Does the v-cone flow meter principle determine the caliber size?

Project Overview

V cone flow meter is an instrument that uses the pressure difference generated when fluid passes through a cone tube to measure flow. When fluid passes through a tapered pipe, the flow rate increases and the pressure decreases, creating a pressure difference between the upstream and downstream sides of the pipe. This pressure difference is directly proportional to the flow rate of the fluid flowing through it, so it can be used to measure flow. For small-diameter pipes, when using a V-cone flowmeter for measurement, the sensor needs to be inserted into the center of the pipe. For large-diameter pipes, due to the larger size of the pipe, the installation position of the sensor needs to be more precise to ensure accurate measurement. Therefore, large-diameter pipes require different structures to accommodate this demand.

Specifically, large-diameter pipes require longer tapered pipes and longer sensors to ensure measurement accuracy. In addition, in order for the sensor to accurately measure flow, large-diameter pipes require a stronger structure to support the sensor. To sum up, the working principle of v-cone flowmeter determines the difference between the structure of small diameter and large diameter. Small-diameter pipes require the sensor to be inserted into the center of the pipe, while large-diameter pipes require longer tapered tubes, longer sensors, and a stronger structure to support the sensors.
