Equipment Configuration:vortex flow meter

Blast furnace gas measurement is a key part of iron and steel production. v-cone flowmeter adapts to a wide range of flow rate, high temperature and high pressure resistance, but the pressure loss is larger; vortex flowmeter has high accuracy, suitable for low and medium-temperature clean fluid, and has high requirements on the flow state and straight pipe section. When choosing, it is necessary to consider the actual working conditions and measurement requirements.

Project Overview

Blast furnace gas measurement is an important link in the steel production process. Accurate measurement of gas flow is of great significance for controlling furnace conditions and optimizing the production process. In the field of gas measurement, V-cone flowmeter and vortex flowmeter are two commonly used measuring devices. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different working conditions and measurement needs. First, let’s discuss the application of V-cone flowmeter in blast furnace gas measurement. With its unique structure and working principle, the V-cone flowmeter shows good performance in gas measurement. It uses Bernoulli's principle to calculate flow by measuring the pressure difference created as the fluid passes through a cone. This kind of flow meter can adapt to a wider range of flow rates and has lower requirements on straight pipe sections, so it has certain advantages in blast furnace gas measurement. In addition, the V-cone flowmeter can withstand high temperature and high pressure environments and is suitable for measuring fluids containing impurities or particles. However, it also has a certain pressure loss, about 10%~20%, which needs to be considered in practical applications.

Next, we analyze the applicability of vortex flowmeter in blast furnace gas measurement. The vortex flowmeter is based on the Karman vortex effect and determines the flow rate by measuring the vortex frequency generated when the fluid flows through a cylindrical object, and then calculates the flow rate. This kind of flow meter has the characteristics of high precision and good repeatability, and is suitable for the measurement of medium and low temperature and clean fluids. However, for blast furnace gas, a fluid that may contain impurities and particles, the measurement accuracy of the vortex flowmeter may be affected to a certain extent. In addition, the vortex flowmeter also requires a relatively stable flow pattern and a long upstream straight pipe section to ensure measurement accuracy, which may bring certain limitations in practical applications. When comparing the performance of two flow meters, we also need to consider their applicable working conditions and measurement accuracy. The V-cone flowmeter performs stably in high temperature and high pressure environments and is suitable for measuring fluids containing impurities or particles, but the pressure loss is large. Although the vortex flowmeter has higher accuracy, it is more suitable for the measurement of medium and low temperature and clean fluids. Therefore, when selecting blast furnace gas measurement equipment, comprehensive considerations need to be made based on actual working conditions and measurement needs.
