In the process of using the steam flowmeter, we may encounter some minor failures, do not panic after the problem, find out how to deal with is the key. The following introduces several common faults of steam flowmeters and their solutions.
Vortex flowmeter is the use of fluid flowing through the obstruction to produce a stable vortex, by measuring the vortex generation frequency II to achieve flow measurement. Vortex flowmeter is composed of vortex flow sensor and flow display instrument. The display instrument is a general flow display instrument. The following introduces the installation points of steam flowmeter.
Vortex flowmeter is a velocity flowmeter, which measures the volume flow rate in the working state. If you choose the table according to the volume flow rate, the mass flow rate provided by the customer should be converted into the volume flow rate under the working state, and then determine the diameter of the selected instrument against the volume flow parameter.
1. Vibration effect
Compressed air is generated by air compressor or high pressure fan. When these devices are in operation, they all have varying degrees of vibration, and sometimes the vibration is relatively strong, and this vibration is transmitted through the connecting pipe. When selecting and determining the position of the vortex flowmeter, this influencing factor should be fully considered. In various detection methods, the anti-vibration performance of the instrument is not the same due to different detection components. For the vortex street of the detection element, the vibration resistance can reach 0.5~1G. When determining the installation position of the vortex flowmeter, it should be as far away from the power equipment such as air compressors and fans as possible.
At present, there are many misunderstandings about steam measurement in China, and many users often think that buying a high-price flowmeter can get accurate measurement results. The measurement of steam is different from other fluids such as water, air and other media, and there are many factors affecting its measurement in the actual measurement. Therefore, there is often a phenomenon that the flow meter itself is qualified, but the actual measurement is not “allowed”. So what’s the problem with these factors?
1, pulse vortex flowmeter is a kind of high measurement accuracy, simple installation, small maintenance, a wide range of meters, is currently widely used in petrochemical, metallurgy, textile, urban construction, energy and other industries.
Vortex flowmeter is widely used in various industrial environments, in view of some small problems commonly encountered in the installation of vortex flowmeter, Aister gives the following points, hoping to solve the problems encountered in the installation.
The working principle of vortex flowmeter is to place a non-streamlined vortex generator in the fluid, so that the fluid is alternately separated on both sides of the generator, releasing two series of regularly staggered vortex flowmeter. In a certain range, the vortex separation frequency is proportional to the flow rate, and the vortex flowmeter can measure the flow rate of the medium by calculating the vortex separation frequency.
Vortex flowmeter is a commonly used flow meter, the use of any instrument is inseparable from daily maintenance and maintenance, whether it is its own failure or interference by external factors, we calmly respond to the occurrence of failure.
Vortex flowmeter is widely used because of its wide range, small pressure loss, medium accuracy, linear output, no moving parts, high reliability, small maintenance, medium low price, relatively high performance and price characteristics.
In the process of diameter selection of vortex flowmeter, special attention should be paid to the fact that the diameter of vortex flowmeter cannot be selected according to the original pipe diameter on site. The diameter of the vortex flowmeter should be determined according to the parameters in the pipeline such as the flow range of the medium in the pipeline, working temperature and working pressure, and then combined with the technical parameters of the vortex flowmeter.
Vortex flowmeter common faults and solutions
Technical requirements and precautions for measuring natural gas with precession vortex flow meter
Vortex flowmeter is a new flowmeter successfully developed on the basis of Karman vortex principle. Vortex flowmeter is suitable for measuring the mass flow and volume flow of superheated steam, saturated steam, compressed air, general gas, water and low corrosive liquid. How to ensure the accuracy of vortex flowmeter measurement during installation?
There are often some error factors in the calibration and use of flowmeter coefficient, which affect the accuracy of gas metering. The following are the factors that affect the accuracy of the steam flowmeter.
As a very special medium, steam will show special phenomena and problems in the process of vortex flowmeter measurement. The key problem is that the vapor density value deviates too much from the design value, which brings significant measurement errors to the measurement results. At present, the mature density measuring instrument has not been successfully applied, which brings certain difficulties to the steam flow measurement.
The vortex flowmeter has a flow meter in the pipeline without output. The reasons for this failure and the corresponding solutions are as follows:
1. After power-on, there is fluid flow in the pipeline, but the vortex flowmeter has no signal output

Vortex flowmeter is a kind of instrument device to measure the flow of pipeline fluid, and it works by the principle of velocity vortex. Vortex flowmeter has two kinds of volume and mass flow measurement, which can be selected according to the situation of the field.
The structure of the vortex flowmeter is relatively simple, only the sensor and the display instrument are composed of two parts, and the measurement accuracy and stability are also relatively stable.

The insertion vortex flowmeter is mainly used for the flow measurement of large-diameter gas, liquid and steam medium in industrial pipelines. In order to ensure the accuracy of its measurement, the following points should be noted when installing:
The split vortex flowmeter is a kind of flowmeter suitable for measuring steam at high temperature, which can avoid the influence of interfering signals on the measurement of the instrument. So what are the characteristics of the split vortex flowmeter?
