Common faults and treatment in the use of ultrasonic flowmeter

Ultrasonic flowmeter is a non-contact instrument. It can not only measure the medium flow of large pipe diameter, but also measure the medium that is difficult to contact and observe. The measurement accuracy is very high, and it is rarely affected by various parameters of the test medium. In particular, it can solve the flow measurement problems of strong corrosive, vision, radioactivity and flammable and explosive media that other instruments cannot do.

Common faults and treatment in the use of ultrasonic flowmeter

Failure phenomenon: The instantaneous flowmeter fluctuates greatly.
⑴ Cause of failure: large fluctuations in signal strength; large fluctuations in the measured fluid itself.
⑵Processing method: adjust the probe position and increase the signal strength (maintain above 3%). Ensure the signal strength is stable. If the fluid fluctuates greatly, the position is not good. Re-select the points to ensure the working conditions of the first 10D and the 5D.
Failure phenomenon: Low signal of external clamp ultrasonic flowmeter.
⑴Cause of failure: The pipe diameter is too large or the pipe fouls seriously or the installation method is wrong.
⑵ Treatment method: Use plug-in probes for those with too large pipe diameter and serious scaling. Re-select the installation method.
Failure phenomenon: The signal of the plug-in probe decreases after a period of use.
⑴Cause of failure: The probe may be offset or the scale on the probe surface may be thick.
⑵ Treatment method: readjust the probe position. Clear the emitting surface of the probe.
Trouble phenomenon: No display when booting.
⑴Cause of failure: The power supply attribute does not correspond to the rated value of the instrument or the fuse is blown.
⑵ Treatment method: Check whether the power supply attribute corresponds to the rated value of the instrument. Whether the fuse is blown. If the above problems are not found, notify the factory professionals to deal with.
Trouble phenomenon: The instrument has only backlight and no character display after power on.
⑴Cause of failure: Generally, the program chip is missing.
⑵ Treatment method: notify the factory professionals to deal with.
Failure phenomenon: Ultrasonic flow meter cannot be used under strong interference on site.
⑴ The cause of the fault: The power supply has a large fluctuation range, or there are frequency converters or strong magnetic field interference or the grounding wire is incorrect.

Turbine Insertion Flow Meter Working Principle

The plug-in turbine flowmeter is a new domestic velocity flowmeter. The turbine head, detection coil, etc. are designed as a combined plug-in. Because of its small size, the installation hole is also small. Therefore, a ball valve can be used to solve the problem of closing the installation hole.

More ingeniously, the insertion rod is made into a trapezoidal screw. When you need to remove it, you don’t need to stop the water. You can first rotate the trapezoidal screw to gradually raise the turbine head. After passing the upper ball valve, rotate the handle of the ball valve to close the pipeline. You can continue to spin up the turbine until it is removed. After installation and reset, proceed in reverse order. The same can be achieved without stopping the water.

The impeller inserted into the detection head of the plug-in turbine flowmeter is rotated by the fluid. The magnetic resistance of the magnetic circuit of the detection coil is periodically changed. The magnetic flux in the detection coil is periodically changed. Therefore, electric pulses are induced in the detection coil. Flow signal. The frequency f (times/second) of this signal is proportional to the volumetric flow Q (m3l second) flowing through the pipeline. The proportional coefficient is the meter coefficient K of the sensor, so f=K”Q.

The electrical pulse signal is amplified by the preamplifier and sent to the secondary instrument. Its waveform is rectangular pulse. After further enlargement and shaping, it is divided into two ways.

Send coefficient conversion circuit all the way. Then the power amplifier is sent to the totalizer. Obtain the cumulative volume flow. The other way sends the frequency dividing circuit. Then output 0~10mA (or 4~20mA) current signal through frequency/current conversion. At the same time, the instantaneous flow rate is displayed on the secondary meter.

More about Turbine Flow Meters

What is a turbine flow meter?

A turbine flow meter is a volume sensing device. As liquid or gas passes through the turbine housing, it causes the freely suspended turbine blades to rotate. The velocity of the turbine rotor is directly proportional to the velocity of the fluid passing through the flow meter.

The external pickoff mounted on the body of the flow meter, senses each rotor blade passing, causing the sensor to generate a frequency output. The frequency is directly proportional to the volume of the liquid or gas.

Extended reading: Quantitative control with turbine flowmeter

What is the principle of turbine flow meter?

Gas turbine flow meter working principle

The gas turbine flowmeter uses a turbine for measurement. It first converts the flow rate into the rotational speed of the turbine, and then converts the rotational speed into an electrical signal proportional to the flow rate.

