The orifice flowmeter is a widely used device for measuring fluid flow in industrial applications. Among the five key parameters in its calculation, the discharge coefficient plays a vital role. It represents the ratio of actual flow to theoretical flow. Since the early 1990s, extensive laboratory experiments have been conducted in Western countries, leading to the accumulation of vast experimental data and the establishment of international standards. As a result, the orifice plate stands out among all flowmeters as it only requires precise geometric dimensions to ensure accurate measurements without the need for real-flow calibration. This makes it highly reliable and cost-effective. Additionally, since the orifice plate is primarily a mechanical component in contact with the fluid, it can withstand high temperatures and pressures, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The development of advanced interchangeable orifice plates has further expanded its usability across different industries.
Another crucial parameter in orifice flowmeter calculations is the beta (β) ratio, which is the ratio of the orifice diameter to the pipe inner diameter. Once the orifice plate is manufactured, this ratio is fixed. However, because the pipe and the orifice are typically made from different materials, thermal expansion coefficients may differ, causing β to change with temperature and pressure variations. To calculate the orifice plate accurately, engineers often use the operating temperature and pressure provided by the process to determine the β value at atmospheric conditions (20°C). Although the relationship between β and the flow range is not extremely significant, any inaccuracies in temperature or pressure readings can directly affect the calculation’s precision. Therefore, it's recommended to select a β value between 0.5 and 0.6, provided that pressure loss constraints are satisfied.
The third important parameter is the expansion coefficient, which varies with differential pressure and, consequently, with the flow rate. Using a constant expansion factor over the entire flow range can lead to significant errors. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 5167 provides the formula for calculating this coefficient, ensuring more accurate results under varying conditions.
The fourth key parameter is the differential pressure value. The accuracy and range ratio of the differential pressure transmitter greatly influence the performance of the orifice flowmeter. In recent years, manufacturers have continuously improved the accuracy and rangeability of these devices. For example, the Rosemount 3051CD2-5 differential pressure transmitter offers an accuracy of 0.065% over a 10:1 range, significantly enhancing measurement reliability.
The fifth and final important parameter is the density (Ï), which is critical for gas or steam flow measurements. With advancements in computer technology, density compensation has become much easier. The ideal gas equation or equations for vapor and liquid density changes with temperature and pressure can be easily implemented in software. While density is essential, proper compensation methods can minimize its impact on the turndown ratio. However, not all temperature and pressure fluctuations can be fully compensated through density adjustments. Other factors such as installation location, concentricity, straight pipe sections, resistance elements, transmitter temperature drift, and zero drift also play a major role in flow measurement accuracy and turndown ratio. These aspects must be carefully considered during system design and installation to ensure optimal performance.
CBN abrasive is mainly used for steel parts, such as high speed steel, die steel, 45 steel, etc., can be made into electroplating CBN, resin CBN, sintered CBN. Can be made into grinding wheel, cutting pieces, grinding head. Abrasive sharp, high temperature resistance, good thermal stability, wear resistance. The hardness of CBN is higher than that of ordinary abrasives and the ability to maintain shape is one of the main characteristics of high performance abrasives. CBN is very resistant to pressure. CBN has good thermal conductivity and can achieve cold cutting during grinding.
strong wear resistance, long life
The grinding ratio of CBN wheel can reach 3500-5500, which is 100 times higher than that of ordinary corundum wheel and 3-5 times higher than that of diamond wheel.
environmental protection, no pollution, energy saving and consumption reduction
No too much powder dust.
High work efficiency and good comprehensive economic benefits
The grinding is sharp, the grinding force is small, the dressing cycle of CBN wheel is long, the dressing amount is less, and the replacement time is long. Long service cycle, high grinding ratio, can obtain better economy, good shape retention in use, do not need to change and trim grinding wheel often, save working hours, improve working conditions, is conducive to machining operation.
Cubic boron nitride is not suitable for grinding hard metals and non-metallic materials. At high grinding temperature, CBN will react with alkaline aqueous solution. CBN grinding wheel will decompose in alkaline solution at 300℃, and can decompose in trace amount in boiling water, which will destroy the crystal shape of grinding grains. Therefore, oily coolant should be used instead of water-based coolant during grinding.
