1. How to read the glass rotor flowmeter?
Read the scale with the eyes level with the upper plane of the rotor, starting from the 0 scale direction. The data read on the rotor flowmeter is instantaneous flow rate, either volumetric flow rate or mass flow rate. If it is a mass flow rate, you first convert it to a volume flow rate (unit: m3/s), and then estimate it by dividing the volume flow rate by the cross-sectional area based on the diameter of the rotor flowmeter (note: this is an estimation of early closing travel, because the cross-sectional area is not linear). The scale of the glass rotor flowmeter is calibrated by the production plant under local conditions using water and dry air as media that are close to ideal fluids. However, there are two situations where the scale value of a normal flowmeter cannot be directly used: first, when the measuring medium is not water and air, and second, when the measuring medium is land bench water and air, but its state (temperature, pressure) is different from the scale state. In this way, when using a flow meter, there is a problem of needing to correct the scale values in order to obtain accurate measurement results. Therefore, solving the calibration correction of glass rotor flow meters is the key to using this type of instrument effectively.
2. Should the rotor flowmeter be viewed from the top or bottom?
The rotor flowmeter should be viewed based on the scale value corresponding to the upper end face of the J-carried float.
1 The accurate reading method is to keep the line of sight level with the upper surface of the float (i.e. the plane with the maximum diameter), and then read the corresponding scale value of this plane on the scale tube.
5. The special case of metal tube rotor flowmeter: For opaque metal tube flowmeters, the float position cannot be directly seen. The reading method is usually pointer indication type: the displacement of the float is transmitted to the pointer through magnetic coupling, and the indication value of the