Gas turbine flowmeter is used to detect instantaneous flow and total integrated flow. Its output signal is frequency, which is easy to digitize.

The induction coil and the permanent magnet are fixed on the housing together. When the ferromagnetic turbine blade passes the magnet, the reluctance of the magnetic circuit changes, thereby generating an induction signal.

The signal is amplified and reshaped by the amplifier and sent to the counter or frequency meter. The total accumulated flow is displayed. At the same time, the pulse frequency undergoes frequency-voltage conversion to indicate instantaneous flow.

The speed of the impeller is proportional to the flow, and the number of revolutions of the impeller is proportional to the total amount of flow. The output of the turbine flowmeter is a frequency modulated signal. It not only improves the anti-interference of the detection circuit, but also simplifies the flow detection system.

The gas turbine flowmeter has a turndown ratio of up to 10:1, and the accuracy is within ±0.2%. The time constant of the turbine flowmeter with small inertia and small size can reach 0.01 second.

Liquid Turbine Flow Meter Working Principle

Liquid Turbine Flow Meter is a speed type flow meter based on the principle of torque balance.

The fluid flows through the sensor housing. Because the blades of the impeller have a certain angle with the flow direction. The impulse of the fluid makes the blades have a rotational torque. After the friction torque and fluid resistance are overcome, the blades rotate. The speed is stable after the torque is balanced.

Under certain conditions, the speed is proportional to the flow rate.

Due to the magnetic permeability of the blade, it is in the magnetic field of the signal detector (composed of permanent magnets and coils). The rotating blade cuts the magnetic lines of force. The magnetic flux of the coil is periodically changed. Electrical pulse signals are induced at both ends of the coil.

This signal is amplified and reshaped by an amplifier. A continuous rectangular pulse wave with a certain amplitude is formed. It can be transmitted to the display instrument remotely. The instantaneous flow or total amount of the fluid is displayed.

Within a certain flow range, the pulse frequency f is proportional to the instantaneous flow Q of the fluid flowing through the sensor. The flow equation is:

Where:
f——Pulse frequency [Hz]
k——The meter coefficient of the sensor [1/m3], which is given by the calibration sheet.
Q——The instantaneous flow of fluid (under working condition) [m3/h]
3600-conversion factor in seconds

The meter coefficient of each sensor is filled in the verification certificate by the manufacturer. The k value is set in the matching display instrument. The instantaneous flow and cumulative total can be displayed.

Cannot maintain calibration characteristics for a long time.

Types of turbine flow meter

Generally speaking, according to the measuring medium, we can divide the turbine flowmeter into liquid turbine flowmeter and gas flowmeter.

Of course, according to the function of the turbine flowmeter, we can divide the turbine flowmeter into a basic turbine flowmeter and an intelligent turbine flowmeter.

Basic turbine flowmeter

The turbine sensor itself does not have the on-site display function, and only transmits the flow signal remotely.
The flow signal can be divided into pulse signal or current signal.
Low price, high integration, small size, especially suitable for use with secondary display, PLC, DCS and other computer control systems.

Intelligent turbine flowmeter

Intelligent turbine flowmeter, a display integrated instrument developed by combining turbine flow sensor and advanced ultra-low power single-chip microcomputer technology.
It has the advantages of compact structure, high reliability, resistance to external power supply interference, lightning protection, and low cost.
Three-point correction of instrument coefficients can be carried out on site, and nonlinearity of instrument coefficients can be intelligently compensated.
Simultaneously display instantaneous flow, cumulative flow, temperature, pressure and other measurement parameters.
It has real-time data storage function and explosion-proof function.
Especially suitable for use with PLC, DCS and other computer control systems.

What is k factor in turbine flow meter?

K-factor (K value) is a factor calculated by calibrating and comparing the meter with other measuring devices that meet the accuracy requirements before putting it into use.
This coefficient is a fixed value, which is the actual coefficient obtained by the flowmeter manufacturer for each meter after verification, and has nothing to do with the initial design.

There are two kinds of different manufacturers k:
One is k=f/Q, which is the number of vortices generated by du unit flow;
The other k=Q/f, that is, each vortex corresponds to the flow rate of Zhuan.
The k value is calibrated with factory water. The sensor measures the vortex number of the instrument and compares it with the volume flow measured by the calibration device to obtain the k value.

The k value is actually related to the internal mechanical structure of the flow meter measuring tube.

What Are Gas Turbine Flow Meter?

