How to choose a flow meter to measure different media, choose different flowmeters, choose a flowmeter, measure different media, choose different flowmeters, and Guangzhou Dichuan Instrument Co., Ltd. in order to ensure the best and most accurate use of flow meters in the production site. The choice of flow meter must be determined according to the medium that needs to be measured at the production site. First, the gas medium, the type of flow meter should be selected: 1, ultrasonic gas flow meter. 2, vortex flowmeter. If the gas temperature exceeds 300 ° C, an optional pneumatic flow meter. Second, oil, diesel and other oil media, the type of flowmeter should be selected: ultrasonic flowmeter. Third, mortar, electric powder and other large concentrations of solid particles, the size of the flowmeter should be selected: electromagnetic flowmeter. 4. For the medium with large flow of tap water, the type of flow meter that should be selected is: the applicable type is intelligent electromagnetic flowmeter and ultrasonic flowmeter. Others such as vortex flowmeters, orifice flowmeters, etc. are also possible. 5. For turbid liquid media such as sewage and pulp, the types of flowmeters to be selected are: 1. Ultrasonic flowmeter and intelligent electromagnetic flowmeter. However, when choosing an electromagnetic flowmeter, consider that the liquid does not contain more air or bubbles. Sixth, liquid medium with more bubbles, the type of flowmeter should be selected: ultrasonic flowmeter, using this type of flowmeter to measure fluid with bubbles, the effect is very good. Seven, pure water, demineralized water and other media with low conductivity, the type of flowmeter should be selected: ultrasonic flowmeter is very suitable for measuring such fluids.

A meter used to measure fluid flow in a pipeline (volume of fluid passing through a unit of time). There are rotameters, throttle flowmeters, slit flowmeters, volumetric flowmeters, electromagnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters and helium.

There are many types of flow measurement methods and meters, and there are many classification methods. Up to now, there are as many as 60 types of flow meters available for industrial use. The reason for so many varieties is that no flow meter has been found for any fluid, any range, any flow conditions, and any conditions of use.

These more than 60 flow meters, each with its specific applicability, also have its limitations. According to the measurement object, there are two types of closed pipelines and open channels; according to the measurement purpose, it can be divided into total measurement and flow measurement. The meters are called the total meter and the flow meter.

The total meter measures the flow through the pipeline over a period of time. It is expressed as the quotient of the total amount of flow over a short period of time divided by the time. In fact, the flowmeter is usually equipped with a cumulative flow device for use as a total meter. The meter is also equipped with a traffic transmitter. Therefore, it is of no practical significance to divide the flow meter and the total meter in a strict sense.

According to the measurement principle, there are mechanical principles, thermal principles, acoustic principles, electrical principles, optical principles, and atomic physics principles.

According to the current most popular and widely classified classification, it is divided into: volumetric flowmeter, differential pressure flowmeter, float flowmeter, turbine flowmeter, electromagnetic flowmeter, vortex flowmeter in fluid oscillation flowmeter, quality Flowmeters, plug-in flowmeters, and probe flowmeters are used to illustrate the principles, features, application profiles, and developments at home and abroad.

The differential pressure flowmeter is a meter that calculates the flow rate based on the differential pressure generated by the flow detecting member installed in the pipe, the known fluid condition, and the geometrical dimensions of the detecting member and the pipe.
The differential pressure flowmeter consists of a primary device (detection member) and a secondary device (differential pressure conversion and flow display instrument). Differential pressure flowmeters are usually classified in the form of test pieces, such as orifice flowmeters, venturi flowmeters, and uniform velocity flowmeters.
The secondary device is a variety of mechanical, electronic, electromechanical integrated differential pressure gauges, differential pressure transmitters and flow display instruments. It has developed into a large-scale instrument with a high degree of categorization (series, generalization and standardization) and a wide variety of specifications. It can measure flow parameters as well as other parameters (such as pressure, level, density, etc.). ).
The detection parts of the differential pressure flowmeter can be divided into three types according to the principle of operation: throttling device, hydraulic resistance type, centrifugal type, dynamic pressure head type, dynamic pressure head gain type and jet type.
