Description

Technical Field

[0002] Accurate measurement of gas flow is widely needed in the fields of petroleum, natural gas, chemical industry, energy conservation, environmental protection, aerospace, etc. Some flow meters have a wide range of working conditions. For example, at the same mass flow rate, they may work under different stagnation pressure conditions. Conventional negative pressure or positive pressure gas flow calibration devices cannot fully meet the calibration requirements of some flow meters in terms of calibration flow capacity range, calibration accuracy, calibration working condition range, etc. The utility model patent with publication number CN104501917A discloses an ultra-large-caliber sonic nozzle group gas flow meter calibration device, which adopts the negative pressure sonic nozzle principle, but its calibrated meter is located upstream of the standard meter, and the calibrated pressure condition is only atmospheric pressure. The utility model patent with publication number CN 103791951A discloses a positive pressure standard gas flow meter and a positive pressure standard gas flow measurement method, and the calibrated meter can also only be located on one side of the standard meter. The above two types of sonic nozzle flow standard devices are greatly restricted in terms of flow range and calibrated pressure working condition range, and fail to fully utilize the capacity of the sonic nozzle standard meter. The utility model patent with publication number CN108444576 A discloses a parallel structure of a dual-gas flow standard device. The utility model adopts a combination of two flow standard devices of different principles to increase the flow range. This solution has high requirements on technology and cost, and the achievable calibration conditions are limited. It also cannot meet some actual calibration needs.

The device can calibrate the flowmeter in a wider pressure and flow working condition range. First, under the same calibration capability, the cost of the standard flow device is reduced. If the high and low pressure calibration sections are placed on the same side of the upstream or downstream of the sonic nozzle, more and larger sonic nozzles are required to meet the flow calibration requirements, reducing the demand for sonic nozzle standard tables and reducing the construction cost. Secondly, the calibration capability of the flow standard device is expanded; the high pressure calibration section can expand the calibration range by changing the pressure, and the low pressure calibration section is set downstream of the same group of sonic nozzle standard tables, further expanding the pressure working condition range of the calibration. Furthermore, the actual working condition of the flowmeter can be simulated for calibration, which improves the calibration accuracy of the flowmeter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments, but is not limited thereto. Any modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The present embodiment is described. In the present embodiment, a gas flow standard device with high and low pressure dual calibration sections is involved in the present embodiment, which includes a high-pressure gas source 1, a high-pressure stop valve 2, a high-pressure regulating valve 3, an adjustable flow valve 4, a high-pressure calibrated flow meter 5, a high-pressure calibration section 6, a stagnation container 7, a critical flow sonic nozzle standard meter 8, a branch stop valve 9, a low-pressure calibrated flow meter 10, a low-pressure calibration section 11, a low-pressure regulating valve 12, a low-pressure exhaust valve 13, a low-pressure stop valve 14 and a vacuum gas source 15. The outlet of the high-pressure gas source 1 is connected to the high-pressure stop valve 2, the high-pressure regulating valve 3, the adjustable flow valve 4, the high-pressure calibration section 6, the stagnation container 7, the low-pressure calibration section 11, the low-pressure regulating valve 12, the low-pressure stop valve 14 and The vacuum air source 15 is connected in sequence, and the high-pressure calibrated flowmeter 5 is arranged in the high-pressure calibration section 6; the critical flow sonic nozzle standard gauge 8 and the branch stop valve 9 are arranged in the stagnation container 7, the inlet of the critical flow sonic nozzle standard gauge 8 is connected to the upstream of the stagnation container 7, the outlet of the critical flow sonic nozzle standard gauge 8 is connected to the inlet of the branch stop valve 9, and the outlet of the branch stop valve 9 is connected to the inlet of the low-pressure calibration section 11; the low-pressure calibrated flowmeter 10 is arranged in the low-pressure calibration section 11, and the low-pressure calibrated flowmeter 10 is located upstream of the low-pressure regulating valve 12 and downstream of the branch stop valve 9; the inlet of the low-pressure exhaust valve 13 is connected between the low-pressure regulating valve 12 and the low-pressure stop valve 14. By using a set of critical flow sonic nozzles, the calibration requirements of high-pressure working conditions and low-pressure working conditions can be achieved. For the same flow point, the flowmeter can be calibrated under high-pressure working conditions and low-pressure working conditions respectively, realizing real-time calibration, which not only reduces the cost of the device but also expands the calibration capacity. When calibrating a low-pressure flowmeter, the calibrated low-pressure flowmeter 10 is installed in the low-pressure calibration section 11, located upstream of the low-pressure regulating valve 12 and downstream of the branch stop valve 9, and the upstream high-pressure calibration section 6 is connected by an equal straight pipe. Open the high-pressure stop valve 2, adjust the high-pressure regulating valve 3 and the adjustable flow valve 4 to change the mass flow in the pipeline to meet the flow calibration working condition; partially or fully open the downstream branch stop valve 9, and after the pressure in the stagnation container 7 is stable, the mass flow flowing out of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard table 8 is the calibrated mass flow; when calibrating a critical low-pressure flowmeter, the downstream low-pressure regulating valve 12 and the low-pressure stop valve 14 are fully opened to allow the airflow to flow into the vacuum air source 15. When calibrating a non-critical low-pressure flowmeter 10, it is necessary to adjust the downstream low-pressure regulating valve 12 so that the pressure before the calibrated flowmeter reaches the calibrated pressure working condition. Use the mass flow reserved in the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard table 8 to calibrate or verify the critical high-pressure flowmeter 10.

