Turbine Type Liquid Flow Meter Manufacturer
1. Introduction
LWGYML series turbine flow meter is a new generation kind of flow
meter that absorbs the advanced technologies of flow meter at home
and abroad. It has been optimized and designed to have so many
characteristics, such as simple structure, light weight, high
precision, good repeatability,easy installation and usage.
It is widely used in the sealed pipelines which doesn’t have
corrosion function on SS 1Cr18Ni9Ti, 2Cr13, corundum Al2O3 and cemented carbide and have no fiber, particle and so on. The
liquid should be less than 5*10-6m2/s with viscosity under working temperature, if the viscosity of
the liquid is more than 5*10-6m2/s, then the flow meter can be used after calibration. If it is
equipped with other display devices with special functions, it can
also do quantity control, excessive alarm and so on. It is really
perfect in flow measurement and energy
conservation.
2. Features
- High accuracy, usually reach ±1%R,±0.5%R,or even reach ±0.2%R for
high-precision type.
- Good repeatability, it can reach 0.05%-0.2% in short term, if
regular calibration or online calibration can get an extremely high
accuracy, so it is preferred in foreign trade.
- Pulse signal output, it is suitable for totalizer measurement and
computer connection, no zero drift,strong capacity of resisting
disturbance.
- High frequency signal(3-4KHz), strong signal resolution.
- Wide range, middle and big diameter can reach 1:20, and small
diameter can reach 1:10.
- Compact structure, easy installation and maintenance.
3. Application
Turbine flowmeters are widely used in the following measurement
objects: petroleum, organic liquids, inorganic liquids, liquefied
gas, natural gas, coal gas and cryogenic fluids. It is widely used
in the transfer and gathering stations of foreign liquefied
petroleum gas, refined oil and light crude oil, and the first and
last stations of large crude oil pipelines for trade settlement. In
Europe and the United States, turbine flow meters are second only
to orifice flow meters for natural gas measurement. In the
Netherlands alone, more than 2,600 gas turbine flow meters of
various sizes and pressures ranging from 0.8 MPa to 6.5 MPa are
used in natural gas pipelines. Has become an excellent natural gas
flow meter. Although the excellent metering characteristics of
turbine flowmeters are favored by people, they give people the
impression that they are made of movable parts and have a short
service life. They can't help but hesitate when choosing them.
After people's unremitting efforts, it should be said that the
situation has improved greatly. Turbine flowmeter, as the most
common flowmeter, has developed into a multi-variety, full-series,
and multi-specification mass production scale. In addition to a
large number of applications in the aforementioned industrial
sectors, turbine flowmeters are also widely used in some special
sectors, such as scientific research, national defense science and
technology, and measurement sectors. The use of these fields just
avoids its weaknesses (not suitable for long-term continuous use)
and gives full play to Its characteristics (high precision, good
repeatability, can be used in high pressure, high temperature, low
temperature and micro flow conditions). In these fields, most of
them are designed according to the special requirements of the
tested objects. They are special instruments and are not
mass-produced.
4. Turbine flow meter Advantages and Disadvantages
Turbine Meter Advantages
- The cost is moderate.
- Very good at clean, low viscosity fluids of moderate velocity and a
steady rate.
- Turndown is very good as it can read very low compared to the
greatest flow.
- They are reliable if put in a clean fluid especially if it has some
lubricity.
- AGA and API approved for custody transfers.
- They do cause some pressure drop where that may be a factor such as
gravity flows.
- High accuracy. Among all flowmeters, it is the most accurate
flowmeter.
- No zero drift, good anti-interference ability.
- High accuracy. Among all flowmeters, it is the most accurate
flowmeter.
- No zero drift, good anti-interference ability.
Turbine Meter Disadvantages
- Not reliable for steam.
- Bearings wear out.
- Requires constant backpressure to prevent cavitation.
- Accuracy adversely affected by bubbles in liquids.
- Turbine meters can be used with clean liquids and gases only (may
need to install a strainer upstream to prevent damage from
particulates).
- Not applicable for measuring corrosive fluids.
- May not function properly with high viscosity fluids where the flow
profile is laminar.
- Cannot maintain calibration characteristics for a long time.
