Precautions for wedge-shaped flowmeter

2025-03-03

Generally, wedge-shaped flow sensors are equipped with front and rear measuring tubes and can be installed and used horizontally or vertically.


1. Generally, wedge-shaped flow sensors are equipped with front and rear measuring tubes and can be installed and used horizontally or vertically. When the sensor is installed on a vertical pipe, the fluid should flow from bottom to top. When measuring liquids, care should be taken to ensure that the differential pressure transmitter can easily remove air bubbles to avoid causing zero drift of the instrument;

2. A straight pipe section should be configured on the upstream and downstream sides of the sensor, and the inner wall of the pipe should be smooth, clean, and free of attachments. Only the length of the pipe section is as shown in the table.

3. When installed horizontally, the wedge differential pressure element should be at 90 degrees to the center line of the pipe. For vertical installations, care must be taken to zero the differential pressure transmitter due to slight static pressure effects between the pressure tapping points.