[0045] More specifically: the critical flow sonic nozzle standard gauge 8 includes five passages, the five passages are specifically a nozzle passage 81, a nozzle passage 82, a nozzle passage 83, a nozzle passage 84, a nozzle passage 85, and a branch stop valve 9, which are five and are connected to the downstream of the five passages respectively. The critical flow sonic nozzle standard gauge includes 23 Venturi sonic nozzles of the same throat diameter, which are divided into 5 passages. The first passage includes 1 sonic nozzle, the second passage includes 2 sonic nozzles, the third passage includes 4 sonic nozzles, the fourth passage includes 8 sonic nozzles, and the fifth passage includes 8 sonic nozzles. A branch stop valve 9 is installed downstream of each passage to control the on and off of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard gauge. By opening these passages in combination, the continuous opening of 1 to 23 nozzles can be achieved. For example, opening 13 nozzles can be achieved by opening 1, 4, and 8 nozzles of the first, third, and fourth passages. Therefore, the adjustment of the flow rate through the sonic nozzle standard meter can be achieved by opening different numbers of nozzles. In addition, by adjusting the adjustable flow valve, the stagnation pressure in front of the nozzle can be changed, and the mass flow rate through the sonic nozzle standard meter can be further changed. Therefore, the size of the gas flow through the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard meter can not only be adjusted by the number of branch stop valves opened, but also by adjusting the stagnation pressure in the stagnation container by the upstream adjustable flow valve.

[0046] More specifically: the high-pressure calibrated flowmeter 5 is located downstream of the adjustable flow valve 4 and upstream of the stagnation container 7. When calibrating the critical state high-pressure flowmeter, the calibrated high-pressure flowmeter 5 is installed in the high-pressure calibration section 6, located downstream of the adjustable flow valve 4 and upstream of the stagnation container 7, and the downstream low-pressure calibration section 11 is connected by an equal straight pipe. Open the high-pressure stop valve 2, adjust the high-pressure regulating valve 3, so that the pressure in front of the adjustable flow valve 4 is kept stable and high; adjust the adjustable flow valve 4 so that the pressure in front of the calibrated high-pressure flowmeter 5 reaches the calibration working condition pressure; partially or completely open the downstream branch stop valve 9 so that the mass flow rate flowing out of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard table 8 is equal to the calibrated mass flow rate; the downstream low-pressure regulating valve 12 and the low-pressure exhaust valve 13 are fully opened to allow the air flow to flow out. At this time, the mass flow rate reserved in the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard table 8 is used to calibrate or verify the critical type high-pressure flowmeter 5.

