Is it better to install a rotor flowmeter horizontally or vertically?
The rotor flowmeter must be installed vertically to ensure measurement accuracy, and it cannot be installed horizontally under normal circumstances. After understanding the necessity of installation direction, we can grasp it as follows: vertical installation allows the float to rise and fall naturally by gravity, and flow scale calibration is designed based on the vertical state. In scenarios such as hospital oxygen supply systems and feed pipelines for chemical plant reactors, special requirements are made for the flow meter to be installed at a 90 degree vertical angle to the ground. Special handling is required in case of special circumstances
1. Some specialized models are designed with universal joint structures, which can support inclined installation at a certain angle, but these belong to special customized products; 2. Media containing suspended particles may form sediment, and sometimes it is necessary to tilt slightly to facilitate discharge, but it is necessary to contact the manufacturer in advance to adjust the calibration parameters. There are three points that are easy to overlook during actual installation: the pipeline support frame should be kept at least 20cm away from the flow meter to avoid stress affecting the floats movement; The flow direction arrow must be consistent with the actual flow direction of the medium; During regular disassembly and cleaning, it is important to prevent collisions from causing deformation of the conical tube. A few real-life application scenarios would be more intuitive: the dosing pipeline of a water treatment plant requires real-time observation of flow rate, and the vertically in
2. Installation and use method of plastic tube rotor flowmeter
The installation and use method of LZS series plastic tube rotor flowmeter is as follows:
1. Installation method of Kuankai Brother: Connect directly by inserting and bonding: Use ABS or PVC plastic tube, directly insert into the flowmeter interface with special adhesive and fix it.
. Flange connection: If it needs to be connected to a metal pipeline, ABS or PVC flanges should be used to bond the flowmeter first, and then the flange should be connected to the metal pipeline to ensure sealing. Installation direction and angle perpendicular installation: The flowmeter must be installed vertically on the pipeline, with a tilt angle of less than 5 °, otherwise measurement errors may occur due to uneven force on the rotor.
