The Configuration of Petrol Flowmeters

Petrol PD Flowmeters are standard volumetric instruments which immediately measure the volume of flowing liquid using the oscillating piston mechanism, which enables exact volume measurement as opposed to inferred volumetric measurement. These devices, manufactured in India for several decades, allow an accurate measurement of the flow rates of nearly all the liquids industrially employed. They may be utilised for custody transfer plans, operating devices, and the petroleum industry's many other needs.

The petrol flow meter is a device used to measure volumetric fuel consumption, petrol volume moving through the line per unit of time. Its measurements are presented in meter readings ( like in the water or electricity meters).

Benefits:

• Usually unaffected by flow profiles, just tiny inlet and outlet parts required.
• Also useful in acute conditions, e.g. high viscosity, caused by a change in variants.
• Calculations are feasible for unusual circumstances.
• Fit for severe temperatures and pressures

Application:

Fuel flowmeters in India are designed to gauge fuel consumption in the fuel line of several vehicles and stationary devices.

Vehicles: Used on the railroad, in air, or water.

• Additional vehicle devices. For example, a compressor unit or other attachments positioned on a vehicle chassis.
• Stationary installations. Petro flowmeters can be placed inside the tanks used at corporate petrol stations.
• Fuel fluctuations do not influence flowmeter readings in a tank. Therefore, one can unlock complete device potential while operating under regular fuel fluctuations when operating on uneven terrain. So, a fuel flowmeter in India can be used on agricultural tools (lie tractors, etc.), off-road vehicles like Jeeps.

Features

• Wide operating flow range of 3 to 24, 000 LPH
• Guaranteed accuracy of ±0.5% of reading
• Low pressure drop allows gravity head operation
• Maximum operating temperature – 150 °C
• Does not require external power source due to self-powered electronics
• Choice of weatherproof and flameproof enclosures
• Built-in high capacity reusable wire mesh filter
• S.S., Aluminum and Plastic builds to suit corrosive liquids

The Configuration of Acid-resistant Flowmeters

Flow meters to measure the flow of strong hot corrosive acids like sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid have always been a challenge. The combination of acid-resistant tantalum surfaces with high-performance flow meters solves this problem and creates the most corrosion-resistant flow meters available to the industry.

By stopping the corrosion of critical surfaces in differential flow meters, sensitive measurements can be obtained and made reliable.

The acid-resistant flowmeters provided by Fluidyne are explicitly built for monitoring acid flow, as regular meters couldn't survive like sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. They are the most corrosion-resistant meters available in the industry.

Benefits:

• Unobstructed flow without moving parts
• No added pressure drop
• Typically flow profile insensitive, just short inlet and outlet parts needed
• Unchanged by shifts in temperature, viscosity, density, concentration, as well as electrical conductivity
• A convenient choice for chemically corrosive or abrasive measuring liquids
• Unaffected by contamination and coatings and low maintenance
• A linear correlation between flow rate and measured variable

Application:

Acid flowmeters are advised for application along with acids or chemically aggressive liquids. Titanium dioxide is a compound used in the making of paints, certain plastics, cosmetics, etc., and is treated either with chlorine or sulfates.

Hydrofluoric acid is an aggressive chemical used in creating Teflon. Acid flowmeters used along with this highly corrosive liquid must be lined with specialty plastics like in our flowmeters. Fluidyne supplies acid-resistant flow meters to regulate the flow of strong corrosive acids like sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid while also measuring weak organic acids like acetic acid, formic acid, etc.

Features

The Fluidyne acid flowmeters are based on the time-tested oscillating piston mechanism. A single moving component in the assembly ensures extremely reliable operation for long periods. Use of state of the art solid state magnetic sensor, ultra-low powered electronic sensors, provides for all the simplicity of a mechanical P.D. meter and the reliability of electronic sensing and read outs. The acid flowmeter comes with inbuilt 149 micron SS mesh reusable filter element

• Wide operating flow range of 3 to 24, 000 LPH
• Maximum operating temperature – 150 °C
• Guaranteed accuracy of ±0.5% of reading
• Low-pressure drop allows gravity head operation
• Does not require external power source due to self-powered electronics
• Built-in high-capacity reusable wire mesh filter
• Choice of certified weatherproof and flameproof enclosures
• S.S. Hastelloy and durable plastic moving parts option builds to suit corrosive liquid

Oscillating Piston Flow Meter

Suppose you are working on an application where you need to measure the flow of a liquid that has a high viscosity. In that case, an oscillating piston flowmeter is what you should consider installing.

The oscillating piston flowmeters are a sort of positive displacement flowmeter and often referred to as volumetric counters. They are flowmeters especially suited for measuring high viscosity liquids. However, they are also most suited for liquids with a low viscosity.

