1. Static pressure and differential pressure of orifice flowmeter

The static pressure and differential pressure of orifice flowmeter are the core parameters for measuring flow rate. Understanding them, one can master the working principle of this flowmeter. 1. Definition and Action: Static pressure is the inherent pressure of a fluid flowing in a pipeline, which is not affected by flow velocity and reflects the potential energy of the fluid. In a horizontal pipeline, it can be imagined as the pressure exerted on the pipe wall when the fluid is at rest. Its main function is to monitor the pressure status inside the pipeline, which is an important indicator to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline system. Differential pressure refers to the pressure difference generated before and after the fluid flows through the orifice plate throttling element. Due to the obstruction of the orifice plate, the fluid velocity increases at the orifice plate, and according to Bernoullis principle, its pressure will decrease, thus forming a pressure difference. This differential pressure value is the direct basis for calculating fluid flow rate, as the flow rate is directly proportional to the square root of the differential pressure. The method of measuring static pressure usually involves opening a pressure tap on the pipeline wall and connecting a pressure sensor or gauge. The selection of this pressure point is crucial and must be located on a straight pipe section where fluid flow is stable, avoiding eddies and severe disturbances, to ensure the accuracy of data reading. To measure differential pressure, two pressure measuring points are required, located at the front and rear ends of the orifice plate, and the pressure d

2. Where is the orifice flowmeter without differential pressure? When there is no differential pressure in the orifice flowmeter, the following measures can be taken: check the stability of the medium flow: ensure the stability of the medium flow: eliminate pressure fluctuations caused by medium fluctuations, bubbles, and other factors. Optimize pipeline design: Ensure that the pipeline design before and after the flowmeter is reasonable, without severe vibration and turbulence. If there is unstable flow, the pipeline layout can be adjusted to increase stable flow measures. Check the orifice flowmeter body: Check the status of the orifice plate: Ensure that the orifice plate is not damaged, deformed, or covered with dirt. Cleaning or replacement of orifice plate: Clean the orifice plate. If the orifice plate is deformed or damaged, a new orifice plate component