When the fluid flows into the Gas Turbine Flow Meter, it is rectified and accelerated under the action of a dedicated integrated rectifier for the air inlet. Since the turbine blades are at a certain angle to the fluid flow direction, the angular velocity of the turbine is proportional to the fluid volume flow at this time.

According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, a magnetic sensor is used to induce a pulse signal proportional to the volume flow of the fluid from the coaxial rotating signal wheel. The signal is amplified, filtered, and reshaped and enters the intelligent flow totalizer together with the temperature and pressure sensor signals. The micro-processing unit of the instrument performs arithmetic processing. The volume flow and total flow of the gas are directly displayed on the LCD screen.

What is Vortex Flow?

When a fluid moves through a stationary object (“bluff body”) with a high Reynolds number, the fluid becomes a vortex on either side of the object.
Each vortex will form, then separate from the object and continue to move with the flowing gas or liquid, once twisted in an alternating manner.
This phenomenon is called vortex rotation, and the pattern of moving vortices carried downstream of a stationary object is called vortex street.

How does a vortex flow meter work?

Vortex Flow Meter Working Principle

Vortex flowmeter is a speed-type flowmeter produced according to karman’s vortex principle,
which can be used for the measurement and measurement of conventional gas, steam and
liquid.

Vortex flow sensor has high precision and wide range ratio, no moving parts in use, which can
improve mechanical stability and reduce maintenance.Vortex flowmeter is almost not affected by the temperature, pressure and composition of medium when measuring the volume of working condition.

Therefore, it is convenient to calibrate the instrument, so vortex street flow sensor is widely used in production and life.

When a trigonal column vortex generator is set in the fluid, regular vortices are generated alternately on both sides of the vortex generator, which is called Carmen vortex.

The vortex columns are arranged asymmetrically downstream of the vortex generator. Vortex flowmeter is produced according to this principle.

Vortexes are generated by generating bodies and the number of vortexes is detected by high-sensitivity sensors. In a certain range, the number of vortexes generated is proportional to the flow rate.

In vortex flowmeter, the relationship between flow rate and the number of vortexes generated
can be expressed by the following formula：

Types of vortex flow meter

Depending on the mounting style, the types of vortex flow meters include:

Insertion flow meter
Each insertion type of vortex flow meter consists of a built-in bluff body and three sensors, namely one sensor to record the vortex shedding frequency, an RTD temperature sensor, and a solid-state pressure sensor. These components are located in close proximity to each other in a short tube and together they form an assembly called an insertion sensor head. The sensor probe is inserted carefully into a hole made into the pipeline using flanged or male NPT process connections.

This flow meter is also provided an LCD display and keypad to program and monitor the system settings. The insertion flow meter used in pipes which are 2 inches or larger. Since it is a retractable meter, there is no need to shut down the system to take the required measurements.

Inline flow meter
An Inline flow meter is similar to the insertion flow meter in terms of its components. It also has a bluff body and three sensors to register the vortex shedding frequency, temperature, and pressure. It differs from an insertion flow meter in that it replaces a part of the pipeline and not inserted through it.

Classified by connection method

The connection mode of vortex flowmeter and pipeline can be divided into flange connection type and flange clamping type. These two connection types have their own advantages.

The flange connection type connects the vortex street meter body and the flange into a whole, which is easy to install. But it increases the machining cost for the manufacturer. For different pressure levels, flanges with different pressure levels need to be cast and smelted. The user needs to install the matching anti-flange on the pipe during installation.

However, the flange-mounted flowmeter has no bulky flanges at both ends, which is relatively light. On the premise of ensuring the sealing surface and mechanical strength requirements, it is enough to only manufacture the flangeless surface.

When users use it, they can choose flanges with different pressure levels according to different working pressures. Connect it with bolts, and then directly weld to the pipe.

Where are vortex flow meters used?

The vortex flowmeter is mainly used in the flow measurement of industrial pipeline medium fluid. The medium can be gas, liquid, steam, etc. The main scope of action includes:

During industrial production, such as metallurgy, coal, electric power, chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental protection and other manufacturing;
Energy measurement. Including the scientific measurement of primary and secondary energy. Such as coal, petroleum gas, natural gas, etc., to achieve energy saving and reduce consumption;
Environmental protection engineering. Including flow measurement of flue gas, sewage, etc.;
Transportation. Including pipeline transportation for control, distribution and scheduling, and better economic accounting through measurement results.

Vortex flow meter advantages and disadvantages

1.Advantages of vortex flowmeter

(1) The vortex flowmeter has no moving parts, and the measuring element has a simple structure, reliable performance and long service life.

(2) The vortex flowmeter has a wide measuring range. The turndown ratio can generally reach 1:10.

