1. What are the types of installation methods for ultrasonic flowmeters?
There are four main installation methods for ultrasonic flowmeters: external clamp type, insertion type, pipe section type, and portable. The choice depends on the pipeline conditions, measurement accuracy requirements, and budget.. 1. External clamp installation method: Fix two sensors on the outer wall of the pipeline with fixtures without cutting or drilling. Applicable scenarios: temporary measurement, cleaning liquids (such as water, crude oil), corrosive media. Advantages: Non contact, no damage to pipelines, no pressure loss, easy installation. Disadvantages: Sensitive to scaling or material on the inner wall of the pipeline, with slightly lower accuracy (about ± 1%)
2. Insertion installation method: Drill holes on the pipeline and weld the base, insert the sensor into the pipeline to come into contact with the fluid. Applicable scenarios: long-term measurement, dirty fluids (such as sewage and slurry). Advantages: Higher precision (± 0.5%~1%) and stronger anti-interference ability compared to external clamping. Disadvantages: Installation needs to be stopped, with slight pressure loss
3. Pipeline installation method: directly replace a section of pipeline, and the sensor is already built into the flange connection. Applicable scenarios: High precision requirements (such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries), small pipe diameters (DN15-DN200). Advantages: The highest accuracy (± 0.5%), good stability, and not affected by pipeline materials. Disadvantages: High cost, installation requires cutting the pipeline
4. Portable installation method: using an external clamp sensor to temporarily attach to the outs
2. How to install ultrasonic flowmeter correctly
Installation requirements for ultrasonic flowmeter FV series ultrasonic flowmeter The following parameters need to be input during routine measurement: 1 Outer diameter of pipeline 2 Pipe wall thickness 3 Pipe 4 Lining material parameters (including lining thickness and lining sound velocity if there is a regret bending configuration) 5 Fluid type 6 Probe type (as the host can support multiple different probes) 7 The input steps for the above parameter conditions of the probe installation method generally follow the following setting steps: 1 Enter MENU 1 to enter window 11, enter the outer diameter of the tube, and then press the ENT key; 2. Type ▼/- to enter window 12, enter the pipe wall thickness, and then type the ENT key; 3. Type ▼/- to enter window 14 ENT, ▲/+or ▼/- select the pipe and type the ENT key; 4. Enter the ENT key in window 16 by typing ▼/-, ▲/+or ▼/- after selecting the lining material; 5. Enter
