Differential pressure principle


Differential pressure principle (Conti.)
 This group of flow sensors is based on
the fact that pressure in a moving fluid
is proportional to the flow. The pressure
is detected with a pressure sensor;
based on the physical dimensions of the
system, the flow can be calculated.
 The simplest flow sensor is called the
orifice plate (Figure ..), and is simply a
restriction in the pipe that causes a
pressure drop in the flow, much like a
resistor that causes a drop in voltage in
a circuit.

Industrial Instruments Ultrasonic Flowmeters

 Flow is one of the most important physical parameters measured in


industry and water management. *
 For many years, differential pressure types of flowmeters have
been the most widely applied flow measuring device for fluid flows
in pipes and open channels that require accurate measurement at
reasonable cost. **
 Electromagnetic and ultrasonic flowmeters. Whereas ultrasonic
flowmeters can be applied in nearly any kind of flowing liquid,
Electromagnetic flowmeters require a minimum electric conductivity
of the liquid for operation.
 In addition, the cost of ultrasonic flowmeters is nearly independent
of pipe diameter, whereas the price of electromagnetic flowmeters
increases drastically with pipe diameter.

Buidangthanh.3i@gmail.com Ha Noi, March 2012 45 Buidangthanh.3i@gmail.com Ha Noi, March 2012 47

Ultrasonic Flowmeters

 There are various types of ultrasonic flowmeters in use for discharge


measurement: (1) Transit time: This is today’s state-of-the-art technology
and most widely used type, and will be discussed in this chapter section.
This type of ultrasonic flowmeter makes use of the difference in the time
for a sonic pulse to travel a fixed distance, first against the flow and then
in the direction of flow.
Ultrasonic method  Transmit time flowmeters are sensitive to suspended solids or air bubbles
in the fluid. (2) Doppler: This type is more popular and less expensive, but
is not considered as accurate as the transit time flowmeter. It makes use
of the Doppler

Industrial Instruments
Introduction to Coriolis method

 Coriolis flowmeters were developed in the 1980s to


fill the need for a flowmeter that measures mass
directly, as opposed to those that measure velocity
or volume. Because they are independent of
changing fluid parameters, Coriolis meters have
found wide application. *
 By measuring mass directly as it passes through the
meter, Coriolis meters make a highly accurate
measurement that is virtually independent of
changing process conditions. As a result, Coriolis
meters can be used on a variety of process fluids
without recalibration and without compensating for
parameters specific to a particular type of fluid. **

Coriolis method principle Coriolis method characteristics-Advantages

 The Coriolis force induced by flow is described by an equation that is • The most significant advantage of Coriolis meters is high
equivalent to Newton’s second law for rotational motion. This equation is
accuracy under wide flow ranges and conditions. Because
as follows: Coriolis meters measure mass flow directly, they have
fewer sources of errors.
• Coriolis meters have a high turndown, which makes them
applicable over a wide flow range. This gives them a
strong advantage over orifice plate meters, which typically
have low turndown.
In Equation above, F is force, m is the mass to be applied to a known point • Coriolis meters are also insensitive to swirl effects, making

Coriolis principle Coriolis method characteristics-Advantages

 Coriolis meters have a low cost of ownership. Unlike


turbine and positive displacement meters, Coriolis
meters have no moving parts to wear down over time.
The only motion is due to the vibration of the tube,
and the motion of the fluid flowing inside the tube.
 Because Coriolis flowmeters are designed not to be
affected by fluid parameters such as viscosity,
pressure, temperature, and density, they do not have
to be recalibrated for different fluids.
 Installation is simpler than installation for many other
flowmeters, especially orifice plate meters, because
Coriolis meters have fewer components.