The Configuration of Oscillating Piston Flow meter

The flow meter is one of the oldest types of positive displacement flow meters. This oscillating piston meter is mainly similar to a nutating disc meter. Except that its measurement device is one split ring/ piston that only oscillates within a single plane and this makes it more easy to maintain and durable than any other PD meter.

Oscillating piston flow meters utilize a precision-machined chamber that contains a cylindrical piston. Liquid enters the precision-machined chamber containing an oscillating (rotating) piston. The piston is positioned to divide the chamber into compartments that hold a pre-measured exact volume. Liquid pressure propels the piston to start oscillating and rotate on its axis. The meter's operation itself is based on the movement of this rotating piston. It fills and empties a chamber of a known volume with each turn, i.e. this piston oscillates as the liquid flows.

It also has a central shaft that is constrained to run in a circular groove inside the chamber. The movement has a concentric motion about the centre chamber axis. This results in an off-centre rotating motion because the liquid sequentially enters and exits compartments shaped into the underside of this piston. Since the capacity of the compartments is already known, the volume of liquid metered per revolution is easy to calculate accurately.

The precision-machined chamber has a slotted cylinder that separates the inlet and outlet part. Center piston rotate as the liquid subsequently enters and exit from the chamber. Usually, a hydraulically floating piston does not come into contact with the chamber.

The rotation of this piston activates a reed sensor. It then emits a pulse that corresponds with the volume of this chamber. The output signal from this sensor can be used through an electronic converter.

Fluidyne's oscillating piston flowmeter series is manufactured using different materials and has varying process connections. These connections include materials and fittings for hygienic applications. We also offer unique designs for high-pressure applications.

When there is no flow inside the pipe, the piston stays stationary. When the liquid begins flowing, the piston displaces liquid from the inlet to the outlet with a constant cyclic volume per position.

The movements inside the piston's central hub are sensed through the flow meter's wall by a follower magnet. Every revolution of the piston hub is equal to a fixed volume of the fluid. This is indicated as flow by an indicator or totalizer.

Close margins between the piston and the chamber guarantee minimum liquid slippage for highly reliable and repeatable flow measurement for every volume cycle.

Benefits:

• The installation can occur in both horizontal and vertical positions. It can even be set at an inclination. It offers bidirectional flow measurement and is ideal for all flow directions without it affecting the flowmeter accuracy.
• Straight pipe lengths before and after the flowmeter is not necessary at all. The meter can be installed before or after adjusting elements of the flow.
• Complete Stainless Steel 304 grade construction to ensure reliability in harsh operating conditions
• The oscillating piston flowmeter is not particularly sensitive to differences in viscosity. So it is suitable for applications where the temperature might not always be constant.
• Oscillating piston flowmeter is also not sensitive to changes in pipe flow rates. A turndown of 20:1 is also taken by the meter very well and accuracy does not suffer
• Under standard working conditions, it exhibits a long working life. It will not be necessary to regularly replace any part, but if needed, the replacement operation is easy, and it can be done within a few minutes.
• But what conditions are considered to be "normal working conditions"?
• At Fluidyne, we believe that the duration of the components depends essentially on the combination of these two factors:
• The abrasive qualities of the application product (this must be compatible with the manufacturing material of the flow meter).
• The operating flow rate. In case the maximum flow of the instrument is surpassed, the rotating piston might end up damaged.

Application:

• The oscillating piston meter accommodates several viscous fluids (paint, resin, ink). The meter can be utilized for oil metering where the turn down is not critical. It can be used inside an automatic liquid batching system.
• The best use of oscillating piston flowmeter is in clean liquids like white oils. Petrol, Diesel and kerosene offer excellent lubricating characteristics which is perfect for oscillating piston flowmeter
• They are highly suitable for food and beverage applications like honey or chocolate.
• The meters are applicable during all types of industrial processes. Oscillating piston flowmeters are widely utilized in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
• They are used for tank filling and batching applications, measurement of steam condensates in boilers, and fuel consumption measurement, among many others.
• The oscillating piston flowmeters by Fluidyne are perfect for any type of liquid application. They display excellent performance in changing process conditions. With an accuracy of 0.2% of the measured value, the meters offer high feasibility of total cleaning and allow for easy sterilization. The best advantage of oscillating piston flowmeter is that the volume is directly measured and not inferred as in the case of inferential flow principles. Thus, it is the most accurate flow measurement principle in the world

Features

• Fluidyne offers a balanced, lightweight, and rugged construction. The flanged connectors make it the best option for overhead hose reels and other liquid applications.
• Unbeatable repeatability of better than 0.1% of reading
• High accuracy of 0.2% of reading
• It can be installed anywhere without straight length constraints
• Ideal for numerous applications.