(3) The volume flow of the vortex flowmeter is not affected by thermal parameters such as the temperature, pressure, density or viscosity of the fluid being measured. Generally, no separate calibration is required. It can measure the flow of liquid, gas or steam.

(4) The pressure loss it causes is small.

(5) The accuracy is high, the repeatability is 0.5%, and the maintenance is small.

2.Disadvantages of vortex flowmeter

(1) The volume flow of the vortex flowmeter is not affected by the temperature, pressure, density and other thermal parameters of the measured fluid. But the final measurement result of liquid or steam should be mass flow, and for gas, the final measurement result should be standard volume flow. Both mass flow or standard volume flow must be converted by fluid density. The changes in fluid density caused by changes in fluid operating conditions must be considered.

(2) The main factors that cause flow measurement errors are: measurement errors caused by uneven pipeline flow rates; it is impossible to accurately determine the medium density when the fluid working condition changes. The wet saturated steam is assumed to be dry saturated steam for measurement. If these errors are not limited or eliminated, the total measurement error of the vortex flowmeter will be very large.

(3) Poor vibration resistance. External vibration can cause measurement errors of the vortex flowmeter, or even fail to work normally. The high-velocity impact of the channel fluid will cause additional vibrations to the cantilever of the vortex generator, which reduces the measurement accuracy. The influence of large pipe diameter is more obvious.

(4) Poor adaptability to measuring dirty media. The generating body of the vortex flowmeter is very easy to be dirty by the medium or entangled by the dirt, and the change of the geometric body size has a great influence on the measurement accuracy.

(5) High requirements for straight pipe sections. Experts pointed out that the straight pipe section of the vortex flowmeter must ensure the front 40D and the 20D to meet the measurement requirements.

(6) Poor temperature resistance. Vortex flowmeters generally can only measure the fluid flow of media below 300°C.

Insertion vortex flow meter installation

1.Continuous flow dismountable sensor

①The mounting seat is welded well. First install the ball valve on the mounting seat, tighten and seal with bolts;

②Open the ball valve. Insert the vortex probe into the ball valve. Then tighten the lifting mechanism and the ball valve with bolts. Pay attention to sealing;

③Before leaving the factory. The insertion depth of the measuring head has been adjusted. Do not adjust or disassemble the measuring head at will. Otherwise, it may cause leakage or affect measurement accuracy.

2. Dismountable sensor after the current is cut off

Because the insertion depth of the sensor is designed according to the user’s measuring pipe diameter. So only pay attention to the installation direction when installing. Fasten it with bolts.

What is the principle of vortex Steam flow meter?

Or, How steam flow is measured?
How is the steam flow rate calculated?

The basic principle of the intelligent vortex flowmeter, is the Karman vortex principle. That is “the vortex separation frequency is proportional to the flow velocity”.

The diameter of the flowmeter body is basically the same as the nominal diameter of the meter. The axis of the cylinder is perpendicular to the flow direction of the measured medium, and the bottom surface greets the fluid.

When the measured medium flows through the cylinder, Vortex is alternately generated on both sides of the column, and the vortex is continuously generated and separated.

In the downstream of the column, two rows of vortices, namely “vortex street”, are formed. Theoretical analysis and experiments have shown, that the frequency of vortex separation is proportional to the flow rate of the column side medium.

f=(sr*V)/d

In the formula:

F── the frequency of the vortex separation of the column side (Hz);

V── column side flow rate (m/s);

D── the width of the cylinder facing surface (m);

Sr ─ Strauhal number.

It is a constant that is substantially independent of fluid properties, and flow rate depending on the shape of the cross-section of the cylinder.

Temperature and pressure compensation of vortex steam flowmeter

Gases are compressed fluids. If its volume state has changed. It is mainly caused by changes in temperature and pressure indicators.

In the process of measuring the gas flow, on the one hand, the flowmeter must be able to accurately output the standard volume flow. On the other hand, the output of mass flow is also required.

And the vortex flowmeter is used to measure the volume flow. It is necessary to ensure that the measurement is carried out in the environment of the working condition. Therefore, the vortex flowmeter is used in the measurement process of general gas and steam. The temperature and pressure compensation function should be fully considered. And make a reasonable instrument selection.

After temperature and pressure compensation, the volume flow of the working condition can be converted into a mass flow. Or it is converted into other volume flow, that is, the standard volume flow.

