Products overview:
ZW - LGW seriesS bend flow meterWith traditional orifice flowmeter as belongs to the category of differential pressure flowmeter, just a way of elbow flowmeter to produce differential pressure and orifice flow meter, orifice is using scaling principle of differential pressure of fluid, and bend sensor is the use of fluid inertia principle of differential pressure.
Both inherited the differential pressure type flowmeter the advantages of simple structure, stable performance, precise measurement, and overcome the differential pressure type flowmeter pressure loss, easy to jam, shortcomings and so on maintenance difficulties.Elbow flowmeter with its outstanding energy-saving effect, high stability, high accuracy, high adaptability, in the heat of the steam, thermal power, metallurgy, petrochemical industry, coal gas, natural gas, hot and cold water, oil, air, acetylene, the media such as h2s, co2 two-phase flow measurement of rapid promotion.
Second, the working principle:
ZW series of LGW s-shaped bend flow meter is when a fluid at a certain temperature under the condition of a certain pressure flow through a pipe, when it flows through a turn, the fluid will make a corresponding circumferential rotary motion.According to the theory of fluid forced vortex, fluid in a circular motion in pipe and solid state operating in the space circular motion, so fluid will inevitably produce inertial centrifugal force, the size of the centrifugal force and flow velocity of fluid, fluid density and a circle of radius of curvature radius of curvature (i.e., bend sensor) and other factors.
Due to bend radius of curvature sensor is known, and through the fluid density and bend sensor can be based on the determination of the parameters such as temperature, pressure of the fluid by host computer accurately, so the size of the centrifugal force generated in a bend on the sensor is just a function of fluid velocity.As long as measure the size of the centrifugal force, it can measure the fluid flow in the pipe, the flow rate multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the pipe and the density of fluid, fluid flow rate can be calculated and determined.The calculation is as follows:
Type (1) through the pipe bending is given the average flow velocity of fluid and the differential value of function:
V = a (P1, P2)/rho beta -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- (1)
Among them: V - average flow velocity of fluid;
A - the integrated flow coefficient, a = f (bend bend diameter ratio, Reynolds number and power of medium viscosity, pipe roughness, etc.), especially to the influence of the bending diameter ratio zui is important: 
P1 and P2 - curved pipe, the lateral pressure difference;
The density of rho - fluid;
Beta - index;
Calculate the average flow velocity V, can function expression for computing the flow:
Q = S * V * rho -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - (2)
Type: 
S - bend cross-sectional area;
V - average flow velocity of the fluid.
Three, the structure form:
ZW series of LGW s-shaped bend flow meter a sensing element - bend sensor according to the difference of the installed pipeline is divided into the following three:
1, 90 ° bend sensor used for process pipeline in 90 ° Angle joint, to replace the original bend;
2, 180 ° bend sensor used for straight line, straight pipe replacement parts;
3, 135 ° bend sensor used for process pipeline in 135 ° Angle joint, instead of the elbow.
Two small pieces of different bend sensor welding straight call take pressure, bend arc length larger bearing a positive pressure measuring 90 ° and 135 ° bend sensor based on plane which is formed by the installation process pipeline turn subdivided into the following three types:
1, the positive pressure measurement in vertical bend sensor installation - turn on the formation of the plane for the vertical plane and turning elbow arc grew up a party in the above;
2, negative pressure measurement in vertical bend sensor installation - turn on the formation of the plane for the vertical plane and turning elbow arc grew up a party in the following;
3, horizontal bend sensor - turn the formation of plane for level 180 ° bend sensor only horizontal form, other installations meaningless. 
Four, structure characteristics and adaptability:
System structure:

6, long service life.
Seven, the technical parameters:
Suitable for special pipes (may be have a wider scope of application)
1, medium: all single-phase fluid, or can be considered a single-phase fluid media such as gas, liquid and steam can be applied elbow flowmeter for flow measurement.
2, pipe diameter, from 25 to 2000 mm (or rectangular pipe).
3, flow velocity, 0.3 ~ 8 m/s (liquid medium), 7 ~ 80 m/s (gas and steam).
4, temperature: 0 ~ 600 ℃.
5, pressure: 0 ~ 10 mpa.
6, the accuracy of measurement: bend sensor repeat conversion accuracy + 0.2% or less, secondary instrument accuracy + 0.2%, bent pipe supporting the use of differential pressure, temperature, pressure transmitter should reach the accuracy grade of + 0.5% more or less accuracy requirement.System measuring accuracy of 0.5 ~ 1.5 on the Richter scale are unlikely.
