V cone flowmeter

Products overview:
ZW series of LGVV cone flowmeterWith V cone in the flow field generated by the throttling effect, measured by detecting the differential pressure of upstream and downstream of the flow.Compared with ordinary throttling, it changed the throttling layout, from the center hole throttle annular throttle instead.Practice shows that compared with other flow meter, the flowmeter has high accuracy, good stability for a long time, the installation condition limits small and wear resistance, wide measuring range, small pressure loss and suitable for the advantages of smudges.And V cone itself as the flow field of the rectifier and become a new type has unique properties of excellent flowmeter.

And V cone itself as the flow field of the rectifier and become a new type has unique properties of excellent flowmeter.By V cone sensors and differential pressure transmitter, smart combination flow totalizer.especially v-cone flowmeter, V can accurately measure the width Reynolds number (8 x 103 Re 5 x 107 or less or less) within the scope of all kinds of medium flow.Now a v-shaped cone international standardization, but international flow measurement industry research hot spot.Believe in the near future along with the in-depth research, the improvement of the theory and experimental data, it will be and the standard orifice, standard nozzle, classical venturi meter as a part of the standard throttling device.
Second, the working principle:
ZW series of LGVV cone flowmeter consists of a coaxial installation in the measuring tube tip of the cone and the corresponding pressure, the measuring tube is machined, the differential pressure, pointed at both ends of the cone, the differential pressure of high pressure (positive pressure) is at the upstream fluid contraction front wall static pressure measurement, and low pressure (negative pressure) is taken from the cone pointing downstream face pressure on the center of a cone hole.
* toward the coming flow of the cone, cone and its tail is a sharp acute Angle between the edge of the mating surface makes the fluid into the low pressure area downstream before there is a transition zone of smooth.
Due to fluid near the pipe center axis, not forced to contraction and not a blockage, to change fluid flow direction, but using the new structure of V type cone throttling device realized gradually to the fluid toward the side wall of tube shrinkage, make V cone flowmeter has a series of unique advantages.The low voltage side produce high-frequency low-rising small vortex, the differential pressure and differential pressure transducer is measured is low noise signal, can make the differential pressure transmitter measured high distinguish rate, so that V cone obtained wide range ratio and good repeatability.
Flow sensor produced by the square root of the differential value is proportional to the flow of relationships:
Qv = (c. epsilon)/(1 - beta 4) 0.5 (PI / 4). D2.0.5

Six, technical advantage and defect:
ZW series of LGVV cone flowmeter due to the unique profile of V cone and its position in the center of the pipe axis make V cone throttling device has convergent divergent side wall of the small shrinkage, low background noise signal, zui wear (since), flow adjustment (since the rectifier), self cleaning, self mixing and other unique features and effectively interact with the center of the high-speed fluid velocity distribution, to enable it to measure the rate of flow of fluid in a unique way, its the technical characteristic is to make it have good effect in general.
Because the V cone structure characteristics, it is also difficult to avoid defects:
1, requirements V cone is better than 0.5%, the accuracy of the requirements for each one meter on the conditions of use of the calibration device as close as possible to real flow calibration, the calibration of its flow coefficient C.
2, V taper has not yet reached the degree of standardization.
3, due to the structure, can't use a V cone of bidirectional flow to meet the demａnd of the flow measurement.
4, for low Reynolds number (Re < 8000), there is no guarantee that the requirement of linearity and repeatability.
5, because of the need to the front pressure, large volume, high installation fees, limits the V cone market application prospect.
Seven, V cone sensors and differential pressure transmitter of v-cone flowmeter: V
In accordance with user requirements, with V cone sensors and differential pressure transmitter the supply of flow measuring instrument is divided into two categories:
1, V cone sensors provide only the differential signal detection part of the cone and measuring pipe (V), does not provide differential pressure transmitter, part three valve group and flow display, output signal for the differential pressure.By the users themselves.
2, flowmeter consists of V cone sensor and differential pressure transmitter.Have installed points in shape and a size two structures.
Points are installed by an independent V cone of sensor and differential pressure transmitter.V taper between sensor and differential pressure transmitter of pressure pipe connection completed by users themselves.The differential pressure transmitter can form a complete set of supplies.
3, installation is a size product factory has the differential pressure transmitter, three valve group and V cone sensors connected into an organic whole, after users buy a cone shape V, don't need to join again when using pressure tube.For matching the corresponding flow integrator, pressure transmitter and temperature transmitter can form a complete set of supplies.