For general gases during measurement. The compensation principle is to calculate according to the formula, which belongs to the standard gas state equation:

P0V0/T0= P1V1/T1.

where:
The absolute pressure (Pa) in the standard state represented by P0;
The absolute pressure (Pa) in the working state represented by P1;
T0 represents the thermodynamic temperature (K) in the standard environment;
T1 represents the thermodynamic temperature (K) under working conditions;
V0 represents the gas volume in the standard environment;
V1 is the gas volume in the operating state.

Extended reading: How to realize the flow accumulation function in PLC?

During the steam measurement. The work that needs to be done is the compensation of saturated steam. There are two methods of application, one is pressure compensation and the other is temperature compensation.

There are usually two specific compensation modes.

That is, if the vortex flowmeter sensor does not have a temperature detection element and built-in pressure. Static compensation can only be implemented inside the instrument. That is to say, the compensation is realized by inputting the fixed pressure value and temperature value. This mode is more suitable for occasions without large temperature and pressure changes.

If the vortex flowmeter sensor has a temperature detection element and built-in pressure. The meter takes into account the results of the measured temperature and pressure. Master the state of steam. Determine which type of steam is superheated steam or saturated steam.

For mass flow, the calculation method needs to obtain the steam database index stored in the instrument and implement intelligent calculation. The other is to use the steam flow totalizer. in the steam flow totalizer. The volume flow and temperature of the working conditions measured by the transmission vortex flowmeter. And to transmit the signal measured by the pressure transmitter.

The steam flow totalizer has built-in superheated steam and saturated steam compensation algorithms. Can accurately output mass flow and standard volume flow. Moreover, the heat and specific enthalpy can be output correctly.

Steam Flow Meter Types

Commonly used flow meters for steam flow measurement include: differential pressure flow meters, vortex flow meters, rotary wing steam flow meters, V cone flow meters, elbow flow meters, and flute-shaped uniform velocity tube flow meters. These steam flow meters work principles and The usage requirements are different.

Sino-Inst shares the knowledge of these steam flow meters with you.

In the measurement of steam flow, the differential pressure flowmeter still ranks first. It is based on authoritative standards and has test pieces that are easy to copy. The structure is simple, firm, reliable, and has a long service life. The usable temperature and pressure range is wide. Low price, no need for real flow calibration and other advantages.

Extended Reading: Advantages and disadvantages of differential pressure flow meter

The complete set of differential pressure flow meters is composed of standard throttling devices, differential pressure transmitters and flow totalizers from different manufacturers, so it is flexible and convenient to use.

The differential pressure flowmeter is especially suitable for measuring high temperature, high pressure saturated steam and superheated steam.

Differential pressure flow meters also have shortcomings. Such as: installation is more complicated, easy to leak, maintenance and disassembly labor intensive. The turndown ratio is only 3:1, and the pressure loss is large. Due to changes in the measurement conditions during use, the process parameters deviate from the design values, which will cause larger measurement errors.

Extended reading: Integral DP Flow Meter|Gas, liquid, steam|Compact structure

The vortex flowmeter has a simple structure and does not need a pressure guiding tube. The measurement range is large, and the turndown ratio can reach 10:1. The advantages of small pressure loss, etc., account for an increasing proportion of saturated steam flow measurement. The installation difficulty is similar to the orifice plate, and it has certain requirements for straight pipe sections.

Vortex flowmeters also have disadvantages. For example, regular verification cannot be done by general users and needs to be removed for inspection. Its stability is affected by the flow rate, and the stress-type vortex flowmeter is more sensitive to vibration and is susceptible to measurement errors due to the impact of pipeline or equipment vibration. Vortex flowmeters are also limited by temperature. Generally, it cannot exceed 500°C. The vortex flowmeter cannot be used to measure multiphase flow.

Rotary wing steam flowmeter has a wide range of applications in the measurement of saturated steam in small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a measuring instrument based on pure mechanical principles. It has simple structure, firmness and low maintenance. Only the inner orifice plate needs to be replaced to adjust the range. It also has the advantages of manual adjustment of pressure compensation, and no power supply.
But there are also shortcomings. Such as: straight pipe section has certain requirements. The adaptable range of pipe diameter is limited and can only be installed horizontally. The accuracy is not high, and manual meter reading is not convenient for measurement management.

Features of thermal gas mass flow meter:

The range of fluid media has been expanded: gas, gas and liquid, and liquid. Proprietary humidity algorithm software makes fluid flow measurement more accurate.
The replacement of the sensor does not require recalibration. The instrument adopts modular design, which realizes interchangeability and is easy to maintain.
Using Bluetooth and GPGS technology, it is convenient for on-site and remote monitoring and maintenance of the instrument.
Adopt “FLUD” proprietary fluid software technology to make the straight pipe section needed for instrument measurement shorter
No drift, maintenance-free, and high sensitivity.
When the product is installed and running, there is no need to use any measurement system as a reference standard for calibration.
Various functions are set up on site configuration.

