Product overview
Vortex flow meter is a kind of flow meter that uses piezoelectric crystal as the detecting element to transmit a standard signal proportional to the flow
The instrument can be directly with the instrumentation system, can also be used with computers and centralized system supporting the measurement of flow
parameters of different media. The instrument is based on the detection principle of fluid vortex street, the detection of vortex street piezoelectric
crystal does not contact with the medium, the instrument has a simple structure, good versatility and high stability.
Vortex flow meters can be used for flow detection and measurement of various gases, liquids and steam.
Vortex flow meter can be used with the company's production of intelligent flow totalizer supporting, but also with other instrumentation manufacturers of
intelligent instrumentation supporting the use of a strong generality.
Second, the working principle of vortex flow meter is the basic principle of Carmen vortex principle, that is, "vortex vortex separation frequency is proportional to
the flow rate" flow meter flow body diameter and the nominal caliber of the instrument is basically the same. As shown in Figure 1, the flow of the body
inserted into an approximate isosceles triangle of the column, the axis of the column and the measured direction of flow of media perpendicular to the
bottom surface facing the fluid.
When the measured medium flows through the column, alternating vortices on both sides of the column, vortex generation and separation, in the
column downstream of the formation of a staggered arrangement of two rows of vortices, that is, "vortex street". Theoretical analysis and experiments
have proved that the frequency of vortex separation is directly proportional to the column side of the medium flow rate.

Where.
f - frequency of vortex separation at the
column side (H z); V - velocity at the column
side (m/s).
d - width of the column's flow-facing surface (m).

Sr - Strouhal number. It is a constant that depends on the shape of the column cross-section and is essentially independent of the nature of the fluid and the

magnitude of the flow rate.

Selection Guide
5.1 Determination of caliber.
Vortex sensor caliber is different, its measurement range is also different, and each caliber of its measurement range with the type of medium being
measured and the working conditions of temperature and pressure changes, the choice of the corresponding measurement range of the caliber of the flow
meter has an important factor in the actual measurement of the effect.
5.2 Determination of structural form.
According to the actual working conditions of the user site needs to determine the vortex flow meter using a one-piece on-site display type or split-type
remote transmission type: A, the user needs to be in the pipeline site directly on-site view of the flow rate, you can choose a one-piece on-site display type.
B. If the vortex flow meter is installed in a high position off the ground, or vertically suspended pipeline, it is suitable for the split-type remote
transmission type C. If the remote transmission type is selected, if it is saturated steam, it should be selected for automatic temperature
compensation or pressure compensation, if it is superheated steam, it should be selected for simultaneous compensation of temperature and pressure,
and the other mediums according to the actual situation to determine whether compensation is needed, if the measurement accuracy is not required to be
high, the temperature or pressure is constant, it can be selected for fixed pressure or fixed temperature compensation, and also fixed density
compensation. If the measurement accuracy is not required to be high, the temperature or pressure is constant, fixed pressure or fixed temperature
compensation can be selected, or fixed density compensation.
D. No matter which type of intelligent flow totalizer you choose, you should consider whether you need to have RS485 communication interface.
E. When choosing the intelligent flow totalizer, should consider whether it is necessary to provide the instrumentation box, the intelligent flow totalizer will
be placed therein, in order to prevent the set parameters to be adjusted arbitrarily;.
F, the selection of remote transmission type, should consider whether the need for wireless remote flow monitoring system, to achieve real-time monitoring
and management of the pipeline flow; G, if the supplementary measurement medium is flammable and explosive media or the measurement of the
environment there are flammable and explosive gases, explosion-proof sensors and explosion-proof measurement should be selected
System.

5.3 Determination of the connection: vortex sensor connection is divided into four types of flange mounted, flange connection, threaded connection,
clamp connection, each connection has its own characteristics, according to the actual needs of the user site to determine the appropriate mode of
connection, the commonly used connection for the flange mounted and flange connection

Selection of flow ranges for operating conditions
Different caliber, different media, vortex flow sensor, transmitter measurement range is not the same, special media selection shall be calculated
to determine. Selection of gas flow range
Vortex flowmeter on the line flow is generally not affected by the media pressure and temperature, the flow range is mainly dependent on the working density
and kinematic viscosity of the medium, so the determination of the flow range is actually accounting for the lower limit of the available flow.