[0047] More specifically: the high-pressure calibrated flowmeter 5 is located upstream of the adjustable flow valve 4 and downstream of the high-pressure regulating valve 3. When calibrating a non-critical high-pressure flowmeter, the calibrated high-pressure flowmeter 5 is installed in the high-pressure calibration section 6, located upstream of the adjustable flow valve 4 and downstream of the high-pressure regulating valve 3, and the downstream low-pressure calibration section 11 is connected by an equal straight pipe. Open the high-pressure stop valve 2, adjust the high-pressure regulating valve 3, so that the pressure before the calibrated high-pressure flowmeter 5 reaches the calibration pressure condition; adjust the adjustable flow valve 4 to change the mass flow flowing in the pipeline to meet the flow calibration condition; partially or completely open the downstream branch stop valve 9, and after the pressure in the stagnation container 7 is stable, the mass flow flowing out of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard table 8 is the calibrated mass flow; the downstream low-pressure regulating valve 12 and the low-pressure exhaust valve 13 are fully opened to allow the airflow to flow out. At this time, the mass flow reserved in the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard table 8 is used to calibrate or verify the critical type high-pressure flowmeter 5.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] This embodiment is described in conjunction with Example 1. In this embodiment, a calibration method for a gas flow standard device having high and low pressure dual calibration sections involved in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 1: Calibrate the critical state high pressure flowmeter using the high pressure calibrated flowmeter 5;

[0051] Step 2: Calibrate the non-critical high-pressure flowmeter using the high-pressure calibrated flowmeter 5;

[0052] Step 3: Use the low-pressure calibrated flowmeter 10 to calibrate the low-pressure flowmeter.

[0053] A gas flow standard device with high and low pressure dual calibration sections and a calibration method can be used for the calibration and verification of high pressure working flow meters and low pressure working flow meters. The total mass flow rate flowing through the standard meter can be calculated by the following formula:

[0054]

[0055] In the formula, q m is the mass flow rate; C dn is the sonic nozzle discharge coefficient (n = 1 ~ 23); D is the nominal diameter of the sonic nozzle throat; C * is the critical quantity function; P 0 is the stagnation temperature; T 0 is the stagnation temperature; R is the universal gas constant, 8.31441 J / (mol·K); M is the molar mass of the gas, kg / mol.

[0056] A high-pressure calibration section is set upstream of the critical flow venturi nozzle standard meter to install flow meters of different sizes working under high pressure conditions. The gas flowing through the high-pressure calibrated flow meter can be measured and calibrated through the downstream critical flow sonic nozzle standard meter. The size of the calibrated flow meter in the high-pressure calibration section is relatively small, with a maximum pressure of 3-5MPa and a maximum diameter of 200mm.

[0057] A high-pressure calibration section is set downstream of the critical flow venturi nozzle standard table to install flow meters of different sizes working under low-pressure conditions. The gas flowing through the low-pressure calibrated flow meter can be measured and calibrated by the upstream critical flow sonic nozzle standard table. The maximum working pressure of the calibrated flow meter in the low-pressure calibration section can reach 1MPa, the minimum working pressure can be 0.05MPa, and the maximum diameter can reach 400mm. Through this technical solution, a set of sonic nozzle standard tables can be fully utilized to realize the calibration of flow meters with a wide pressure range and a wide size range.

[0058] More specifically: when calibrating the critical state high pressure flowmeter, the high pressure calibrated flowmeter 5 is installed in the high pressure calibration section 6, located downstream of the adjustable throttle valve 4 and upstream of the stagnation container 7, and the downstream low pressure calibration section 11 is connected by an equal straight pipe. At this time, the critical flow venturi nozzle standard table 8 downstream of the adjustable throttle valve 4 and the stagnation container 7 is in a critical state. According to the principle of flow conservation in the pipeline, in order to make the high pressure calibrated flowmeter 5 reach the critical state, the pressure P01 upstream of the throttle valve 4 needs to be high enough. At this time, the following formula is satisfied, so when P01 is high enough, adjust A1 and A3, but A2 reaches the critical point.

