5 main points of vortex flow meter selection

With the continuous production progress of the reform and opening up industry, it has been applied in more and more industries, and the vortex flowmeter is widely used in large, medium and small pipeline water supply and drainage, industrial circulation, and sewage treatment.

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.

In chemical processing plants, vortex flow meters play a crucial role in measuring the flow of corrosive or abrasive liquids. Their resistance to harsh chemical environments, combined with their ability to offer accurate readings even in challenging conditions, makes them valuable assets for ensuring the efficiency and safety of chemical processes. The meters’ capability to handle different fluid types and maintain accuracy contributes to their widespread adoption in chemical industries.

Measuring media： Steam, compressed air, liquid (single phase media)

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.

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.

Vortex flowmeter is a new type flowmeter for measuring fluid flow in closed pipeline according to Karman vortex principle. It is mainly used for the flow measurement of industrial pipeline medium fluids, such as gas, liquid, vapor and other media. It is characterized by small pressure loss, large range, high accuracy, and is almost not affected by fluid density, pressure, temperature, viscosity and other parameters when measuring volume flow under working conditions.

Vortex flowmeter is mainly used to set up a vortex generating body (resistance fluid) in the fluid, from both sides of the vortex generating body alternately to produce regular vortices, to measure the flow of fluid, vortex flowmeter is mainly used for industrial pipeline fluid flow measurement, such as gas, liquid, steam and other media. It is characterized by small pressure loss, large range, high accuracy, and is almost not affected by fluid density, pressure, temperature, viscosity and other parameters when measuring volume flow under working conditions. In daily use, the output signal may be unstable, causing this phenomenon to be excluded from the following points:

Vortex flowmeter is also known as Karman vortex flowmeter. Vortex flowmeter is a kind of separation flowmeter made by using the principle of natural oscillation of fluid. When a fluid flows at a sufficiently large velocity through an object perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, if the object is of appropriate size, it will produce a neatly aligned and reversed vortex train behind the object along two parallel lines.

When selecting the right air flow meter product, a number of factors need to be considered to ensure that the selected product can meet the actual needs and has good performance. Here is a detailed buying guide to help you choose the best air flowmeter:

Vortex flowmeters are versatile instruments commonly used in various industries for fluid flow measurement. Here are some applications of vortex flowmeters in different industries:

There are many types of flow meters for measuring nitrogen, and each type has its specific application scenarios and advantages. Here are some common nitrogen flowmeters:

Precession vortex flowmeter without mechanical moving parts, small size, corrosion resistance, stable performance; It can directly display the working pressure, temperature, flow rate and gas volume under standard state of the medium; With the advantages of wide measuring range and small measuring error, the precession vortex flowmeter has been widely used in the production measurement of oil and gas Wells and the sales measurement of natural gas.

The precession vortex flowmeter adopts advanced microprocessing technology, which has the advantages of strong function, wide flow range, simple operation and maintenance, convenient installation and use.

Vortex flowmeters are suitable for measuring the mass flow and volume flow of superheated steam, saturated steam, compressed air, general gas, water and low corrosive liquids. We often encounter the following failures in the use of vortex flowmeters:

Vortex flowmeter is based on the Karman vortex street principle, which is mainly performed by setting a non-streamlined vortex generator (resistance fluid) in the flowing fluid, and alternately producing two columns of regular vortices from both sides of the vortex generator.

The installation of the vortex flowmeter has different provisions, used to measure different measured media, different positions, then the installation method is not the same, the attention point is different, generally speaking, the vortex flowmeter has the following specified points:

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 mainly used for the flow measurement of industrial pipeline medium fluids, such as gas, liquid, steam and other media. There are special phenomena and problems in the process of measurement. One of the key problems 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 density measurement instrument with mature technology has not been successfully applied, which brings certain difficulties to the steam flow measurement.

Accuracy is another significant advantage of vortex flow meters. With advancements in technology, modern vortex flow meters can provide precise and repeatable measurements even in challenging flow conditions. This high level of accuracy makes them indispensable for applications where tight control over fluid flow rates is critical, such as in chemical manufacturing or custody transfer operations in the oil and gas industry.

Vortex flowmeter is used by many industries for its simple structure, small maintenance, constant accuracy, easy operation and wide application range.

Vortex steam flowmeter is one of the main flowmeter products, widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, heating and other departments. Test and measure the flow of liquid, gas and steam.