Eight, the basic composition and function of different parts:
: 1, the bend sensor output rectifier and differential pressure signal, the accuracy of its geometry size is the guarantee of accuracy of measurement.
2, a valve: liquid and gas measurement generally choose straight needle type or Angle valves, steam with high temperature type needle valve or valve welding.
3, drain valve: liquid and gas measurement generally choose two type needle valve, steam with high temperature type needle valve or valve welding.
4, guide pressure pipe: differential pressure transmitter and bend the clamp connection with;Using 14 x2 x3 or 16 of seamless steel tube, the length of parallax pressure transducer and the pipe installation distance surface, usually by the user should bring along their own.
5, disc condenser, steam measurement necessary accessories;Connect to bend sensor, liquid level balance is negative pressure side.
Six, three groups: connected to the differential pressure transmitter, degree to the zero point.
7, differential pressure transmitter: bend sensor measurement inside and outside differential pressure, converted to standard 4 ~ 20 ma current signal.
8, pressure transmitter, superheated steam and other gas measurement, the pressure fluctuation is bigger as necessary;Saturated vapor pressure transmitter can be selected and applied to measure the medium pressure, real-time compensation of flow.
9, temperature components: when the temperature of the measured medium is volatile for spare parts, when used in heating metering, need to choose two component temperature, medium temperature, real-time compensation of flow and to participate in the calculation of heat heating water.
10, secondary instrument (or flow converter) : through signal lines connected with the transmitter, the signal lines: the diameter of 1.0 m ㎡ double Yi shielded cable, its length depending on the transducer and secondary instrument distance, generally by the user should bring along their own.Computing (display) parameters such as flow rate, heat, temperature, pressure, RS232 and RS485 serial interface, can match a computer system, 4-20 ma analog output have or 1-5 v, for the user to choose from.
Nine, installation requirements:
Welding method is used to install the measuring pipe of ninety degrees of corner, install state in principle can be arbitrary, the space that is in the bend sensors as orientation or direction of no strict requirements, generally has the following four install state to choose from:
1, turn level;
2, positive pressure measurement on the vertical installation;
3, positive pressure measurement in vertical installation;
4, any space.
Above four state in principle can be used in pipe installation, but for some of the measured medium, choose the appropriate installation condition, can greatly simplify the installation, debugging, and is of great benefit to improve the system measurement accuracy.So how to choose correct bend sensor installation status is very important.
Ten, use notice:
1, in the high water content of gas measurement, avoid water and pressure into the guide system, cause system can't measure.
In compressed air and fuel gas, many gas such as cracking gas contains a lot of water in the fluid, it is basic in saturated state, some formation water layer at the bottom of the pipe, the conventional installation, water will flow into the inside bend sensor take pressure, pressure into the guide system, the outside also can have a small amount of water into, is in the suction catheter into the water, bring to differential pressure measurement uncertain additional error, should make bend sensor apply pressure on both sides of the body are upward sloping, and boot up pressure tube, connecting the differential pressure transmitter, which avoids the water in the pipe into the guide system, and can make the pressure system in the condensation water flow back to the smoothly, will not affect the measurement.
If consider differential pressure transmitter maintenance is convenient wait for a reason, for differential pressure transmitter has to be put at the bottom of the pipe, can be used with body and guide pressure pipe up first, and then down to avoid a lot of water into the guide pressure system, and the pressure system of zui low tank equipped with set, make guide pressure system of condensation water flow into the liquid tank, drainage regularly, can guarantee the normal measurement.
2, steam flow measurement, pressure system is used to guide pressure with water medium, room temperature water density of 998 kg/m3 (20 ℃), 1 mm water column pressure of about 9.8 Pa, if using traditional condensing tank liquid level as a balancer, the mutation of temperature and pressure in the pipe can break condensing tank balance, cause the liquid level fluctuation, the orifice meter (produced by the pressure difference of about 10 to 100 kpa) effect is very small, but for the bend in small flow measurement may produce bigger effect.
Disc condenser chosen as the liquid level balancer, just make sure when installation disk, vapor and liquid interface at the same level before and after the move, liquid level height is always in the same horizontal plane, played a good level, balancing the instrument after putting-in-service proactively, steam stop delivery, to zero migration of differential pressure transmitter, level can solve the imbalance caused by zero error.
3, there is a small flow problem any flowmeter.Bend while relative other flowmeter performance is good, but still there is a lower limit index (velocity of 5 m/s or higher), so, when choosing diameter bend sensor must ensure zui low velocity is greater than 5 m/s, even though the actual flow rate on the high side, elbow flowmeter in up to 120 m/s the velocity case, still ensure measurement accuracy (adjust range differential pressure transmitter) can be realized.
