaptability.

Ii. Structure and working principle

1, structure,

Zw-bsl series target flowmeters are mainly composed of measuring tube (housing), new type sensor (including choke element), integrated display and output parts. Suitable sensors must be selected according to different media and working conditions. Therefore, accurate measurement objects and parameters provided by users and appropriate sensors selected by manufacturers are the key to accurate measurement of products.

2. Working principle

When medium in the measurement of pipe flow, because of its kinetic energy and target plate pressure difference, and produce on the target plate force, make the target board of trace amounts of displacement, the force is proportional to the square of the velocity with the media, the size of the target plate force of the target bar transfer, make the sensor elastomer produces trace changes, thereby breaking patches of capacitance bridge balance. Generate voltage signal corresponding to the force of flow on the target plate: influenced by the fluid flow characteristics, the flow is proportional to the square of the voltage generated by the bridge. Its mathematical expression is as follows:

CdA rho/V2 / F = 2

Where: the force (kg) exerted on F flow arrester

The drag coefficient of the Cd object

A axial projection area (mm2) of flow arrester on measuring tube

Rho medium density on condition (kg/m3)

Average velocity of V medium in measuring tube (m/s)

The force F received by the choke (target) is transmitted to the sensor through the rigidly connected transmitter (measuring rod), and the sensor generates voltage signal output: V=KF

Where: V -- voltage (mV) output of the sensor, K -- proportionality constant, F -- force (kg) on the choke (target),

After the voltage signal is preamplified, AD converted and processed by computer, the corresponding instantaneous flow and cumulative total amount can be obtained.

Vi. Precautions for installation and use
(1) installation precautions
1. There should be straight pipe sections before and after the measuring pipe. The diameter of the straight pipe section should be equal to that of the flow meter measurement pipe. The length of the straight pipe segment on the upstream side of the flowmeter is generally not less than 6~20D. It is determined according to different types of upstream choke, and the length of the straight pipe segment on the downstream is not less than 3-4d. The flowmeter is usually calibrated at the horizontal position and is usually installed in the horizontal pipeline. When it must be installed in the vertical pipeline, the flowmeter must be calibrated at the vertical installation state with the hanging weight method, and the direction of the fluid should be from bottom to top.
2. In order to facilitate maintenance and prevent unidirectional force when the flowmeter is put into use, parallel installation of the discharge pipe downstream of the bypass pipeline flowmeter is necessary to facilitate instrument cleaning and purging, especially for measuring dirty fluid or medium that is easy to solidify and crystallize. The target plate and measuring tube (gauge body) should be installed in the same axis. According to the test on a certain caliber, if the center of the target plate and the center of the pipeline deviate from 1mm up and down, it may cause a deviation of 1% to 2% of the flow coefficient, but the influence is not obvious if the deviation is 1mm from left to right.
3, the installation of explosion-proof target flow timing, should pay attention to check whether there is explosion-proof mark and explosion-proof certificate, explosion-proof equipment is in good condition.
4. For small-diameter flowmeter, because the pipe diameter is small and the flowmeter is relatively heavy, in order to prevent pipe deformation or vibration during work, a support should be set to support the flowmeter. It is not necessary to set support for large diameter flowmeter.
