Problems solved by technology

In the U-shaped pipe structure, even if the above requirements can be met in some pipes, the fully developed turbulent flow distribution cannot be guaranteed in most pipe sections due to the front and rear elbow parts of the fluid, such as Figure 4 As shown, it is impossible to achieve a symmetrical turbulent flow distribution over the very long distances in which the fluid flows into and out of the U-tube structure
To sum up, the method of calculating the fctr coefficient to obtain the flow rate by assuming the characteristic value of the flow velocity distribution obtained by assuming the ideal turbulent flow distribution is not suitable for the limitation of the actual pipe bending. On the other hand, in most actual measurement processes, it is necessary to obtain accurate Fluid density and viscosity information to obtain an accurate Reynolds number is also impractical

Abstract

The invention relates to an ultrasonic flow measurement device and method for fuel terminal settlement. The device comprises two or more independent time-of-flight ultrasonic flow measurement units, a control circuit for controlling each independent ultrasonic flow measurement unit and an upper processor for receiving the measurement result of each ultrasonic flow measurement unit and further analyzing the result to calculate and output the flow, wherein the two or more independent time-of-flight ultrasonic flow measurement units are connected in series, the final flow result is calculated bymeans of dynamic weighted average, the influence of time difference measurement on random error is lowered, and the precision and the repetitiveness of small-volume measurement and calibration are improved; the diameter of each measurement pipe section is appropriately shrunk to be smaller than the caliber of a system pipeline, thus the passage flow rate and Reynolds number of fluid are enhanced so as to improve the resolution of time difference measurement and the precision and linearity of flow measurement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for measuring the volume flow of liquid fuel, in particular to a device and method for improving the accuracy stability and system reliability of fuel volume flow measurement. Background technique [0002] Ultrasonic flow measurement technology is one of the fastest-growing technologies in the field of flow measurement and control in recent years. The most notable feature is that its technology is expanding from general process control and water treatment applications to high-precision and trade measurement. In the trade measurement of natural gas and oil products, ultrasonic flow measurement devices have been more and more widely used in the application of large-diameter pipelines above DN100mm, and research on the application of high-precision ultrasonic flow measurement in smaller-caliber fuel metering settlements has begun to become the leading edge of technology. The biggest advantage of the ul...