Eight, functional analysis:
1, throttling features a unique gradually the local contraction of formation fluid, pressure loss is small.
Taper cone throttling components one by one and make the fluid axisymmetric towards the tube wall, gradually shrink, which formed gradually annular contraction.Contract in circulation area of fluid has been gradually accelerated at the same time.Due to the sharp cone axis in the center of the pipe.To make it more efficient effect on the velocity distribution of the central area, and along the cone profile and clearance between pipe wall is without stop.So its role than throttling orifice plate is smaller, the flow capacity than the orifice plate.
Outflow coefficient C of typical values: cone flowmeter is O.80, orifice is O.60.
Due to shrinkage has realized gradually, gradually spread way of side wall throttling, under the same flow rate, the differential value of about half of the orifice differential pressure value.Due to the differential pressure is small, * natural small pressure loss.In the reasonable design, pressure loss of the * at about a quarter of the pressure loss of the orifice meter * (or smaller), so the energy consumption is small.
If according to the known of all kinds of throttle type differential pressure flow meter calculation formula of pressure loss.Found v cone of low pressure loss than the loss of pressure of orifice plate, slightly more than the loss of pressure nozzle.Under the same flow rate, pressure loss of the cone flowmeter * value less than one half of pressure loss of the orifice plate * values.In addition, also should be from the aspects of background noise in order to understａnd the loss of pressure cone flowmeter: smaller on the downstream side of the cone will form a high speed, high turbulent flow and low pressure area containing small vortex.These small vortex pressure in hole can form the pressure fluctuation signal of high frequency low-rising, this low-rising will form the differential pressure fluctuation signal of the output signal of low noise background noise.Due to the differential output signal in the background noise is small, low differential pressure value can be effectively detected.Take pressure and orifice flowmeter hole forming low frequency high pressure signal, it is not easy to measure.So, relative to the orifice flowmeter, v cone in the design, the designer can choose low differential pressure limit value.Due to the differential value of small, small pressure loss of the * value natural.So compared with the orifice, energy fees will be much smaller.
2, the cone with functions of automatic rectification
V pointed cone of fluid velocity distribution have automatic adjustment function.In an open flow of pipeline, the velocity distribution in a convex shape.Upstream of the pipes will affect the distortion velocity distribution and velocity distribution.V-shaped cone scatter fluid flow in the profile, so that the velocity distribution is more flat.Orifice plate center deflating, suddenly, all of a sudden dispersive throttling, it will only further strengthen the velocity distribution in the convex shape.And deflating cone is a side wall, reducing the divergent type throttle, it can weaken the velocity distribution in the convex shape.In essence, v-shaped pointed cone role as it itself is a flow regulator.It's quite a strong flow adjustment function have been confirmed by the lO for many years a large number of experimental tests, more zui new according to the American petroleum institute, oil measurement standards manual (5.7) API MPMS requirement on the standardization of open test is confirmed.
3, the protection function
Cone profile ensures that no fluid directly suddenly hit its downstream edge.Fluid is along the conical silhouette gradually to the inner wall of pipeline caused by contraction of throttling element.Fluid flow boundary layer automatically protect the key determinants of equivalent diameter ratio B value dimension dv, reduce wear and tear, can ensure the reliability of the meter, so can reduce the maintenance workload and prolong the verification period.Orifice meter fluid is the direct impact of orifice plate, thus the size of the orifice plate precision is not easy to remain stable.
4, noise reduction function
The cone's unique profile has the function of inhibition of differential pressure signal in noise.Unique structure of the cone (in between v pointed cone and its downstream of trailing cone is a small acute Angle) makes the fluid before entering the downstream of the low pressure area has a smooth transition.On the downstream side of the cone to form a high speed, high turbulent flow and low pressure area containing small vortex.On these small vortex pressure in hole can form the pressure fluctuation signal of high frequency low-rising, this low-rising will form the differential pressure fluctuation signal of the output signal of low noise background noise,.And other throttle type differential pressure flow meter (e.g., orifice plate), on the throttling parts, downstream has considerable vortex, so these large vortex in its take high pressure hole can form low frequency amplitude of pressure fluctuation signals, the high amplitude will form the differential pressure fluctuation signal of the output signal of high background noise.By garlic street cone with functions of noise reduction, the differential output signal in the background noise is small, so the cone flowmeter can measure the pressure, uninteresting facts can effectively measure the flow, so that the range than widened.Due to the differential output signal in the background noise is small, so the design of conical flow time, allow choose low differential pressure limit value.Due to the differential pressure is small, small pressure loss of the natural, so energy consumption is small.
5, self cleaning function
No dead Angle in the fluid flow path.As long as the continuous use it, in its internal there can be no fluid/gas/solid particles.Fluid in the entrained droplets, bubbles and solid particles are completely automatic cleaning to the downstream piping.The orifice meter in orifice plate front is prone to a corner and deposition.
6, the mixed function
The cone has the function of mixer.When the fluid flows through the cone of heterogeneous heterogeneous flow experience mixed into homogeneous fluid by itself, and by V cone efficient flow measurement.And orifice through circulation area change, just put the fluid acceleration, no mixing action.Due to the unique profile of cone and its position in the center of the pipe axis make v inner cone throttling device has convergent divergent side wall of the small shrinkage, low background noise signal, zui wear (since), flow adjustment (since the rectifier), self cleaning, self mixing and other unique features and effectively interact with the center of the high-speed fluid velocity distribution.This can make it in a unique way to measure the rate of flow of fluid, with excellent technical characteristics.
