LUGB Vortex Flow Meter for Industrial Pipelines with Temperature Pressure and Flow Measurement Functions

Specification

LUGB vortex flowmeter is a kind of velocity flowmeter, which is designed based on the Karman vortex principle and is mainly used for flow measurement of medium fluid in industrial pipelines, such as flow control and metering of various media such as gas, steam or liquid.

LUGB vortex flowmeter can achieve the following functions according to different selections: measure parameters such as temperature, pressure, instantaneous flow and cumulative flow of medium fluid in industrial pipelines, and has pulse output, 4-20mA analog signal output, RS485 communication (Modbus RTU protocol), Hart protocol, Internet of Things GPRS and other functions.

Vortex flowmeters are widely used in heating, gas supply, chemical industry, environmental protection, metallurgy, textile, steel, medicine, papermaking, drainage and other factories and mines

Measurement and control of superheated steam, saturated steam, compressed air and general gas (oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, natural gas, coal gas, etc.), water and liquid (such as:
water, gasoline, alcohol, benzene, etc.)

Measuring range
The flow range of different caliber instruments will be different. When selecting instruments, you must select the instrument according to the flow range. The most taboo is to select the instrument according to the thickness of the pipeline. The biggest disadvantage of selecting instruments according to pipelines is that it is easy to cause measurement errors due to insufficient flow.
The flow range of the vortex flowmeter is based on the operating flow. Therefore, when selecting instruments, the flow is converted into the operating flow and then compared with the flow range table, so as to make the commonly used flow in the middle range of the instrument measurement as much as possible.

this manual carefully before installation and debugging in order to prevent the instrument from being
damaged or unable to perform its best performance and ensure the stable operation of the instrument. Step 1: open the box inspection must read
1. Check the packing list to see whether the accessories are complete. 2. Appearance inspection to see if the instrument is complete and damaged due to
transportation;
3. Power test. If the battery is powered up, turn on the switch to check the display state of the
meter.4. Check whether the installation accessories are complete and prepare for installation. Step 2: read the installation steps
1. Choose an appropriate installation environment. The ambient temperature should be
-20-55℃, and the ambient humidity should be within the range of 5%-90%. See 6.1 installation
environment requirements for the instrument for details;
2. Welding the product accessories, instruments should not be online welding (flange clamping
instrument),Online welding may cause sensor thermal damage;
3. Purge the pipeline to ensure that there is no residual welding slag in the pipeline;
4. Install the instrument, pay attention to the direction sign of the instrument, prohibit reverse
installation, ensure that the front and rear straight pipe meet the requirements,See installation
requirements of instrument pipelines in 6.2 for details;
5. Open the front valve slowly to prevent air hammer or water hammer phenomenon from
hurting the instrument;
6. Pipeline pressure test and leak detection to ensure that the pipeline does not leak;
7. Air tightness test to ensure that the installation instrument meets the sealing requirements;
8. Slowly open the back end valve to ensure stable flow field of medium passing through;
9. Instrument for normal operation;
10. Intallation environment should avoid violent vibration, vibration environment will lead to
unstable flow or static flow.In the case of slight vibration, pipe fastening device can be installed at
the upstream and downstream 2D position, and soft connection can be installed at the connection
place with the fan and other equipment. 11. The installation diagram of vortex flowmeter is as follows:

measuring the volume flow rate of the fluid condition

Working principle
Vortex flowmeter is a speed-type flowmeter produced according to karman's vortex principle, which can be used for the measurement and metering of conventional gas, steam and liquid.Vortex
flow sensor has high precision and wide range ratio, no moving parts in use, which can improve
mechanical stability and reduce maintenance.Vortex flowmeter is almost not affected by the
temperature, pressure and composition of medium when measuring the volume of working condition. Therefore, it is convenient to calibrate the instrument, so vortex flow meter is widely used in
production and life.

Karman Vortex
Alternating and regular vortex rows are formed downstream of the vortex generator. Assume that the frequency of vortex occurrence is f, the average speed of the flow of the measured medium is V, and the width of the vortex generating body's upstream surface is d. According to the Karman vortex street principle, there is the following relationship:
f=StV/d formula (1)
In the formula:
f - Karman vortex frequency HZ generated on one side of the generating body
St-Strauhal number (dimensionless number)
V-Average flow velocity of fluid (m/s)
d-width of vortex generator (m)
It can be seen that the instantaneous flow rate can be calculated by measuring the Kaman vortex separation frequency. Among them, Strohal number (St) is a dimensionless unknown number,
The figure below shows the relationship between Strouhal number (St) and Reynolds number (Re).

Strouhal number and Reynolds number
In the straight part of St=0.17 in the curve table, the vortex release frequency is proportional to the flow rate, which is the measurement range of the vortex flow sensor. As long as the frequency f is detected, the flow rate of the fluid in the pipe can be obtained, and the volume flow rate can be obtained from the flow rate V. The ratio of the measured pulse number to the volume is called the instrument constant (K), see formula (2)
K=3600f/Q(1/m³) Formula (2)
In the formula: K=instrument constant (m-3).
f=number of pulses
Q=volume flow (m³)
