Gas turbine flowmeter installation instructions
There are many kinds of gas flow
meters, and I will introduce you to a turbine flow
meter:
Turbine flow
meter installation precautions
In order to ensure accurate measurement of the turbine flow
meter, the installation location and method must be correctly selected.
Requirements for straight pipe sections:
The flow
meter must be installed horizontally on the pipeline (the pipeline is inclined within 50). When installing, the flow
meter axis should be concentric with the pipeline axis and the flow direction should be consistent.
The length of the pipeline upstream of the flow
meter should have a straight pipe section of not less than 2D. If the installation site is sufficient, it is recommended that the upstream straight pipe section is 20D and the downstream pipe section is 5D.
Requirements for piping:
The inner and downstream pipes of the flow
meter installation point have the same inner dia
meter as the inside dia
meter of the flow
meter.
Requirements for the bypass:
In order to ensure that the flow
meter does not affect the normal use of the medium during maintenance, a shut-off valve (shut-off valve) should be installed on the pipe before and after the flow
meter, and a bypass pipe should be installed. The flow control valve should be installed downstream of the flow
meter. When the flow
meter is in use, the upstream shut-off valve must be fully open to avoid unstable flow in the upstream part of the fluid.
