  • Page 22: How Is Piping Setting Made When Piping Specifications Are Unknown

    7.1 How is piping setting made when piping specifications are unknown ? Flow rate can be measured within the range of the specifications of PORTAFLOW X by entering the standard value, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. * Outer diameter can be confirmed by measuring the outside circumference.

  • Page 23: Is It Possible To Measure The Flow In Piping That Is Not Full

    7. Q & A 7.5 Is it possible to measure the flow in piping that is not full? In horizontal piping, if the pipe is filled with liquid up to 2/3 of inside diameter D as shown below, the flow velocity can be measured. In this case, the flow rate indicated is the assumed one under filled pipe conditions.

  • Page 24: What About Mounting The Sensor On Horizontal Piping

    7. Q & A 7.7 What about mounting the sensor on horizontal piping ? The sensor should be mounted in the horizontal direction on the piping circumference to prevent the effects of accumulated sludge (lower) and air bubbles (upper). Upper Sensor Sensor Lower...

  • Page 25: What Is The Approximate Accuracy Of Measurement

    7.12 What about error factors ? On PORTAFLOW X, ultrasonic waves are emitted from the outside of the piping and the time is measured while the waves are passing through the piping material - fluid - piping material.
  • Page 26 7. Q & A (2) Difference in sensor mounting length As a general standard, when the error in mounting length is ±1mm, the error of flow is within Flow error +1mm –1mm –1 mm φ 400 500 Inside diameter (3) Flow in piping is deviated When the straight piping is short (particularly upstream side), the flow has become skewed and some deviation error will occur, or fluctuation of indicated value will occur when the flow is swirling.

  • Page 27: What About Comparison With Other Flowmeters

    In case of 5000m can be considered at any range. The error of PORTAFLOW X should also be added when evaluating the total error. When the error range is the same for both the result of the check is considered normal.

  • Page 28: What Is The Difference Between A Doppler Type Flowmeter And Portaflow X

    PORTAFLOW X is designed to measure the velocity with ultrasonic waves passing through piping. As it measures an average velocity in the piping, it measures flow rate highly accurately.
