7 application areas of glass rotor flowmeter
Dec 23, 2021
1. Industrial production process
Flow meter is one of the major types of process automation instruments and devices. It is widely used in metallurgy, electric power, coal, chemical industry, petroleum, transportation, construction, textile, food, medicine, agriculture, environmental protection and people's daily life In various fields of the national economy, it is an important tool for developing industrial and agricultural production, saving energy, improving product quality, and improving economic efficiency and management level. It occupies an important position in the national economy. Among the process automation instruments and devices, the flow instrument has two major functions: as a detection instrument for the process automation control system and a total meter for measuring the quantity of materials.
2. Glass rotor flowmeter, energy metering
Energy is divided into primary energy (coal, crude oil, coal-bed methane, petroleum gas and natural gas), secondary energy (electricity, coke, artificial gas, refined oil, liquefied petroleum gas, steam) and energy-carrying media (compressed air, oxygen, Nitrogen, hydrogen, water) etc. Energy metering is an important means for scientifically managing energy, realizing energy saving and consumption reduction, and improving economic efficiency. Flow meters are an important part of energy measurement instruments. Commonly used energy sources such as water, artificial gas, natural gas, steam and oil all use an extremely large number of flow meters. They are indispensable tools for energy management and economic accounting.
3. Environmental protection engineering
The discharge of flue gas, waste liquid, sewage, etc. seriously pollutes the atmosphere and water resources, and seriously threatens the human living environment. The country lists sustainable development as a national policy, and environmental protection will be the biggest issue in the 21st century. To control air and water pollution, management must be strengthened, and the basis of management is quantitative control of pollution.
my country is a country where coal is the main energy source. There are millions of chimneys in the country that continuously emit smoke into the atmosphere. Flue gas emission control is an important item of pollution. Each chimney must be equipped with flue gas analysis instruments and flow meters to form a continuous emission monitoring system. The flue gas flow rate has great difficulties. The difficulty is that the chimney is large in size and irregular in shape, the gas composition is variable, the flow rate range is large, dirt, dust, corrosion, high temperature, no straight pipe section, etc.
4. Transportation
There are five ways: railway and road, aviation, water transportation, and pipeline transportation. Although pipeline transportation has existed for a long time, its application is not widespread. With the emergence of environmental protection issues, the characteristics of pipeline transportation have attracted people's attention. Pipeline transportation must be equipped with flowmeters, which are the eyes of control, distribution and scheduling, as well as a *tool for safety monitoring and economic accounting.
5. Biotechnology
The 21st century will usher in the century of life sciences, and industries characterized by biotechnology will develop rapidly. There are many substances that need to be monitored and measured in biotechnology, such as blood and urine. The instrument development is extremely difficult, and there are many varieties.
6. Scientific Experiments
The flowmeters required for scientific experiments are not only large in number, but also extremely diverse in variety. According to statistics, a large part of the more than 100 types of flowmeters are used for scientific research. They are not produced in batches and are sold in the market. Many scientific research institutions and large enterprises have set up flowmeters developed by special teams.
7. Marine meteorology, rivers and lakes
These areas are open flow channels, and generally need to detect the flow rate, and then calculate the flow rate. The physical principles and fluid mechanics based on the flow meter and the flow meter are common, but the instrument principles, structures, and operating conditions are quite different.
