1. What’s the working principle of the nitrogen gas flow meter？
For Vortex nitrogen gas flow meter：
A vortex nitrogen gas flow meter is a new type for closed pipe fluid flow measurement based on the Carmen vortex principle. The vortex flowmeter has good media suitability. Without temperature and pressure compensation, it can directly measure the working volume flow of steam, air, gases, water, and liquids. It is also equipped with temperature and pressure sensors to measure standard volumetric and mass flow rates. It is the ideal alternative to throttle flow meters. To improve the vortex nitrogen flowmeter’s high temperature and vibration resistance, BCST has developed an improved vortex flow sensor. Due to its unique construction and selection of materials, this series of sensors can be used under severe conditions of high temperatures (350°C) and strong vibrations (≤1g).
In practice, the maximum flow rate is often well below the upper limit of the meter. As the load changes, the minimum flow rate tends to fall below the lower limit of the meter. It prevents the instrument from operating in its optimum operating band. To solve this problem, you can use a reducer to increase the flow rate at the measurement. At the same time, a smaller diameter gauge is also used to facilitate the measurement. However, these reducers must be rectified using a straight section of pipe with a length of 15D or more between the reducer and the meter. It makes machining or installation extremely inconvenient.
For this reason, BCST has developed a reducer rectifier with a curved longitudinal section shape. It has multiple rectification functions, increasing the flow rate and changing the flow distribution. You can combine it with a vortex flowmeter in a single unit. It eliminates the need for additional straight pipe sections and reduces the requirement for straight pipe sections in the process pipe. It makes installation very easy.
The battery-powered in-situ display gas vortex flowmeter uses micro-power technology for ease of use. It is powered by lithium batteries and can run uninterrupted for more than a year. It saves on the purchase and installation costs of cables and display instruments. It can also display instantaneous and cumulative flow rates in situ. Temperature-compensated vortex flow meters with temperature sensors can directly measure the temperature of saturated steam and calculate the pressure to display the mass flow rate of saturated steam. The temperature- and pressure-compensated type is integrated with temperature and pressure sensors. It can directly measure the temperature and pressure of the gaseous medium when used for gas flow measurement. It can also display the standard volume flow rate of a gas.
For thermal nitrogen gas flow meter：
Thermal flow meters are flow meters based on the principle of thermal diffusion. It means that when a fluid flows through a heated object, the amount of heat lost from that object is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid. The sensors in this range of flow meters have two standard-grade RTDs, one acting as a heat source and the other measuring the temperature of the fluid. As the fluid flows, the temperature difference between them is linearly related to the magnitude of the flow rate. This relationship is then converted into a linear output of the measured flow signal using microelectronic control technology.
According to the King’s law of thermal effects, there is a mathematical relationship between the heating power P, the temperature difference ΔT (TRH-TRMG), and the mass flow rate Q. P/ΔT = K1 + K2 f(Q)K3 K1, K2, and K3 are constants related to the physical properties of the gas. The thermal gas mass flow meter has a unique way of measuring temperature differences. It overcomes the disadvantage of not measuring gas flow due to the gas’s large zero-point drift caused by water, oil, impurities, etc. You can also use it to measure the mass flow of wet gases. For example, we can detect air volume (velocity) in underground air extraction, supply, and exhaust systems in real-time.

6. What are the installation considerations of nitrogen gas flowmeters?
For vortex nitrogen gas flow meter:
â—†A vortex flowmeter can be installed indoors or outdoors.
â—†In a harsh environment, outdoor installation should pay attention to the protection to prevent the climate outside the environment on the flowmeter table body corrosion.
◆Vortex flowmeter in the pipeline can be installed along the axis of the vertical pipe direction at 360 ° arbitrary, can be horizontal, vertical, inclined installation.
â—†When measuring liquids, you must fill the pipeline with liquid, so in the sensor’s vertical or inclined installation, the direction of fluid flow must be from the bottom up.
â—†A vortex flowmeter needs to be installed in the pipeline without mechanical vibration. If the pipeline has a vibration, change the installation position or do a fixed bracket.
â—†Vortex flowmeter should avoid installation in the magnetic field is relatively large, strong radiation, small space, maintenance is not convenient occasions, reduce external interference.
â—†Vortex flowmeter before to avoid the installation of valves and in the upstream side, the downstream side should be left long enough straight pipe section.
â—†When installing the vortex flowmeter, the inner diameter of the pipe must be the same as the inner diameter of the sensor.
◆If different, the diameter of the sensor should be slightly larger than the pipe. The error between the sensor diameter and the inner diameter of the pipe should be ≤ 3%.
For thermal nitrogen gas flow meter:
â—†If the converter is installed outdoors, you must add an instrument case to avoid rain and sunlight.
â—†Prohibit installation in strongly vibrating situations and environments with large amounts of corrosive gases.
â—†Do not share an AC power supply with equipment that pollutes the power supply, such as frequency converters, welding machines, etc. If necessary, add a purified power supply to the converter.
â—†The integral insertion type should be inserted into the axis of the pipe to be measured. Therefore, the length of the measuring rod depends on the diameter of the pipe to be measured. Therefore, it must be specified in advance when ordering. If it is not possible to insert it into the axis of the pipe, the factory will provide a calibration factor to complete an accurate measurement.
â—†The pipe section type uses a flange connection, in line with the national standard GB / T9119-2000.
â—†When opening the housing, must first power off.
â—†When removing the sensor, pay attention to the pipeline pressure, temperature, or gas with no toxicity.
â—†The sensor is not sensitive to small amounts of dust. However, when used in dirtier environments, You should also clean them regularly. Otherwise, the measurement accuracy will be affected.
