Flow control begins with the direction of installation of the orifice plate flowmeter

Project Overview

　　With the development of modern industry, the importance of flow control in industrial production is getting more and more attention. Among the various methods of flow control, the orifice plate flowmeter is a classical and practical flow measurement instrument, which is widely used for flow measurement in industrial production. However, the orifice plate flowmeter in the use of the process, the choice of installation direction is very important.

　　Flow control from the orifice plate flowmeter installation direction, because the measurement principle of the orifice plate flowmeter is to rely on the fluid through the orifice plate when the pressure difference to measure the flow, and this pressure difference with the geometry of the orifice plate and the direction of the fluid through the orifice plate is closely related. Therefore, in the installation of the orifice plate flowmeter, must be based on the direction of fluid flow to choose the appropriate orifice plate installation direction.

　　There are two types of orifice plate flowmeter installation direction: vertical installation and horizontal installation. Vertical installation refers to the plane of the orifice plate and the fluid flow direction perpendicular to the horizontal installation is the opposite. In the installation of the orifice plate flowmeter, should be based on the actual situation to choose the appropriate installation direction. In the case of horizontal flow, the choice of horizontal installation direction is appropriate; in the case of vertical flow, the choice of vertical installation direction is appropriate.

　　In actual industrial production, the direction of fluid flow is often variable, so the installation direction of the orifice plate flowmeter also needs to be selected according to the actual situation. In the installation of the orifice plate flowmeter, should be based on the direction of fluid flow to choose the appropriate installation direction, and need to install the direction of careful inspection and testing to ensure that the orifice plate flowmeter measurement accuracy and reliability.

　　In addition to the installation direction, the installation position of the orifice plate flowmeter is also very important. Orifice plate flowmeter should be installed in the fluid flow of the straight section of the upstream, in order to avoid the fluid by pipeline bending and local resistance. Upstream of the orifice plate flowmeter should ensure that there is enough straight pipe section to ensure stable fluid flow. In the installation of the orifice plate flowmeter, should also pay attention to the installation of the location of the orifice plate and the interval distance between the orifice plate and the pipeline, in order to ensure the measurement accuracy and reliability of the orifice plate flowmeter.

　　In short, the orifice plate flowmeter is a practical flow measurement instrument, in the process of using, the choice of installation direction is very important. When installing the orifice plate flowmeter, the appropriate installation direction should be selected according to the actual situation, and the installation direction needs to be carefully checked and tested to ensure the measurement accuracy and reliability of the orifice plate flowmeter. In addition to the installation direction, the installation location of the orifice plate flowmeter also needs to be considered, should be installed in the fluid flow of the straight section upstream, and in the upstream of the orifice plate flowmeter should ensure that there is enough straight section to ensure the stability of the fluid flow. In addition, the installation of the orifice plate flowmeter should also pay attention to the installation of the location of the orifice plate and the distance between the orifice plate and the pipeline, in order to ensure the measurement accuracy and reliability of the orifice plate flowmeter.