Test pieces can be divided into two categories according to their standardization: standard and non-standard.
The so-called standard test pieces are designed, manufactured, installed and used according to standard documents, and the flow value and estimated measurement error can be determined without actual flow calibration.
Non-standard test pieces are those that are less mature and have not been included in the international standard.
The differential pressure flowmeter is one of the most widely used flowmeters, and its use ranks first among all types of flowmeters. In recent years, due to the advent of various new flowmeters, its percentage of usage has gradually decreased, but it is still the most important type of flowmeter.

[Edit this paragraph] 3.8 Coriolis mass flowmeter Coriolis mass flowmeter (hereinafter referred to as CMF) is made by using the fluid in the vibrating tube, produced by the Coriolis force principle proportional to the mass flow A direct mass flow meter.
The application of CMF in China started late. In recent years, several manufacturing plants (such as Taihang Instrument Factory) have developed and supplied the market by themselves; there are also several manufacturing plants that form joint ventures or use foreign technology to produce series instruments.
Thermal Gas Mass Flow Meter The thermal flow meter sensor consists of two sensing elements, a speed sensor and a temperature sensor. They automatically compensate and correct for gas temperature changes. The electrically heated portion of the meter heats the speed sensor to a certain value above the operating temperature temperature to create a constant temperature difference between the speed sensor and the sensor that measures the operating temperature. When the temperature difference is kept constant, the energy consumed by electric heating can also be said to be a heat dissipation value proportional to the mass flow rate of the gas flowing through.
The thermal gas mass flow meter is Mass Flow Meter (abbreviated as MFM), which is a new type of instrument in gas flow metering. It is different from other gas flow meters without pressure and temperature correction. It directly measures the mass flow of gas. One sensor can Do the range from very low to high range.

A waterway that is not full of tubular flow is called an open channel, and an open channel flowmeter that measures the flow of water in an open channel is called an open channel flowmeter.
In addition to the circular shape, the open channel flowmeter has various shapes such as U-shape, trapezoidal shape, and rectangular shape.
All urban water supply diversion canals for open channel flowmeter applications; diversion and drainage channels for thermal power plants, sewage treatment inflows and discharge channels; water discharge for industrial and mining enterprises; and channels for water conservancy projects and agricultural irrigation. It is estimated that 1995 units account for about 1.6% of the total flow meters, but there is no estimated data for domestic applications.
4, research and development of new working principle flow meter
4.1 Electrostatic flowmeter
The Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan developed an electrostatic flowmeter suitable for the measurement of low-conductivity liquid flow in petroleum pipelines.
The metal measuring tube of the electrostatic flowmeter is connected to the pipe system insulatively, and the electric charge in the measuring tube can be known by measuring the static charge on the capacitor. They performed real-flow tests on metal and plastic measuring tube instruments with inner diameters of 4~8mm copper and stainless steel. The tests showed that the flow rate and charge were close to linear.
4.2 combined effects meter (combined effects meter)
The working principle of the meter is based on the deformation of the fluid induced by the momentum and pressure of the fluid, and the deformation of the composite effect is measured to obtain the flow. This instrument was developed by the GMI Engineering and Management School of the United States and has applied for two patents.
4.3 Tachmetric flowrate sensor
It was developed by the Industrial Instrumentation Company of the Russian Science and Engineering Center and was developed based on the theory of suspension effects. The instrument has been successfully applied in several sites (for example, installing more than 2,000 measuring hot water flows in nuclear power plants for 8 consecutive years) and is still improving to expand the application area.
5, several flow meter applications and development trends
5.1 Coriolis mass flow meter (CMF)
Foreign CMF has developed more than 30 series. The technical focus of each series development is: design innovation on the structure of flow detection and measurement tube; improving the stability and accuracy of the zero point of the instrument; increasing the deflection of the measuring tube, improving the sensitivity; improving the stress of the measuring tube Distribution, reduce fatigue damage, and strengthen the ability to resist vibration.
5.2 Electromagnetic Flowmeter (EMF)
Since the EMF entered industrial applications in the early 1950s, the field of use has expanded. Since the late 1980s, it has accounted for 16% to 20% of the sales volume of flow meters in various countries.
