The correct selection of ultrasonic flow meter requires accurate understanding of the technical parameters of the fluid being measured and the actual status of the process pipeline, and a clear measurement level. Choosing an ultrasonic flow meter is the right choice, but after clarifying the required measurement level, it is also very important to accurately grasp the technical parameters of the fluid being measured and the actual status of the process pipeline. Specifically, here are some things to pay attention to:

First of all, the properties of the medium being measured are very important. Different media require different flow meter models, and requirements such as the corrosiveness of the medium and explosion-proof level should be considered. If corrosive media is measured, the measuring tube and transducer should be made of stainless steel or other materials that meet the requirements.

Secondly, the gas content or particulate matter in the medium is also a factor that needs to be considered. Gas or particles in the medium will hinder the transmission of sound pulses, affect the measurement of time difference, lead to unstable flow measurement and increase measurement errors. In order to solve this problem, a gas separator should be installed upstream of the flow meter to ensure that the gas is removed in time. Doppler ultrasonic flow meter should be used for media with large gas content or large amounts of particulate matter.

Third, the medium operating temperature is also a factor that needs to be considered. Clarifying the commonly used temperatures, very low temperatures, and very high temperatures of the measured fluid allows manufacturers to select the measuring tube material, transducer material, cable type, sealing material, etc. according to the requirements of the working conditions. Temperature grades are usually divided into: below 60°C, below 150°C, below 200°C, etc. In order to ensure the fluidity of the medium and prevent it from hanging on the wall, it is necessary to heat the flow meter and control the heat tracing temperature.

Fourth, the medium operating pressure is also a factor that needs to be considered. The common working pressure of the fluid and the designed working pressure are very high. Manufacturers generally select models based on the design's very high working pressure to ensure the safety of the flow meter.

Fifth, the accuracy level and number of channels are determined. Determine the accuracy level of the flow meter selected according to the country's equipment requirements for energy metering instruments and the actual production situation, and pay attention to the reasonable performance-price ratio. The selection of the number of sound channels is mainly determined based on the required measurement accuracy level and on-site pipeline conditions (straight pipe section, flow pattern, gas content of the measured medium, etc.). When the time measurement accuracy of the flow meter is the same, the more channels, the better the low flow rate performance and the larger the range.

Sixth,flow range

When selecting a flow meter, factors such as the usual flow rate, very small flow rate, and very large flow rate of the fluid should be comprehensively considered. When the time measurement accuracy of the flow meter is the same, the more channels, the better the low flow rate performance and the larger the range.

Seventh, remote information transmission. If remote information transmission is required, the signal type and communication method must be clarified to match the selected flow meter.

Eighth, the flange standard of the process pipeline. When selecting a flow meter, the flange standard of the process pipeline must be clearly defined, such as GB national standards, JB Mechanical Department standards, HG Chemical Industry Department standards, SH petrochemical standards, jIS Japanese standards and ANSI American standards, etc. In addition, matching connecting flanges must be selected to facilitate installation.

Ninth, comprehensive consideration of the straight pipe section requirements and process pipeline layout. When selecting, the requirements of the straight pipe section and the reasonable layout and installation method of the process pipeline should be comprehensively considered at the same time. For example, it is necessary to know the situation of the front and rear straight pipe sections, whether there are elbows, expansions, tees, pumps, valves, etc., the type of valves and whether they are used for flow regulation, whether the installation method is horizontal installation, vertical installation, fixed installation or mobile installation, whether there is bidirectional flow and the frequency and regularity of flow direction changes, etc. Under the same principle and the same form of flow meter, the more channels, the higher the measurement accuracy, and the shorter the straight pipe section is required.

Tenth, power supply requirements: When selecting a flow meter, the on-site power supply (AC or DC, battery), voltage range, and controller interface requirements must be clearly defined, such as several wire systems.

To sum up, there are many factors to consider when choosing an ultrasonic flow meter, including the properties of the medium to be measured, the gas content or particulate matter in the medium, the material of the measurement pipe, measurement accuracy and measurement grade, and the installation environment. Only on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of these factors can an ultrasonic flow meter be selected correctly.