The measuring principle of the V cone flowmeter is the same as that of the differential pressure flowmeter, and it is also a throttling differential pressure flowmeter.

When measuring gas flow and steam flow, the v-cone flowmeter measures high temperature and high pressure, and the flow of normal temperature and normal pressure media is a small expert in measurement.

The v-cone flowmeter is actually a differential pressure flowmeter, and the measurement flow is calculated by capturing the pressure difference before and after the throttling device. This is an internationally certified measuring throttling device. Even leaving the factory without calibration, the purpose of high-precision flow measurement can be achieved.

Extended reading: V-Cone Flow Meter Applications

The elbow flowmeter is an elbow with a fixed geometric size and a fixed shape. Its structure is simple, without any additional parts and throttling parts. Therefore, there is basically no pressure loss. The turndown ratio can reach 10:1. High precision, maintenance-free measuring device, long life, high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, vibration resistance, etc.

But there are also shortcomings. For example, the differential pressure generated by the measurement is relatively low, generally around 3000 Pa. Therefore, the selection requirements for differential pressure transmitters are relatively high. When measuring steam flow, temperature and pressure compensation are still required.

The flute-shaped uniform velocity tube flowmeter is based on the pitot tube velocity measurement principle. It outputs a differential pressure signal. Used in conjunction with a differential pressure transmitter for measuring differential pressure. It can measure the flow of steam, liquid and gas. The structure is simple, the pressure loss is small, and the length of the upstream and downstream straight pipe sections is short. Easy to install, the range ratio can reach 10:1. It is resistant to high temperature and pressure, is not affected by abrasion, and has no leakage.

The flute-shaped average velocity tube flowmeter also has its shortcomings. If the on-site installation conditions are demanding, the differential pressure generated is small, and some are only 20-30Pa. Must be equipped with high-precision differential pressure transmitter.

Due to the structure, the flow rates of the pressure ports are different, and there is a certain pressure difference between the pressure ports. There is a flow of medium between the pressure holes. If there is a medium, it may be blocked and cause measurement errors. The fluid to be measured flows in the circular tube, and the pressure distribution caused by the circular tube is different when the fluid flows in due to the different separation points of the fluid. The flow coefficient is unstable and the flow is unstable.

Clamp on Steam Flow Meter

The clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter cannot measure steam. Generally, it measures the flow of medium such as water and uniform liquid.
The measurement of steam generally uses a temperature and pressure compensated vortex flowmeter or a differential pressure flowmeter.

Portable Steam Flow Meter

The FLUXUS G601 ST is the world’s ONLY clamp on steam meter! This device is able to measure steam flow non-invasively from outside the pipe which means that there is no interruption of operation or supply. This also means there is no pressure loss, need to open the pipe, or to reduce the pipe size for measurement.

In fact, different steam flow meters work differently.
Of course, the most commonly used is definitely the vortex flowmeter.
The steam flowmeter is a volumetric flowmeter that measures the volume flow of gas, steam or liquid, the volume flow of standard conditions or the mass flow according to the Kármán Vortex Street principle. And can be used as flow transmitter in automatic control system.

How is steam flow measured? Maybe everyone knows how to measure with a flowmeter. Because there are many types of flow meters on the market, I don’t know how to choose. There are measuring liquids, gases, slurries and so on.

First, the temperature of the steam is relatively high. We have to choose a flowmeter that can withstand high temperature to measure. For example: V cone, orifice plate, balance, vortex street, turbine can all be measured. Among them, the measuring caliber of V cone flowmeter is from DN15-DN2000. The range is also relatively wide, so it is also favored by the majority of users.

When choosing a flowmeter, you should confirm the working conditions of the site, the temperature and pressure range, the power supply is generally 220VAC, the default installation method is flange installation, the output signal is 4-20mA, and the range diameter should also be confirmed.

There are many types of flowmeter, those suitable for steam and condensate applications include:

Orifice plate flowmeters.
Turbine flowmeters (including shunt or bypass types).
Variable area flowmeters.
Spring loaded variable area flowmeters.
Direct in-line variable area (TVA) flowmeters.
Ultrasonic flowmeters.
Vortex shedding flowmeters

Each of these flowmeter types has its own advantages and limitations. To ensure accurate and consistent performance from a steam or condensate flowmeter, it is essential that it is correctly matched to the intended application.