China has developed rapidly in recent years. In 1994, sales were estimated at 6500-7500 units. The domestic ENF has a maximum diameter of 2~6m, and has the capability of real-flow calibration with a diameter of 3m.

5.4 Powerbar Flowmeter The Veolibar Flowmeter uses a fully aerodynamic engineering design and is a sensing component that achieves unparalleled accuracy, efficiency and reliability.
6. Conclusions As can be seen from the above, although the flowmeter has developed to the present day, its type is still extremely diverse, and there is no flowmeter suitable for any occasion.
Each flow meter has its scope of application and has limitations. This requires us to:
(1) When selecting the instrument, be sure to be familiar with both the instrument and the object under test, and take into account other factors, so that the measurement will be accurate;
(2) Strive to develop new types of instruments to make them more perfect on the existing basis.
Differential pressure flowmeter Differential pressure flowmeter (hereinafter referred to as DPF or flowmeter) is a gauge that measures flow according to the differential pressure generated by the flow detection component installed in the pipeline, the known fluid condition, and the geometrical dimensions of the test piece and the pipe. . The DPF consists of a primary device (detection) and a secondary device (differential pressure conversion and flow display instrument). The DPF is usually classified by the type of the test piece, such as a hole pull flow meter, a venturi flow meter, and a constant velocity tube flow meter. The secondary device is a variety of mechanical, electronic, electromechanical integrated differential pressure gauges, differential pressure transmitters and flow display and calculation instruments. It has developed into a series of specifications with high degree of serialization, generalization and standardization. A large class of instruments. The differential pressure gauge can be used to measure flow parameters as well as other parameters (such as pressure, level, density, etc.).
DPF can be divided into throttling type, dynamic pressure head type, hydraulic resistance type, centrifugal type, dynamic pressure gain type and jet type according to the principle of its detecting parts. Among them, throttling type and dynamic pressure head type application The most extensive.
The detectors of the throttle type DPF are classified into two types according to their standardization degree: standard type and non-standard type. The so-called standard throttling device refers to the design, manufacture, installation and use according to the standard documents. It can determine the flow value and estimate the flow measurement error without real-current calibration. The non-standard throttling device is poorly mature and has not been included in the standard. The test piece in the file.
The development of the standard throttling DPF has gone through a long process. As early as the 1920s, large-scale throttling device experiments were started in the United States and Europe. The most common throttling devices - orifice plates and nozzles - began to standardize. One type of standard ISA l932 nozzle for standard nozzles is now standardized in the 1930s, and the standard orifice plate was also known as the ISA l932 orifice plate. The standardization of the structure of the throttling device has far-reaching significance. Because only the structural form of the throttling device is standardized, it is possible to bring together many international research results, which promotes the depth and breadth of the theory and practice of the test piece. This is beyond the reach of other flow meters. In 1980, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) officially passed the international standard ISO 5167, and the first international standard for flow measurement and throttling devices was born. ISO 5167 summarizes the theoretical and experimental research results of several limited throttling devices (orifice plates, nozzles and venturis) for decades, reflecting the state of the art in contemporary science and production of such test pieces. . However, since the official promulgation of ISO 5167, it has exposed many problems that need to be solved. These problems mainly include the following aspects.
1) The old data of ISO 5167 test data The data used in ISO 5167 are mostly the results of the test in the 1930s. Today, regardless of the throttling device manufacturing technology, the flow test equipment and experimental technology have made great progress, re-test systematically to obtain Higher accuracy and more reliable data are necessary. In the 1980s, large-scale trials were conducted in the United States and Europe, laying the groundwork for the revision of ISO 5167.
2) The issue of the length regulation of straight pipe in ISO 5167 When the ISO voted to pass ISO 5167, the United States voted against it. The main reason is that there are different opinions on the length of the straight pipe. This issue should be the main problem of the revision of ISO 5167. One.
