Principio:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

According to Bernoulli’s formula, the flowing fluid obeys the law of conservation of energy, that is the sum of the kinetic energy and the static energy is constant. When the fluid is passing the “V” shape block, the flow area reduces, the flow velocity increases, the static pressure reduces, which produce the static pressure difference, the pressure difference’s square root is in direct proportion with the flow rate, so measure the differential pressure can calculate the flow rate. The wedge flow sensor is non-standard part, so every wedge flow meter must be calibrated with the fluid before leaving factory.<\/p>\n

Installation and using<\/strong><\/h5>\n

(1) Make sure the fluid which is close to the upstream of wedge flow sensor is fully developmental turbulent flow and no swirls.
\n(2) Make sure the average inner diameter’s error in at least 2 x DN length of pipe at the upstream of the wedge flow sensor not excess\u00b13% of the average pipeline’s inner diameter.
\n(3) The wedge flow meter can be installed on the horizontal or vertical pipeline with same nominal diameter. The pipeline’s inner wall shall be smooth and no attached substance. If the flow sensor is vertical mounting, the fluid shall flow from down to up, shall make the flow meter can exhaust the air bubbles conveniently to avoid the instrument’s zero point drifting.
\n(4) The installation diagram of the wedge flow meter as follow:<\/p>\n

The throttling element of wedge flow meter is a “V” shape block, its smooth apex angle is downwards, which does not cause the liquid with suspending particles or the viscous liquid staying at the upstream of the throttling element. The wedge flow meter can measure the liquid flow rate with high viscosity. For the process of large pipe size with low flow rate, the wedge flow meter has great advantage, it is specially suitable for volume flow and mass flow measurement in the industry of petroleum and chemical.
