Metal float flowmeter is a commonly used flow measurement instrument. Correct installation is crucial to the accuracy and stability of the flowmeter. The following are the installation specifications for metal float flowmeters:
1. Installation location selection: The metal float flowmeter should be installed on the horizontal section of the pipeline, at least 5 times the diameter of the pipeline from the inlet and outlet of the pump station or other equipment.
2. Installation direction: The installation direction of the metal float flowmeter should be convenient for observation and maintenance. It is usually installed on a horizontal pipeline, and the fluid should maintain forward flow.
3. Installation location: The metal float flowmeter should be installed in a location without vibration, vibration and strong pulsation to avoid affecting the accuracy of measurement.
4. Installation pipe length: There should be a long enough straight pipe section before and after the metal float flowmeter. The length of the straight pipe section at the front end is 10 times the pipe diameter, and the length of the straight pipe section at the rear end is 5 times the pipe diameter.
5. Installation bracket: The metal float flowmeter should be installed using a special bracket. The bracket should be fixed firmly and reliably to avoid being affected by external vibration.
6. Installation and sealing: The connection of the metal float flowmeter should be sealed with a sealing ring or gasket to ensure no leakage.
7. Installation precautions: When installing a metal float flowmeter, avoid leakage, loosening or deformation, and violent installation is strictly prohibited.
8. Installation acceptance: After the installation is completed, acceptance and debugging should be carried out to ensure the normal operation of the measurement system.
In general, the installation of metal float flow meters should be carried out in accordance with standard specifications to ensure measurement accuracy and stability.
Before installation, the installation site and pipelines should be fully inspected and prepared to ensure that there will be no problems during the installation process, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the flow meter.