3) The scientific problems of ISO 5167 affect the outflow coefficient of the throttling device. There are many factors, such as the ratio of the aperture to the diameter of the pipe diameter β, the pressure device, the Reynolds number, the eccentricity of the throttle installation, and the front and rear flow. The type of the piece and the length of the straight pipe section, the sharpness of the inlet edge of the orifice plate, the roughness of the pipe wall, the turbulence of the fluid flow, etc., many factors affect the intricacy, and some parameters are difficult to measure directly, so some provisions in the standard are not scientifically determined, but Consensus has to be determined artificially. The famous traffic expert Spencer (E.A. Spencer) proposed a series of issues that should be reviewed, such as plate flatness, concentricity, sharp edge sharpness, pipe roughness, upstream flow velocity distribution and the role of flow regulators.
4) Regarding the improvement of the accuracy of the throttling DPF measurement, in view of the importance of the throttling DPF in the flowmeter, it is of great significance to improve the measurement accuracy. Previous international academic conferences have found that traffic measurement workers, fluid mechanics and computer technology workers must work closely together to solve this problem.
In the 1980s, the United States and Europe began large-scale experimental research on orifice flowmeters. Europe is the EEC Experimental Program and the United States is the API Experimental Program. The purpose of the test is to conduct a new round of extensive experimental research using the latest modern test equipment and statistical processing techniques of test data, laying the technical foundation for the revision of ISO 5167. In 1999, ISO issued a revised version of ISO 5167 (ISO/CD5167-1-4), which is a draft of the committee. It has been greatly changed in terms of technical content and editing, and is a brand new standard. It was originally scheduled to be reviewed as a DIS (Standard Draft) at the ISO/TC30/SC2 meeting held in Denver, USA in July 1999, but the meeting considered that there were still details that should be discussed and failed. It is not known when the new ISO 5167 standard will be officially promulgated. The new ISO 5167 standard has substantial changes in the two core contents of the standard. One is the equation for the outflow coefficient of the orifice plate. The Reader-Harris/Gallagher calculation formula (RG type) is used instead of the Stolz calculation formula, and the other is the upstream of the throttling device. The length of the side straight pipe section and the use of the flow regulator.
We usually refer to the throttling devices listed in ISO 5167 (GB/T2624) as standard throttling devices, others are called non-standard throttling devices. It should be noted that non-standard throttling devices not only refer to those throttling devices. If the standard throttling device is different, if the standard throttling device works under deviation from the standard conditions, it should also be called a non-standard throttling device. For example, the standard orifice plate works under the critical flow in the mixed phase flow or the standard venturi nozzle. .
At present, there are some types of non-standard throttling devices:
1) 1/4 round orifice plate, tapered inlet orifice plate, double orifice plate, double inclined orifice plate, semi-circular orifice plate, etc. for low Reynolds number;
2) Round median plates, eccentric orifice plates, annular orifice plates, wedge-shaped orifice plates, elbow throttles, etc. for dirty media;
3) Low pressure loss with Roros tube, Dow tube, Dow orifice plate, double venturi nozzle, universal venturi tube, Vasy tube, etc.;
4) The whole (built-in) orifice plate for small pipe diameter;
5) end orifice device end orifice plate, end nozzle, Borda tube, etc.;
6) Wide-range throttling device elastically loaded variable area variable head flowmeter (linear orifice plate);
7) capillary throttle flowmeter;
8) pulsating flow throttling device;
9) a critical flow throttling device sonic venturi nozzle;
10) Mixed phase flow throttling device.
The continuous expansion of the throttling DPF field application will inevitably require the development of non-standard throttling devices. For more than ten years, ISO has been continuously developing technical documents on non-standard throttling devices, and published as technical reports before they can become official standards. . It is foreseeable that in the future it will be possible for some of the more mature non-standard throttling devices to be promoted to standard.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, the sales volume of various types of DPF in the world accounted for 50%-60% of the total volume of flow meters (about one million units per year), and the amount accounted for about 30%. The number of sales in China accounts for about 35%-42% of the total flow meter (excluding domestic gas meters and household water meters and glass tube float flowmeters) (60,000-70,000 units per year).
