Application Examples of Rotameters for Steam Measurement in the Field

Project Overview

　　In the process of industrial production, flow measurement is a very important part, especially for steam flow measurement. Rotor flowmeter is a commonly used flow measurement instrument, with high measurement accuracy, simple structure, easy maintenance and other characteristics, in the industrial production process is widely used. The following is to share the application of the rotor flowmeter on the site of the measurement medium for steam.

　　First of all, to understand the structure and working principle of the rotor flowmeter. Rotor flowmeter consists of rotor, bracket, sensor and signal processor and so on. When the measured medium through the rotor, the rotor will be subject to a certain force, and thus rotating, rotating speed is proportional to the flow rate of the medium. The sensor measures the flow rate of the medium by detecting the rotational speed.

　　In the application case of a rotor flowmeter for measuring the medium of steam in the field, the flowmeter is used in one, to measure the flow of steam. In this application scenario, since the medium is steam, the influence of temperature and pressure variations of the steam on the measurement accuracy needs to be taken into account. Therefore, when installing the rotor flowmeter, it is necessary to choose a suitable installation position to ensure the measurement accuracy. At the same time, when calibrating the rotor flowmeter, the effects of steam temperature and pressure need to be taken into account to obtain accurate measurement results.

　　In actual use, the staff of this thermal power plant judge the changes in steam flow by monitoring the output signal of the rotor flowmeter, so as to take timely measures to ensure the safety and stability of production. At the same time, due to the rotor flowmeter has a simple structure, easy to maintain and other characteristics, the staff can easily carry out routine maintenance and repair, thereby extending the service life of the instrument.

　　In general, the field measurement medium for steam rotor flowmeter application cases fully illustrate the importance of rotor flowmeter in industrial production and application value. In practice, the need for different media characteristics and measurement requirements to select the appropriate measuring instrument, and reasonable installation and maintenance, in order to obtain accurate measurement results, and to protect the safety and stability of production.
