Nine, installation instructions:

Can work in normal condition, in order to make the flowmeter installation personnel must understand on the instrument of the concrete structure, characteristics and traffic signal conversion, understand the role of each link in the process of signal transmission, according to the product manual for installation.In general precession vortex installation using the following points should be paid attention to.

1, choose reasonable installation place.The installation site should avoid strong electric power equipment, high frequency equipment, strong power switch;Avoid high temperature heat source and radiation of heat;Avoid high temperature and strong corrosive atmosphere influence: avoid strong vibration and installation, wiring, maintenance party then.In the upstream and downstream sensors, must eliminate the long pipeline vibration generated by moving.

2, general requirement level installation, by the flow of current body should be consistent with refers to the flow arrow on the shell.Can be installed vertical or inclined.When the liquid should be sure sensor is completely filled with liquid.In order to does not affect the normal fluid loss, maintenance Suggestions in the installation of the instrument and add bypass.

3, low requirement for straight pipe before and after, in principle don't need a straight pipe before and after the flowmeter is allowed, but general requirements before the instrument has 3 d length of straight pipe, instrument after 1 d length of straight pipe.Special circumstances require 5 d and 3 d length.When a single or double bend bend pipe bending radius is greater than 1.8 D, flowmeter can don't straight pipe before and after.Under the condition of various pipe installation of straight pipe length such as required.

Falling in to 4, measuring gas or steam can be used when the degree of pressure compensation, the installation position of thermometer and pressure gauge.

5) when the current body contains impurities, in front of the instrument should be loaded already device or on a screen, but still should guarantee the straight pipe in front of the instrument.

6, measuring a small amount of heterogeneous gas liquid two phase flow sensor installation method.Measuring liquid, there may be a small amount of gas phase in the pipeline, its content does not exceed the prescribed gas liquid two phase fluid, so as to prevent gas stranded inside the sensor, you must install gas separator.When measuring the amount of gas, when the pipe is measured condensate gas may be produced, and gas exist in unstable liquid phase was not removed, in order to prevent fluid retention, vertical installation within the sensor.Fluid when measuring high and low temperature sensor itself should be effective guarantee measures.

7, instrument measured by measuring the volume of a gas flow for the actual flow of the gas being measured work condition.If the actual flow conversion into standard state of flow, can press type calculation type, 4?P is a standard volume flow conditions;4, it is the working status of the volume flow amount;Ho is the absolute pressure of the gas being measured standard condition;To the thermodynamic temperature of the gas being measured is a standard condition;The household is work state, the absolute pressure of the gas being measured;T is the working status the thermodynamic temperature of the gas being measured;Z is the compressibility of the gas being measured work condition.

8, when the pipeline is longer, vibration may occur when the fixed bracket should be installed at upstream and downstream flow meter, prevent the pipeline vibration.According to the experience, the flow measurement value vulnerable to air flow pulsation and pressure changes.

9, volume flow meter coefficient K.vn and mass zui flow meter coefficient K,,, o is established in the state of normal temperature calibration instrument before they leave the factory.Instrument working status and laboratory calibration status is large, the instrument coefficient K, and K 'correction should be done on the instrument coefficient correction method is the same as the vortex flowmeter.

Ten, installation note requirements:

Click the flow mark 1, sensors can be tilted in vertical, horizontal, or any location on the installation;

2, when the pipeline vibration source is longer or distance is relatively close, support should be installed at upstream or downstream of flowmeter, in order to eliminate the influence of the pipeline vibration;

3, sensor installation location should have enough space, so that the flow meter inspection and maintenance, and should meet the environmental requirements of flowmeter;

4, should avoid the disturbance of external magnetic field;

5, when used in outdoor installation, should have cover, avoid the strong sunlight and rain erosion, affect the service life of the instrument;

6, when the pipeline pressure testing, should pay attention to the configured intelligent flowmeter pressure pressure sensor measuring range, in order to avoid over-voltage damage pressure sensor.

Installed 7, should pay attention to stress, the effect of upstream and downstream piping flow meter should be coaxial, otherwise it will produce shear stress.The location of the installation flowmeter should consider the thickness of the sealing gasket, or install a elastic expansion joints in the downstream side.

Should be clear before 8, installation flow meter of the pipeline welding slag and other sundry.

9 and put into operation, should slowly open flowmeter, downstream of the valve, in order to avoid air flow is too sharp and blunt bad on the moment.

10, when the meter requires signal remote transmission, electric performance indicators should be in strict accordance with the "" request access external power (8 ~ 24 VDC), it is strictly prohibited in the direct access to 220 vac or 380 vac signal output power;

11, the user may not change the connection mode of explosion protection system and arbitrary twisted each output pin connector;

12, flow meter is running, not allowed to open the rear cover change instrument parameters, otherwise the normal operation of the meter;

13, regularly check the flowmeter flange leakage situation.

Eleven, matters needing attention:

In order to better use ZW - LUX series, attention should be paid to the following:

1, the right selection:

Selection should grasp the two basic principles in the process, to ensure the production safety, second, we must ensure the accuracy.To do this, we must to carry out the selection of the three parameters, namely the immediate and long-term zui, zui small and common instantaneous flow (mainly used for the size of the selected instrument specifications), the design of the measured medium pressure (mainly used for the selected nominal pressure level meter), the actual working pressure (pressure level) is mainly used for the selected instrument pressure sensors.

2, before using the calibration:

In order to ensure that the instrument in the future work in the process of the measurement result is reliable and accurate, should be in formal before installation to be sent to the detection capability and qualification of authorities, conduct a verification system of the whole flow range.

3, pay attention to the installation:

Although this kind of instrument for process installation and use of the special requirements of environment is not too much, but any kind of flow measurement instrument has some common, such as far as possible avoid the vibration and the high temperature environment, away from the flow interference elements (such as compressor, separator, pressure regulating valve, reducer, and pipe, elbow, etc.), keep straight pipe before and after the meter wall smooth and flat, ensure to clean single-phase fluid measured medium, etc.

4, the late management:

In order to ensure the accuracy, reliability of meter long (to avoid unexpected shutdown and loss of data), should be system calibration on a regular basis (every 1 ~ 2 years), transcribing header data (daily or weekly), change the medium parameters (monthly or quarterly) and not regularly check the battery status, check the instrument coefficient and seal etc.

5, internal maintenance:

Temperament of dirt or other reasons, the need for measuring cavity and its components of instrumentation for regular inspection and cleaning.One thing must pay special attention to: for the same specifications of the vortex precession flowmeter, the vortex core components such as body, diversion and are not interchangeable.Otherwise, he must calibration instrument measurement coefficient and the matching of the temperature and pressure sensor calibration system.

Twelve, flange connection size:

13, selection of coding:

14, designing order selection guidelines:

1, instrument selection, as far as possible not to use the work flow in the lower limit value, so the meter diameter should be as small as possible, in order to obtain a larger flow rate and flow range.

2, the flowmeter should be used in the technical parameters of medium pressure and temperature range.Don't deliberately choose the high pressure level and ultra-high temperature instrument, should be selected according to the actual work pressure and temperature instruments, which had higher prices.

3, in the explosive dangerous location, should choose explosion-proof type flowmeter.

4, the lower limit of flowmeter flow depends on the operation condition of the medium density and kinematic viscosity, the maximum flow is generally not affected by medium pressure and temperature, so to determine the flow range as long as you determine the actual minimum flow can be available.Calculate the minimum flow rate, flow range check table to determine the appropriate diameter.
