■The circuit uses the surface mount technology, with compact structure, strong anti-interference ability and high reliability.

■Pressure sensor, temperature sensor and flow sensor are all built in, making the structure more compact.

■Use advanced micro-power high-tech, the whole machine has low power consumption, that is, it can run with built-in battery for long time, and can be operated by external power supply.

■According to the flow frequency signal, the meter factor can be automatically corrected linearly in five segments, to improve the accuracy of the meter.

■With fault self-diagnosis and alarm function, high reliability, LCD display, clear and intuitive, easy to read.

■The flowmeter has a pulse signal output, and can also output 4~20mA standard analog signal according to user needs.

■The meter has its own real-time database, and through RS-485 communication interface and MODEM, it can form a telephone meter reading network, which is convenient for data collection and real-time management.

■Advanced micro-power consumption technology, low power consumption of the whole machine, using the built-in battery can run for more than five years.

■Display the flow value in place, and with a variety of signal output functions to meet the needs of different sites and systems.

■Use EEPROM data storage chip, save user parameters, manufacturer parameters and certain historical records.

■ Use high-contrast three-line LCD display for displaying date, standard cumulative flow, standard instantaneous flow, medium temperature, pressure, and battery voltage.

■ With real-time data storage function, it can avoid data loss when battery is replaced or suddenly power down. In the power-off state, internal parameters can be permanently saved.

Flowmeter appearance and installation

The flowmeter installation dimensions are shown in Fig.1 and Table 2. The flange is in accordance with GB/T9119-2000.

Table 2  Flowmeter appearance and install dimensions

■ Before selecting the flowmeter, the appropriate model and specifications shall be selected according to the pressure, flow, temperature and process requirements of the metered gas. (see “Flow Conversion”for the calculation method, ).

■ Before installing the flowmeter, the inlet and outlet packages shall be removed. It is necessary to prevent the particulate impurities from entering the measuring chamber. For example, the surface of the measuring chamber is coated with anti-rust oil, which can be cleaned with gasoline or kerosene, and the impurities in the pipe are strictly removed. A filter shall be installed upstream of the flowmeter to prevent rust, welding slag and other impurities from entering the metering chamber.

■When the flowmeter is installed, the rotor axis shall be kept as level as possible regardless of whether the inlet and outlet are vertical or horizontal.

■ When the gas pressure fluctuation range is large, in order to ensure the measurement accuracy, a regulator shall be installed upstream of the flowmeter.

■ In order to prevent rust, welding slag and other impurities in the newly installed pipe from entering the flowmeter, users shall first install the transition pipe on the installation position of the flowmeter.After venting for a period of time, make sure that there are no large particles of impurities, then install the flowmeter. When installing the flowmeter, make sure that the flowmeter center is aligned with the pipe center, no misalignment, and the flowmeter is not affected by external forces (including axial and tangential directions ).

■ When installing the flowmeter vertically.  It is recommended that the flow direction of the gas is entering at top and leaving at bottom. In special cases, it can perform entering at bottom and leaving at top,entering at left and leaving at right.However, special descriptions are required when ordering. The standard product of the flowmeter is entering at top and leaving at bottom. The front and rear valves and bypass pipes should be installed when installing the flowmeter to ensure that there is no need to stop the air during maintenance.Fig.2, Fig.3, and Fig.4 show the typical system diagrams for entering at top and leaving at bottom,entering at bottom and leaving at top,entering at left and leaving at right.entering at left and leaving at right.Tpical system diagrams for three flowmeter pipe installation  for reference.

■ After the flowmeter is installed, inject the lubricating oil (GB486~65 high-speed oil H5) from the oil filling port to the oil window center line (note that you cannot add more).

■ Perform regular or irregular inspection during use to ensure sufficient and clean lubricant.If the lubricant is black or the oil level is higher than the center line of the oil window,  it indicates the lubricant is deteriorated or has impurities.In this case, replace the lubricant. If the oil level is 3mm below the center line of the oil window, it indicates the loss of lubricating oil and needs to be added to the center line of the oil window. When filling the lubricating oil, it must close the front and rear valves of the flowmeter, and after the gas is drained, then the lubricating oil is added.

■When the flowmeter is in operation, all valves shall be opened and closed slowly to prevent the strong impact of the airflow and damage the flowmeter.

■After the flowmeter is in operation for a period of time, if the pressure drop of the filter is increased, the filter shall be cleaned or the filter medium shall be replaced. If the pressure drop of the flowmeter is increased, and the starting flow rate is increased, and it can flush the metering chamber with clean gasoline or kerosene.

■ When the flowmeter is deactivated for a long time, it should empty the lubricating oil , and the metering chamber shall be flushed with gasoline, then the inlet and outlet shall be sealed and placed in a dry place.

■ When the flowmeter is used to measure city gas (natural gas, artificial gas, etc.), its impurity content shall meet the content standard of China's “Urban Gas Design Code”(GB50028-93).
