Conversion indicator
The converter is actually a scale that converts the height of the float inside the cone tube into the corresponding volumetric flow rate.
From the output signal, there are two types: local display type and remote signal output type:
Local display type: It is coupled with the magnetic steel inside the float by the following magnetic steel in the local indicator, and rotates. At the same time, the electric pointer indicates the current flow rate through the dial
The flow coefficient of the alpha instrument in the formula varies depending on the shape of the float;
When the measured fluid is a gas, the gas expansion coefficient is usually ignored due to the small correction amount of this coefficient, and it has been included in the flow coefficient through verification. If it is a liquid, ε=1
△ F circulation annular area, m2 ;
G local gravity acceleration, m/s2;
The volume of the Vf float, including any extended bodies, should also be included, m3;
ρ f float material density, kg/m3;
The density of the fluid being measured, such as the density of gas on the upstream cross-section of the float, kg/m3;
The cross-section at the working diameter (* large diameter) of the Ff float, m2;
Gf float weight, kg。
The relationship between the circulating annular area and the float height is shown in equation (3). When the structural design is determined, d and β are constants.
There is a quadratic term for h in the equation, and this nonlinear relationship cannot be ignored. It can only be considered approximately linear when the cone angle is very small.
In the formula, d represents the float multiplied by the large diameter (i.e. the working diameter), m;
The height of the float rising from the inner diameter of the cone tube is equal to the height of the float rising from the larger diameter, m;
Cone angle of β - cone tube;
a. B is a constant
According to formulas (1), (2), and (3), under certain conditions, there is a certain proportional relationship between the height of the float inside the cone tube and the volumetric flow rate. By reading the height of the float, the corresponding volumetric flow rate can be determined. Then, through a converter, the height of the float can be converted into the scale corresponding to the volumetric flow rate. This is the detection principle of the metal tube float flowmeter.

Intelligent remote transmission type, coupled with the moving magnetic steel in the intelligent indicator and the magnetic steel inside the float, rotates and drives the sensing magnetic steel and pointer. Through a magnetic sensor, the magnetic field changes are converted into electrical signals, which are then A/D converted, digital filtered, processed by a microprocessor, D/A output, and LCD liquid crystal display to display the instantaneous flow rate and cumulative flow rate. (As shown in the following figure)
Calculation of Diameter, Float Number, and Scale of Metal Tube Float Flow Meter
1. Calculation method
(1) Based on the data provided by the user, select the appropriate formula to calculate the flow rate Qs of the corresponding calibration medium:

Among them: Qs - flow rate of calibration medium (water or air) under standard conditions (20 ℃, 0.1013Mpa)
Q-user medium flow K-correction factor
(2) Based on the calculated Qs value, check the flow meter to determine the selected float number and the diameter of the measuring tube (the values in the flow meter are the flow values of water or air under standard conditions)
(3) After determining the diameter of the measuring tube and the float number, it is recommended to use the following formula to determine the upper limit value Q of the flow scale of the measured medium:

Among them, Qi selects the maximum value of the water or air flow corresponding to a certain float number in the flow meter.
(4) Due to the lack of consideration for viscosity correction in the calculation, there may be discrepancies with the results calculated by the factory.
2. Determination of correction coefficient K
(1) For liquid media
a、 If Q is the volumetric flow rate of liquid, calculate K using the following equation:

b、 If Q is the liquid mass flow rate, calculate K using the following formula:
Among them: ρ f: selected float density (g/cm3)
The density of the stainless steel float is 7.8
The density of polytetrafluoroethylene float (PTFE) is 3.4
The density of nickel based alloy (Hastelloy) is 8.3
ρ: Density of the tested medium
(2) For gas media
a、 If Q is the volumetric flow rate of gas at standard conditions (20 ℃, 0.1013Mpa), then calculate K using the following equation:

b、 If Q is the volumetric flow rate of gas in the operating state, then calculate K using the following equation:
c、 If Q is the mass flow rate of gas, then calculate K using the following equation:
In the above categories:
ρ: Density of the tested medium: Density of the tested gas medium at 20 ℃ and 0.1013MPa (kg/m3)
P: Excellent pressure of the tested gas medium (MPa)
T: Excellent temperature of the tested gas medium (K)
ρ 0: Density of air at 20 ℃ and 0.1013MPa (1.205kg/m3)
P 0: Excellent pressure of calibration medium (0.1013MPa)
T 0: Excellent temperature of calibration medium (293.15K)
d、 Auxiliary density conversion formula
Among them: ρ st: Density of the tested gas medium under standard conditions (Kg/m3)
Tt: Excellent temperature of the tested gas medium under operating conditions (K)
T0: Excellent temperature of the tested gas medium under operating conditions (K)
1. High temperature structure (G-type)
High temperature structure type (G-type) is used for flow measurement of media with high or low temperatures that require insulation measures for the measuring tube. The high-temperature structure increases the distance between the measuring tube and the indicator to enhance heat dissipation and increase the thickness of the insulation material, ensuring that the indicator operates within the allowable ambient temperature range. Select the "G" type.