Calculation 1: First calculate the lower case flow limit Qp determined by density Eq.

VIII. Installation and

wiring (a) Installation
requirements
(1) Selection of installation location
a. Ambient Temperature: The working ambient temperature of the flowmeter is not lower than -40℃, not higher than +55℃, such as by the heat radiation of
the production equipment, it should take heat insulation and ventilation measures.
b. Ambient air: avoid installing the flow meter in the environment containing corrosive gases, such as can only be installed in the environment containing
corrosive gases

Then, it is necessary to provide adequate ventilation measures. c. Mechanical vibration and shock: The structure of the flowmeter is robust and will not be damaged

by vibration, but vibration can produce interference

Signal, if the pipeline vibration and shock is strong, and the medium flow rate is low, it may lead to interference signal is greater than the flow signal,
resulting in the display value error. Therefore, the flow meter should be installed as far as possible in the vibration and impact of small places,
the installation position in the 5-20 Hz vibration frequency, the vibration acceleration is not greater than 19, otherwise vibration damping measures
should be taken. For example, in the installation of the flow meter vibration source to the pipeline to install fixed support, and the installation of anti-vibration
pads and other measures.
Special Note: The meter cannot be installed at the compressor port where the vibration is strong, and should be installed after the gas storage.

d. Flow meter installation location should be sufficient space around the installation of the flow meter should be installed in high places as far as possible
to have a working platform, in order to facilitate the installation and maintenance. In addition, in order to maintain and check the convenience, there
should be available near the measuring instrument with the AC 220V power socket.
e. The flow meter is best installed indoors, must be installed outdoors, there should be sun and moisture-proof measures.
f. Flow meters should be installed away from high-power motors, frequency converters, high-power transformers and radio transceivers, otherwise, it may
cause the meter not to work properly.
(2) Requirements for installation piping
a. The upstream and downstream sides of the flow meter must have long enough straight sections of the same diameter. The length should be in accordance
with the following table

b. In the specified length of the straight pipe section, the pipe inlet section and flow section visually should be straight. In order to ensure that the
measured medium full pipe, the flow meter should try to avoid installation in the regulating valve, half-open gate valve downstream. Generally not in the
expansion of the pipe after the installation of the flow transmitter.
c. The flowmeter can be installed vertically, horizontally or at any other angle. When the flowmeter is installed on a vertical or inclined pipe, the fluid flow
direction
It should be bottom-up. d. When it is necessary to install pressure-taking or temperature-measuring points near the flowmeter, the pressure-taking point
should be outside of 3D after the flowmeter, and the temperature-measuring point should be outside of 5D after the flowmeter. e. In order to facilitate the
maintenance of the flowmeter, the installation of a by-pass pipe is strongly recommended. In the need to clean the pipeline or the installation of the
flowmeter pipeline can not be cut off, it is necessary to install a bypass pipe.
(3) Installation Precautions
The following must be observed during installation.

a. The measured medium flow direction must be consistent with the flow direction head marking on the flow meter
b. When installing the card-type flowmeter, you can ensure that the pipe and the flowmeter flow body concentric through the special concave flange
concave surface. And pay attention to the gasket can not go deep into the pipe.
(4) Insertion of the vortex flowmeter into a pipe requires an 87 round hole in the mounting.
Weld the connection flange supplied with the meter to the round hole, requiring that the open flange stub must be perpendicular to the pipe and that the axis
of the stub coincides with the centerline of the pipe. As shown in Figure V.

The short pipe of the connecting flange has machined tabs which are aligned with the outer wall of the pipe and then welded.

Figure 5 Insertion vortex flowmeter opening flange and pipe welding

a. Determine whether to install a ball valve as needed. In the maintenance of fashion dismantling flowmeter allows interruption of flow, then do not need to
install ball valves; if not allowed to interrupt the flow, then need to install ball valves. Ball valves are supplied by our company, model: Q41F16(DN80), if you
need to install ball valves, you must specify when ordering.
b. If you need to install a ball valve, first install the ball valve on the open flange, then open the ball valve, and then install the insertion vortex flowmeter on the ball
valve, see Figure III. If it is not necessary to install the ball valve, then directly install the insertion vortex flowmeter on the open flange, when installing, please
note that the speed measurement body should be in the center of the pipe.
