Advantages and application scenarios analysis of Elst ultrasonic flowmeter

1、 The basic principle of Elst ultrasonic flowmeter

Elster ultrasonic flowmeter utilizes the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in fluids to calculate fluid flow rate by measuring the time or frequency of ultrasonic wave propagation in the fluid. This flowmeter consists of sensors, calculators, and displays.

2、 Technical advantages of Elster ultrasonic flowmeter

1. High precision: The Elster ultrasonic flowmeter can achieve an accuracy of 0.5%, far higher than the accuracy of traditional mechanical flowmeters.

2. Good stability: Due to the fact that Elster ultrasonic flowmeter does not require contact with fluid, it is not affected by factors such as fluid corrosion and pollution, and has good stability.

3. Long service life: Elster ultrasonic flowmeter adopts non-contact measurement, and the sensor components do not need to come into contact with the fluid, so the service life is relatively long.

3、 Application scenarios of Elster ultrasonic flowmeter

1. Chemical industry: Elster ultrasonic flowmeter can monitor the flow of various liquids in chemical production, ensuring the stability and safety of chemical production.

2. Petroleum: In the petroleum industry, Elster ultrasonic flow meters are widely used for flow monitoring in oil and gas pipelines.

3. Food: In food production, Elster ultrasonic flow meters can monitor the flow of various liquids, pastes, etc., ensuring the quality and hygiene of food production.

Local application scenarios
Based on in-depth research on the Chinese domestic market, M.Sonic ® While significantly improving measurement accuracy, we also focus on reducing installation and operation costs, striving to achieve optimal performance at a low cost. Whether it's gas companies, gas stations, industrial parks, or even heating boilers, M.Sonic is available ® The figure of medium and low pressure ultrasonic gas flowmeter.

gas filling station
The flow meters at gas stations are mostly equipped by gas companies, usually with turbine meters. The turbine gauge will wear out after running for a period of time, and once worn out, the measurement will be inaccurate at low flow rates. Gas stations usually lack professional maintenance skills and personnel, so it is hoped to save maintenance and support costs and reduce economic losses caused by inaccurate metering. Taking a natural gas refueling station in Huxian County, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province as an example, the customer suspected inaccurate measurement during the use of a turbine meter at low flow rates and chose Honi M. Sonic instead ® Comparison between medium and low pressure ultrasonic gas flow meters and turbine meters, and comparison with Honeywell M. Sonic when the turbine meter maintenance lubrication reaches the ideal operating state ® Compared with flow meters, when operating at full load, the turbine and low-pressure ultrasonic can reach the same level. When used at night with low gas consumption, M.Sonic ® The flow rate of medium and low-pressure ultrasonic gas is approximately 2% higher than that of a turbine meter, reducing the economic loss of not using the meter for low flow.

Industrial and commercial users

Industrial and commercial users are one of the important end users of natural gas, and low flow without metering will bring direct economic losses to natural gas companies. During a technical communication between the Honeywell technical team and a natural gas company in Yulin City, the customer reported that the Roots meter did not measure when there was an open flame in the company's cafeteria water boiler. They wanted to verify the M.Sonic ® The performance. A natural gas company in Yulin City is using gas from the company cafeteria to treat Roots meters from Honeywell and Honeywell M.Sonic ® We conducted a comparative experiment using M.Sonic with a 50 pore size ® Compared with the 25 aperture Roots table, after nearly 3 months of operation, the data statistics show that the 50 aperture M.Sonic ® It is tied with the 25 aperture Roots watch, which also confirms the Honeywell M.Sonic ® The reliability of technology has earned the trust of customers.

Industrial park station

Thanks to its high market share and good customer feedback in the high-pressure field flow meter market, Honeywell's ultrasonic flow meters have also been widely recognized in medium and low-pressure field stations. Usually, natural gas companies use D100, D150, Honeywell M.Sonic for turbine aperture in metering stations in industrial parks ® Can be directly replaced. For example, in the northwest region, gas supply cannot be stopped during winter, and even if a turbine meter measurement problem is found, it cannot be disassembled or switched. Over time, this will result in certain economic losses for natural gas companies throughout the winter season. Subsequent stations will gradually replace the medium and low pressure ultrasonic flow meters.

Heating boiler

Heating boilers are commonly used equipment in northern regions to maintain building temperature and supply hot water to bathing centers. During communication with a large gas company in Xi'an, it was found that due to different gas consumption rates at different times, two or even multiple meters need to be used simultaneously for measurement. For example, if a gas boiler is used normally during the day and only needs to maintain a certain temperature at night, a turbine meter and a Roots meter need to be used during the day and at night for combined measurement. This not only requires the investment of two meters, but also brings additional management and after-sales costs. Using Honeywell M.Sonic ® It can replace the use of two tables, reducing total costs and maintenance expenses. Currently, DN100 is being used and data is being collected. In addition, bathing centers in northern regions also face the problem of different gas consumption during the day and night, requiring the combination of two meters for measurement, which greatly increases the cost of enterprises. Using appropriate meters can truly reflect the management level of enterprises.

Honeywell M.Sonic ® Medium and low-pressure ultrasonic gas flow meters can replace various traditional mechanical flow meters and greatly improve the accuracy and reliability of natural gas measurement with professional technology. This product has a wide flow measurement range and high overall accuracy, and can be widely and flexibly applied to various urban gas sites.
