Turbine flowmeter vertical installation points of attention

Equipment Configuration:Turbine flowmeter

Turbine flowmeter can be installed vertically, need to ensure that the fluid flows from the bottom upwards, no air bubbles, and the same direction as the arrow.

Project Overview

The turbine flowmeter can be installed vertically, but when installed vertically, the flow direction of the fluid must be from bottom to top. Make sure the liquid completely fills the pipe and there are no air bubbles, as air bubbles can affect the accuracy of the measurement. In addition, the direction of flow needs to be consistent with the direction of the arrow marked on the sensor housing. In order to ensure the accuracy of measurement, the following points should also be paid attention to during installation:

1. The fluid in the pipe must be full.

2. There should be sufficient straight pipe section at the upstream end, which is generally required to be at least 10 times the nominal diameter of the pipe to ensure smooth flow of fluid.

3. The inner wall of the pipe should be smooth and clean, avoiding dents, scale or peeling.

4. The pipe axis of the sensor should be aligned with the pipe axis.

5. Avoid placing the sensor close to external electric and magnetic fields, and take shielding measures if necessary to reduce interference.

6. It is recommended to install a bypass pipeline to facilitate maintenance without stopping the fluid delivery.

6. If the fluid contains impurities, a filter should be installed; if the fluid contains free gas, a gas eliminator needs to be installed.

7. Consider the corrosiveness of the medium and take measures to protect the sensor from corrosion.

In summary, vertical installation of turbine flowmeters is feasible, but specific installation requirements need to be followed to ensure proper operation and measurement accuracy
