Vortex gas flowmeter in the city gas pipe network application

Project Overview

　　Vortex gas flowmeter is a kind of flow measurement instrument widely used in city gas pipeline network. With the continuous progress of urbanisation, city gas supply system has become an indispensable part of people's life. As a precise and reliable flow measurement instrument, vortex gas flowmeter is widely used in city gas pipeline network, which provides important support for the stable operation and safe management of gas supply system.

　　The principle of vortex gas flowmeter is based on the vortex effect, through the measurement of gas in the flow through the vortex flowmeter generated by the vortex frequency to calculate the gas flow. Vortex gas flowmeter has the advantages of simple structure, high measurement accuracy, fast response speed, long service life, etc. It is suitable for the flow measurement of various gases, including natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, city gas and so on.

　　In the city gas pipeline network, vortex gas flowmeter is mainly used in the following aspects:

　　1. Gas production and regulating station: vortex gas flowmeter is widely used in gas production and regulating station, used to measure the gas flow from the natural gas wellhead or liquefied petroleum gas receiving station transported to the city gas pipeline network. Through the accurate measurement of gas flow, it can ensure the safe and efficient operation of gas production and pressure regulating stations.

　　2. Gas storage: vortex gas flowmeter in the gas storage application is mainly used to measure the gas flow injected or extracted from the gas storage. Gas storage is an important part of the city gas supply system, used to store excess gas to cope with the peak demand. Vortex gas flowmeter can accurately measure the injected and extracted gas flow, which provides an important basis for the operation and management of gas storage.

　　3. Gas transmission and distribution stations: Vortex gas flowmeters are used in gas transmission and distribution stations to measure the flow of gas in and out of pipelines, including the inlet and outlet flow between pipelines as well as the flow of branch pipelines. This helps to monitor the distribution of gas flow in different areas or different pipe segments, and to monitor and manage the operation status of the urban gas pipeline network to ensure the stability and safety of gas supply.

　　4. User measurement: vortex gas flowmeter is also widely used in city gas user measurement, used for the user's gas consumption for accurate measurement. User measurement is the last link in the city gas supply system, directly related to the user's gas consumption and billing. The high precision measurement and stable performance of vortex gas flowmeter can ensure the accuracy and fairness of user metering, avoiding disputes and controversies caused by measurement errors.

　　The application of vortex gas flowmeter in urban gas pipeline network can not only realise the accurate measurement of gas flow, but also provide real-time monitoring and data collection, which provides a powerful support for the operation and management of pipeline network and safety control. Through the application of vortex gas flow meter, it can realise the intelligent management of gas supply system and improve the operation efficiency and safety of pipeline network.

　　In addition to the above applications, vortex gas flowmeter is also widely used in urban gas pipeline network for fault diagnosis and early warning, pipeline network optimisation design, energy management and other aspects. For example, through the real-time monitoring and data analysis of vortex gas flowmeter, the abnormal situation in the pipeline network can be found in a timely manner, fault diagnosis and early warning, to reduce the occurrence of gas outage. At the same time, through the vortex gas flowmeter flow data, the optimal design and adjustment of the pipeline network can be carried out to improve the operational efficiency of the pipeline network and energy utilisation.

　　However, the application of vortex gas flowmeter in urban gas pipeline network also faces some challenges. For example, the measurement accuracy of vortex gas flowmeter in high temperature, high pressure, high sulphur content and other special conditions may be affected, and need to choose the appropriate model and material. In addition, the installation and maintenance of vortex gas flowmeter also need professional technology and management team to ensure its normal operation and accurate measurement.

　　In summary, vortex gas flowmeter, as an advanced flow measurement instrument, has a wide range of application prospects in urban gas pipeline network. It can realise accurate measurement, real-time monitoring and data acquisition of gas flow, which provides strong support for the stable operation and safe management of city gas supply system.