2 Working principle 2.1 Basic principle The fluid filled in the pipeline, when it flows through the throttle in the pipeline, as shown in Figure 4.1, the flow rate will form a local contraction at the throttle, so the flow rate increases, the static pressure decreases, so the section A pressure difference is generated before and after the flow piece. The larger the fluid flow rate, the greater the pressure difference produced, so that the flow rate can be measured by the pressure difference. This measurement method is based on the flow continuity equation (the law of conservation of mass) and the Bernoulli equation (the law of conservation of energy). The magnitude of the pressure difference is not only related to the flow rate but also to many other factors. For example, when the physical properties (density, viscosity) of the fluid in the form of the throttling device or the pipe are different, the pressure difference generated under the same flow rate is also different.
Figure 4.1 Flow velocity and pressure distribution near the orifice plate 2.2 qm--mass flow rate in the flow equation, kg/s;
Qv--volume flow, m3/s;
C--outflow coefficient;
Ε--expansion coefficient;
---diameter ratio, β=d/D;
D--the aperture of the throttle under working conditions, m;
D--the inner diameter of the upstream pipe under working conditions, m;
P--differential pressure, Pa;
Ρl--upstream fluid density, kg/m3.
It can be seen from the above equation that the flow rate is a function of six parameters of C, ε, d, ρ, P, and β(D). These six parameters can be divided into real measurements [d, ρ, P, β(D)] and statistics. Two types of quantity (C, ε).
(1) Real measurement
1) d, D (4.1) where d is proportional to the flow rate, and its accuracy has a great influence on the total flow accuracy. The error value should generally be controlled at ±0.05%, and the operating temperature should be calculated. The effect of thermal expansion of the material. The standard stipulates that the inner diameter D of the pipe must be measured. It is necessary to perform multiple measurements on several sections of the upstream pipe section to obtain the average value, and the error should not exceed ±0.3%. In addition to the high accuracy requirements for numerical measurements, it should also be considered that the deviation of the inner diameter will have a serious impact on the abnormal throttling of the upstream passage of the throttle. Therefore, when it is not a complete supply of throttling devices, the piping at the site should pay sufficient attention to this problem.
2) ρ ρ is in the same position as P in the flow equation, that is to say, when pursuing the high-precision level of the differential pressure transmitter, never forget that the measurement accuracy of ρ should also match. Otherwise the increase in P will be offset by the decrease in ρ.
3) The accurate measurement of P differential pressure P should not be limited to the selection of a high precision differential pressure transmitter. In fact, whether the differential pressure transmitter can accept the true differential pressure value is also determined by a series of factors. The manufacture, installation and use of the correct pressure tapping and pressure piping are the key to ensuring the true differential pressure value. Many influencing factors are difficult to quantify or qualitatively determined. Only by strengthening the standardization of manufacturing and installation can the goal be achieved.
(2) Statistics
1) C statistic C is an amount that cannot be measured (refers to the standard design and manufacture, and is not used for calibration). The most complicated situation when used in the field occurs when the actual C value does not match the C value determined by the standard. Their deviations are caused by a number of factors in the design, manufacture, installation and use. It should be clarified that all the above-mentioned links strictly follow the standards, and the actual values ​​will be consistent with the values ​​determined by the standards. It is difficult to fully meet this requirement on site.
It should be noted that deviations from standard conditions, some can be quantitatively estimated (can be corrected), and some can only be qualitatively estimated (magnitude and direction of uncertainty). But in reality, sometimes it is not only a conditional deviation, but it brings a very complicated situation, because the general information only introduces the error caused by a certain conditional deviation. If many conditions deviate at the same time, the lack of relevant information can be found.
2) ε The expansion coefficient ε is a correction for the change of the outflow coefficient caused by the change of the density of the fluid through the throttle. The error is composed of two parts: one is the error of ε under the common flow rate, that is, the standard determination value. The error; the second is the error caused by the fluctuation of the ε value due to the flow change. Generally, in the case of low static pressure and high differential pressure, the ε value has a non-negligible error. When P/P ≤ 0.04, the error of ε is negligible.
3 Classification of differential pressure flowmeters is shown in Table 4.1.

The orifice plate is a thin plate with sharp, right-angled edges that are machined into a circular concentric shape. The upstream side edge of the orifice opening should be a sharp right angle. The standard orifice plate has three pressure-receiving methods: angle joint, flange and DD/2 pressure; as shown in Figure 4.3. In order to measure the flow from either direction, a symmetrical orifice plate can be used, and both edges of the orifice conform to the characteristics of the upstream edge of the right-angle edge orifice, and the total thickness of the orifice does not exceed the thickness of the orifice.

