Vortex flowmeter installation need to pay attention to these points

Project Overview

Vortex flowmeters are widely used in the measurement of various media such as gases, liquids, and vapors due to their simple structure, low maintenance, and stable instrument data. However, the installation location and environment of the vortex flowmeter have a certain impact on the accuracy of the meter. The following points should be noted when installing the vortex flowmeter: The vortex flowmeter can be installed indoors or outdoors. In harsh environments, attention should be paid to outdoor installation to prevent corrosion of the flow meter body by the climatic external environment. The vortex flowmeter can be installed on the pipeline 360° in the vertical direction along the axis of the pipeline, and can be installed horizontally, vertically, or tilted. When measuring liquids, the pipe must be filled with liquid, so for sensors installed vertically or tilted, the fluid flow direction must be from bottom to top. The vortex flowmeter needs to be installed on a pipe without mechanical vibration. If the pipe vibrates, the installation location must be changed or a fixed bracket must be made.

Vortex flowmeters should avoid being installed in places with relatively large magnetic fields, strong radiation, small spaces, and inconvenient maintenance to reduce external interference. Avoid installing valves in front of the vortex flowmeter and leave enough straight pipe sections on the upstream and downstream sides. When installing a vortex flowmeter, the inner diameter of the pipe must be the same as the inner diameter of the sensor. If they are not exactly the same, a pipe slightly larger than the diameter of the sensor should be used. The error between the inner diameter of the sensor and the inner diameter of the pipe must be ≤3%. Zhiyuan Instruments LUB series anti-vibration vortex flowmeter circuit board is equipped with DSP signal processing circuit and anti-vibration algorithm, equipped with mature piezoelectric crystal sensor, and has reliable performance after long-term field testing and operation. Even under complex working conditions, the anti-vibration vortex flowmeter can effectively identify the signal generated by the flowmeter body and the interference signal generated by vibration and perform shielding processing to achieve accurate and stable operation.
