What do I need to pay attention to the horizontal installation of metal tube float flowmeter?

Time: 2024-07-24
Equipment Configuration:metal tube float flowmeter

Horizontal installation of the metal tube float flowmeter requires attention to the horizontal angle, the addition of bypass piping and valves, the length of the straight section, magnetic filter and impurity filter installation, pipeline pressure, flanges coaxial parallel, pipeline support and control valve downstream installation. Avoid direct sunlight on the display to ensure accurate and stable installation.

Project Overview

The following points need to be noted when installing the metal tube float flowmeter horizontally:

  1. Make sure the horizontal angle is better than 2° when installing horizontally. This is to maintain the accuracy and stability of the flow meter.

  2. In order to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of flow meters and cleaning of measurement pipes, bypass pipes and bypass valves should be installed.

  3. The inlet of the flow meter should have a straight pipe section with a length greater than 5 times the pipe diameter to ensure the stability of the fluid flow. The outlet should have a 250mm straight pipe section.

  4. If the media contains ferromagnetic substances, a magnetic filter should be installed to prevent interference with the flow meter. If the medium contains solid impurities, a filter should be installed between the valve and the straight pipe section to prevent impurities from causing damage to the flow meter.

  5. When used for gas measurement, it should be ensured that the pipeline pressure is not less than 5 times the pressure loss of the flow meter so that the float can work stably.

  6. To avoid deformation of the flowmeter due to piping, the flange of the process pipeline must be coaxial and parallel to the flange of the flowmeter. Pipes should be supported to avoid pipe vibration and reduce axial loads on the flowmeter.

  7. The control valve in the measurement system should be installed downstream of the flow meter.

  8. Try to avoid direct sunlight on the monitor to avoid reducing the service life of the LCD.

The above are some points that need to be paid attention to when installing a metal tube float flow meter horizontally. Please be sure to follow these guidelines for installation to ensure flow meter accuracy and stability.