超声波流量计的基本原理及类型超声波在流动的流体中传播时就载上流体流速的信息。因此通过接收到的超声波就可以检测出流体的流速,从而换算成流量。根据检测的方式,可分为传播速度差法、多普勒法、波束偏移法、噪声法及相关法等不同类型的超声波流量计。起声波流量计是近十几年来随着集成电路技术迅速发展才开始应用的一种非接触式仪表,适于测量不易接触和观察的流体以及大管径流量。它与水位计联动可进行敞开水流的流量测量。使用超声波流量比不用在流体中安装测量元件故不会改变流体的流动状态,不产生附加阻力,仪表的安装及检修均可不影响生产管线运行因而是一种理想的节能型流量计。
众所周知,目前的工业流量测量普遍存在着大管径、大流量测量困难的问题,这是因为一般流量计随着测量管径的增大会带来制造和运输上的困难,造价提高、能损加大、安装不仅这些缺点,超声波流量计均可避免。因为各类超声波流量计均可管外安装、非接触测流,仪表造价基本上与被测管道口径大小无关,而其它类型的流量计随着口径增加,造价大幅度增加,故口径越大超声波流量计比相同功能其它类型流量计的功能价格比越优越。被认为是较好的大管径流量测量仪表,多普勒法超声波流量计可测双相介质的流量,故可用于下水道及排污水等脏污流的测量。在发电厂中,用便携式超声波流量计测量水轮机进水量、汽轮机循环水量等大管径流量,比过去的皮脱管流速计方便得多。超声被流量汁也可用于气体测量。管径的适用范围从2cm到5m,从几米宽的明渠、暗渠到500m宽的河流都可适用。
另外,超声测量仪表的流量测量准确度几乎不受被测流体温度、压力、粘度、密度等参数的影响,又可制成非接触及便携式测量仪表,故可解决其它类型仪表所难以测量的强腐蚀性、非导电性、放射性及易燃易爆介质的流量测量问题。另外,鉴于非接触测量特点,再配以合理的电子线路,一台仪表可适应多种管径测量和多种流量范围测量。超声波流量计的适应能力也是其它仪表不可比拟的。超声波流量计具有上述一些优点因此它越来越受到重视并且向产品系列化、通用化发展,现已制成不同声道的标准型、高温型、防爆型、湿式型仪表以适应不同介质,不同场合和不同管道条件的流量测量。
超声波流量计目前所存在的缺点主要是可测流体的温度范围受超声波换能铝及换能器与管道之间的耦合材料耐温程度的限制,以及高温下被测流体传声速度的原始数据不全。目前我国只能用于测量200℃以下的流体。另外,超声波流量计的测量线路比一般流量计复杂。这是因为,一般工业计量中液体的流速常常是每秒几米,而声波在液体中的传播速度约为1500m/s左右,被测流体流速(流量)变化带给声速的变化量最大也是10-3数量级.若要求测量流速的准确度为1%,则对声速的测量准确度需为10-5~10-6数量级,因此必须有完善的测量线路才能实现,这也正是超声波流量计只有在集成电路技术迅速发展的前题下才能得到实际应用的原因。
超声波流量计由超声波换能器、电子线路及流量显示和累积系统三部分组成。超声波发射换能器将电能转换为超声波能量,并将其发射到被测流体中,接收器接收到的超声波信号,经电子线路放大并转换为代表流量的电信号供给显示和积算仪表进行显示和积算。这样就实现了流量的检测和显示。
超声波流量计常用压电换能器。它利用压电材料的压电效应,采用适出的发射电路把电能加到发射换能器的压电元件上,使其产生超声波振劝。超声波以某一角度射入流体中传播,然后由接收换能器接收,并经压电元件变为电能,以便检测。发射换能器利用压电元件的逆压电效应,而接收换能器则是利用压电效应。