Vortex Shedding Flow Meter Working Principle

Vortex flowmeter is a speed-type flowmeter produced according to karman’s vortex principle,
which can be used for the measurement and measurement of conventional gas, steam and
liquid.

Therefore, it is convenient to calibrate the instrument, so vortex street flow sensor is widely used in production and life.

When a trigonal column vortex generator is set in the fluid, regular vortices are generated alternately on both sides of the vortex generator, which is called Carmen vortex.

The vortex columns are arranged asymmetrically downstream of the vortex generator. Vortex flowmeter is produced according to this principle.

Vortexes are generated by generating bodies and the number of vortexes is detected by high-sensitivity sensors. In a certain range, the number of vortexes generated is proportional to the flow rate.

In vortex flowmeter, the relationship between flow rate and the number of vortexes generated
can be expressed by the following formula：

The formula of standard table method calibration coefficient K:

The formula can also be used for flow correction.

Applications of Vortex Shedding Flow Meter

Steam Flow Measurement

Steam has often been described as the ‘lifeblood’ of the industry.
Vortex meters are known to be superior devices for steam flow measurement, due to their inherent linear measurement, large turndown, low-pressure drop, and high accuracy.

The vortex flowmeter is ideal for high temperature, superheated, and saturated steam applications, since it eliminates the need for separate components and associated installation temperature.

In addition, it provides quality, dependability and high-pressure ratings,along with a stable and reliable flow measurement.

Liquid Applications

Liquid applications in the oil refinery industry become challenging, since the process liquid is a higher viscosity at lower process temperatures.

As a result, clogging becomes an issue when a flow meter has moving parts.

Sino-Instrument vortex meters have advanced self-diagnostics, that alert the operator if clogging or plugging in the area around the shedder bar are present.

Alerts are also triggered in high-vibration environments and those with excessive flow fluctuations in the area around the shedder bar. This enables automatic condition-based maintenance.

Installation for Industrial Vortex Flow Meter

Know more about vortex shedding flow meter:

A vortex flow meter is a flow measurement device best suited for flow measurements, where the introduction of moving parts presents problems.

They are available in industrial grade, brass or all plastic construction.

Sensitivity to variations in the process conditions are low, and with no moving parts have relatively low wear compared to other types of flow meters.

Vortex flow meters operate under the vortex shedding principle, where an oscillating vortexes occur, when a fluid such as water flow past a bluff (as opposed to streamlined) body.

The frequency that the vortexes are shed depend on the size and shape of the body.

It is ideal for applications where low maintenance costs are important.

Industrial size vortex meters are custom built and require appropriate sizing for specific applications.

The Vortex Shedding flow meter detects the vortices, that are created by a process medium going past a bluff body.

The frequency of these vortices can be equated into flow velocity, which, in turn, is used to calculate volumetric flow rate.

The integral temperature sensor is used in saturated steam service, to determine the operating conditions and specific volume of the steam being measured.

The steam table incorporated into the electronics, then calculates the flow or energy of the steam flowing through the meter.

The optional pressure sensor can be used for similar calculations, for gasses and superheated steam.

Intelligent Signal Processing (ISP) provides stable readings, free of external influences.

What are the applications of vortex flowmeter?

A vortex flowmeter can be used to measure the flow of various industrial water. Including chemical, light industry, electric power, metallurgy, building materials, petroleum and other industries in the production process of circulating water, wastewater, waste liquid measurement.
Part of the measurement of corrosive liquids, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, and other acids. And a variety of chemical solutions.
The flow measurement of non-conductive liquids. Electromagnetic flowmeter in the flow measurement of conductive liquids dominates, while in the field of non-conductive liquid flow measurement, vortex flowmeter has a great place to use. In the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, semiconductor industry, vortex flowmeter has also been more widely used, for example methanol, formaldehyde, acetone, toluene, trichloroethylene, ethylene, butane liquid ammonia, etc., and semiconductor industry pure water and ultra-clean pure water, etc..
Part of the low viscosity oil flow measurement, such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil, and heavy oil and residual oil flow measurement after the viscosity has been reduced by heating.
Large diameter pipeline water flow measurement, full pipe vortex flowmeter is mainly used to measure small and medium diameter water flow, while the insertion type vortex flowmeter can be used to measure the flow measurement of large diameter pipeline. Vortex flowmeter is widely used in urban water pipelines and chemical, electric power, metallurgy, paper, and chemical fiber, and other enterprises in the industrial water mainline.

Simply connect the communicator to an instrument to power it.

Technicians no longer waste time rounding up a power supply or confirming adequate loop resistance before testing,

speeding configuration on the bench.

