Measurement of flow using a turbine type flow meter for various fluid type

Procedure

Basic Knowledge -

  • Answer all the questions and click on "Submit Test" button

Configuration:-

  • Configure your turbine flow meter by selecting fluid type, material type of blade, blade type , pipe size , time in sec and enter the meter constant. Below fig. shows the type of blade and number of blades

 *blades type and shape images*

  • Min and Max speed range will be displayed. Here, readings can be taken by changing speed of VFD that you have configured
  • Observe the reading
  • Plot the graph
  • After this click on next simulation step

Simulation:-

Standard Table and Graph:

  • Select any Random range and click on submit
  • Take atleast 5 Readings and click on Graph

Animation :

  • Click on Start process
  • Instantaneous flow observed by total pulses

Mimic :

  • First step is to reset the tare weight
  • Adjust the VFD speed clicking on plus and minus buttons. Select minimum and maximum speed of flow
  • click on the suction valve(V1), after clicking its color turns to green which indicated it is ON and liquid supply to pump
  • To start the pump, click on the pump it turns green and liquid flow through pump with selected speed for sec of time which is configured in earlier stage
  • Observe the reading of LT weight, Turbine flow meter, Magnetic flow meter and WT weight
  • After the process, pump will stop, then you must click on V2 valve it will turn green to drain the tank 2 and fill the tank 1
  • Follow the same process for at least for 10 times and note all readings including speed range in min and max flow
  • After completing all process, click on V3 drain valve to drain the tank 1
  • The simulation is finished, and you can click on next for Calibration

Calibration :

  • Observe the Minimum reading and calculate zero error and submit the answer
  • Observe Maximum reading and calculate span error and submit the answer
  • Similarly Observe all the intermediate points on the graph and calculate Lineraity and Accuracy
  • Click on Calibrate and calibrate points on graph (using plus and minus buttons)
  • Follow the Instructions and adjust the points on the graph to make it linear

Fault Finding:

  • Observe the shown table and select the fault accordingly
  • After selecting the correct fault Result will be displayed