超声波流量计换能器的压电元件常做成圆形薄片,沿厚度振动。薄片直径超过厚度的10倍,以保证振动的方向性。压电元件材料多采用锆钛酸铅。为固定压电元件,使超声波以合适的角度射入到流体中,需把元件故人声楔中,构成换能器整体(又称探头)。声楔的材料不仅要求强度高、耐老化,而且要求超声波经声楔后能量损失小即透射系数接近1。常用的声楔材料是有机玻璃,因为它透明,可以观察到声楔中压电元件的组装情况。另外,某些橡胶、塑料及胶木也可作声楔材料。
超声波流量计的电子线路包括发射、接收、信号处理和显示电路。测得的瞬时流量和累积流量值用数字量或模拟量显示。
根据对信号检测的原理,目前超声波流量计大致可分传播速度差法(包括:直接时差法、时差法、相位差法、频差法)波束偏移法、多普勒法、相关法、空间滤波法及噪声法等类型,如图所示。其中以噪声法原理及结构最简单,便于测量和携带,价格便宜但准确度较低,适于在流量测量准确度要求不高的场合使用。由于直接时差法、时差法、频差法和相位差法的基本原理都是通过测量超声波脉冲顺流和逆流传报时速度之差来反映流体的流速的,故又统称为传播速度差法。其中频差法和时差法克服了声速随流体温度变化带来的误差,准确度较高,所以被广泛采用。按照换能器的配置方法不同,传播速度差拨又分为:Z法(透过法)、V法(反射法)、X法(交叉法)等。波束偏移法是利用超声波束在流体中的传播方向随流体流速变化而产生偏移来反映流体流速的,低流速时,灵敏度很低适用性不大.多普勒法是利用声学多普勒原理,通过测量不均匀流体中散射体散射的超声波多普勒频移来确定流体流量的,适用于含悬浮颗粒、气泡等流体流量测量。相关法是利用相关技术测量流量,原理上,此法的测量准确度与流体中的声速无关,因而与流体温度,浓度等无关,因而测量准确度高,适用范围广。但相关器价格贵,线路比较复杂。在微处理机普及应用后,这个缺点可以克服。噪声法(听音法)是利用管道内流体流动时产生的噪声与流体的流速有关的原理,通过检测噪声表示流速或流量值。其方法简单,设备价格便宜,但准确度低。
以上几种方法各有特点,应根据被测流体性质.流速分布情况、管路安装地点以及对测量准确度的要求等因素进行选择。一般说来由于工业生产中工质的温度常不能保持恒定,故多采用频差法及时差法。只有在管径很大时才采用直接时差法。对换能器安装方法的选择原则一般是:当流体沿管轴平行流动时,选用Z法;当流动方向与管铀不平行或管路安装地点使换能器安装间隔受到限制时,采用V法或X法。当流场分布不均匀而表前直管段又较短时,也可采用多声道(例如双声道或四声道)来克服流速扰动带来的流量测量误差。多普勒法适于测量两相流,可避免常规仪表由悬浮粒或气泡造成的堵塞、磨损、附着而不能运行的弊病,因而得以迅速发展。随着工业的发展及节能工作的开展,煤油混合(COM)、煤水泥合(CWM)燃料的输送和应用以及燃料油加水助燃等节能方法的发展,都为多普勒超声波流量计应用开辟广阔前景。
流量计的种类很多,一般市场上用得比较广泛的有:电磁流量计、涡街流量计、涡轮流量计、孔板流量计、V锥流量计、金属转子流量计、玻璃转子流量计、旋进旋涡流量计、椭圆齿轮流量计、均速管流量计、超声波流量计等。它们的安装条件对直管段的要求V锥流量计是最低,而电磁、涡街、孔板等对直管段要求就较高,一般是前5D后3D,对于流量计前端有弯头、阀门电磁流量计等的直管段要求就更高,最高要求直管段是前50D后5D,因此在选购流量计时一定要考虑流量计现场安装的环境、位置等因素,从而选择更加适合现场工矿的流量计。
现在流量计所需要的参数:
1、被测量的介质2、被测量介质的温度3、被测量介质的压力4、被测量介质的流量5、要求的测量精度6、现场工矿情况