Power the loop functionality allows device configuration in the field on new projects
—even before power and I/O infrastructure are in place.

Transmitter configuration no longer needs to be the last step of new projects.

Configure transmitters before the host system, wiring, piping,
and other project elements arrive,

keeping transmitter configuration from being a critical path item,

allowing more flexibility in new project scheduling and leading to faster startups.

Powering devices from the communicator,
allows you to isolate the device from the rest of the system,

helping you identify installation problems like power supply,
wiring, I/O card, and configuration issues.

Powerful Valve Diagnostics

Valve problems are particularly costly to diagnose and repair.

Field technicians are often required to pull a valve to investigate a problem,

and removing valves for inspection usually means shutting down the process.

Further complicating troubleshooting, technicians often need to disassemble the valve,

to determine the root cause of the problem.

This frequently leads to further damage to the valve,

ending in a more time consuming and expensive repair.

Using the ValveLink Mobile app on the Trex unit,

you can perform valve diagnostics in the field,

including valve signature, dynamic error band, PD one button sweep,

and step response,

without having to pull the valve or perform invasive troubleshooting steps.

ValveLink Mobile works with HART and Foundation Fieldbus Fisher® FIELDVUE™ digital valve controllers

and provides an intuitive user interface that is easy to understand and use.

The large touchscreen on the Trex communicator makes it easier

than ever to see all valve diagnostic details.

Diagnose Communication Problems

The Trex communicator can configure and troubleshoot Foundation Fieldbus devices,

and segments in your plant.

Use the communicator to create a quality segment,

by diagnosing the network DC voltage and average noise.

Detect power supply problems using the communicator’s power the loop functionality,

or by monitoring low-frequency noise on a segment.

You can also verify whether the DC voltage is correct in HART loops.

Take a quick look: How electromagnetic flowmeters work ?

Magnetic Water Flow Meter Applications

KLD electromagnetic water flowmeter can be used to measure the volume flow of conductive fluid in a closed pipeline. It is widely applied in the flow measurement and control in the fields of chemical and petroleum industry, metallurgy industry, water and wastewater, agriculture and irrigation, paper making, food and beverage industry and pharmaceutical industry.

The premise of using Magnetic Water Flow Meter is that the measured liquid must be conductive. The conductivity of the liquid cannot be lower than the threshold, the lower limit. If the conductivity is lower than the threshold, it will cause measurement error until it can not be used.

It can be measured even if the value exceeds the threshold, and the indication error does not change much. The threshold value of general electromagnetic flowmeter is between 10-4～(5×10-6)S/cm, depending on the model. It also depends on the length of the flow signal line between the sensor and the converter and its distributed capacitance. The product manual usually stipulates the signal line length corresponding to the conductivity.

Magnetic Water Flow Meter to Measure Waste Water

The sewage treatment process is mainly through biological oxidation, flocculation, precipitation and other processes to achieve the purpose of sewage purification. At each stage, a certain gauge is needed to measure.

In the sewage industry, according to the characteristics of the corrosiveness, abrasiveness, temperature and condensation of the tested substance and the price tolerance. Different lining and electrode materials should be selected.

In the sewage treatment process, it is necessary to configure corresponding detection instruments according to the process requirements to form a reliable control system.

Generally, sewage treatment plants are equipped with flow meters in the following process inspection procedures:

Water inlet pipe.
Detection of mud volume from primary settling tank to mud storage tank.
Detection of surplus and sludge flow in the sludge pump room.
Detection of the return sludge flow in the sludge pump room.
Detection of the effluent flow of the secondary settling tank distribution well.
Detection of the sludge intake of the digestion tank.
Digestion tank Mud output detection. 8. Flocculation tank reagent input detection, etc.

Magnetic Water Flow Meter to Measure Industrial Water

The conductivity of industrial water and its aqueous solution is greater than 10-4S/cm. The conductivity of acid, alkali and salt solution is between 10-4～10-1S/cm, so there is no problem in use. Low distilled water is 10-5S/cm and there is no problem.

The electromagnetic flowmeter cannot measure liquids with very low conductivity. Such as petroleum products and organic solvents. Cannot measure gas, steam and liquids containing more and larger bubbles.

It is found from the data that some pure liquids or aqueous solutions have low conductivity and are considered unusable. However, in actual work, we will encounter examples that can be used because of impurities. Such impurities are beneficial to increase conductivity.

For aqueous solutions, the conductivity in the data is measured in the laboratory with pure water ratio. The actual aqueous solution may be proportioned with industrial water. The conductivity will be higher than found, which is also conducive to flow measurement.
