Products overview:
ZW - LGW seriesBend flow meterWith traditional orifice flowmeter as belongs to the category of differential pressure flowmeter, just a way of producing differential pressure and orifice meter, orifice is using scaling principle of differential pressure of fluid, and bend sensor is the use of fluid inertia principle of differential pressure.
Both inherited the differential pressure type flowmeter the advantages of simple structure, stable performance, precise measurement, and overcome the differential pressure type flowmeter pressure loss, easy to jam, shortcomings and so on maintenance difficulties.With its outstanding energy-saving effect, high stability, high accuracy, high adaptability, in the heat of the steam, thermal power, metallurgy, petrochemical industry, coal gas, natural gas, hot and cold water, oil, air, acetylene, the media such as h2s, co2 two-phase flow measurement of rapid promotion.

Second, the working principle:
ZW - LGW seriesThe principle of elbow flowmeter is when a fluid at a certain temperature under the condition of a certain pressure flow through a pipe, when it flows through a turn, the fluid will make a corresponding circumferential rotary motion.According to the theory of fluid forced vortex, fluid in a circular motion in pipe and solid state operating in the space circular motion, so fluid will inevitably produce inertial centrifugal force, the size of the centrifugal force and flow velocity of fluid, fluid density and a circle of radius of curvature radius of curvature (i.e., bend sensor) and other factors.
Due to bend radius of curvature sensor is known, and through the fluid density and bend sensor can be based on the determination of the parameters such as temperature, pressure of the fluid by host computer accurately, so the size of the centrifugal force generated in a bend on the sensor is just a function of fluid velocity.As long as measure the size of the centrifugal force, it can measure the fluid flow in the pipe, the flow rate multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the pipe and the density of fluid, fluid flow rate can be calculated and determined.The calculation is as follows:
Type (1) through the pipe bending is given the average flow velocity of fluid and the differential value of function:
V = a (P1, P2)/rho beta -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- (1)
Among them: V - average flow velocity of fluid;
A - the integrated flow coefficient, a = f (bend bend diameter ratio, Reynolds number and power of medium viscosity, pipe roughness, etc.), especially to the influence of the bending diameter ratio zui is important:
P1 and P2 - curved pipe, the lateral pressure difference;
The density of rho - fluid;
Beta - index;
Calculate the average flow velocity V, can function expression for computing the flow:
Q = S * V * rho -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - (2)
Type:
S - bend cross-sectional area;
V - average flow velocity of fluid;Scope of application
1, the nominal diameter 25 mm or less DN 2000 mm or less
2, nominal pressure: PN 10 mpa or less
3, medium temperature: 450 ℃ or less t. (t > 450 ℃ when ordering notification)
4, Reynolds number range: ReD > 104
5, precision grades: grade 1, 1.5 on the Richter scale are unlikely