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] Open the high-pressure stop valve 2, adjust the high-pressure regulating valve 3, so that the high pressure P01 in front of the adjustable throttle valve 4 is maintained stably; adjust the adjustable throttle valve 4 so that the pressure in front of the high-pressure calibrated flowmeter 5 reaches the calibration working condition pressure P02; partially or fully open the downstream branch stop valve 9 to change the flow area A3, and also adjust the pressure P03 in the stagnation container 7, so that the mass flow rate flowing out of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard table 8 is equal to the calibrated mass flow rate; the downstream low-pressure regulating valve 12 and the low-pressure exhaust valve 13 are fully opened to allow the air flow to flow out. At this time, the mass flow rate reserved in the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard table 8 is used to calibrate or verify the critical type high-pressure flowmeter 5.

[0062] More specifically: When calibrating a high-pressure flowmeter in a non-critical state, the high-pressure flowmeter 5 to be calibrated is installed in the high-pressure calibration section 6, upstream of the adjustable throttle valve 4 and downstream of the high-pressure regulating valve 3. The downstream low-pressure calibration section 11 is connected by an equal straight pipe. Open the high-pressure stop valve 2 and adjust the high-pressure regulating valve 3 to make the pressure in front of the high-pressure flowmeter 5 to be calibrated reach the calibration pressure condition; adjust the adjustable throttle valve 4 to change the mass flow rate in the pipeline to meet the flow calibration condition; partially or fully open the downstream branch stop valve 9. After the pressure in the stagnation vessel 7 stabilizes, the mass flow rate flowing out of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard meter 8 is the mass flow rate to be calibrated; fully open the downstream low-pressure regulating valve 12 and the low-pressure exhaust valve 13 to allow the air flow to flow out. At this time, use the mass flow rate flowing out of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard meter 8 to calibrate or verify the critical type high-pressure flowmeter 5.

[0063] More specifically: When calibrating a low-pressure flowmeter, the low-pressure flowmeter 10 to be calibrated is installed in the low-pressure calibration section 11, upstream of the low-pressure regulating valve 12 and downstream of the branch stop valve 9. The upstream high-pressure calibration section 6 is connected by an equal straight pipe. Open the high-pressure stop valve 2 and adjust the high-pressure regulating valve 3 and the adjustable throttle valve 4 to change the mass flow rate in the pipeline to meet the flow calibration condition; partially or fully open the downstream branch stop valve 9. After the pressure in the stagnation vessel 7 stabilizes, the mass flow rate flowing out of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard meter 8 is the mass flow rate to be calibrated; when calibrating a critical type low-pressure flowmeter, fully open the downstream low-pressure regulating valve 12 and the low-pressure stop valve 14 to allow the air flow to flow into the vacuum source 15. When calibrating the low-pressure flowmeter 10 under non-critical positive and negative pressure conditions, it is necessary to adjust the downstream low-pressure regulating valve 12 to make the pressure in front of the flowmeter to be calibrated reach the calibrated pressure condition. At this time, it is necessary to turn on the vacuum source 15. Use the mass flow rate flowing out of the critical flow Venturi nozzle standard meter 8 to calibrate or verify the critical type low-pressure flowmeter 10.

[0064] Embodiment 3

[0065] This embodiment is described in combination with Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2.

[0066] 1) When calibrating a high-pressure flowmeter in a critical state, the high-pressure flowmeter 5 to be calibrated is located between the adjustable throttle valve 4 and the stagnation vessel 7. The actual state is similar to Figure 6 , the flowmeter to be calibrated is located at section A2, the adjustable throttle valve 4 is located at section A1, and the stagnation vessel 7 is the space in front of section A3. At this time, P01 > P02 > P03, A1 < A2 < A3, and A2 / A1 > k1, P01 / P03 > k2, where both k1 and k2 are values greater than 1; with the pipeline state set according to this area, as long as P01 is high enough, the flowmeter to be calibrated at section 2 can reach the critical state, that is, the sonic speed is reached at the throat. That is, it provides the ability to calibrate a critical flowmeter.

[0067] 2) When calibrating a non-critical high-pressure flowmeter, the high-pressure calibrated flowmeter 5 is located between the high-pressure regulating valve 3 and the adjustable flow valve 4. The actual state is similar to Figure 6 , the calibrated flow meter is located at section A2, and the adjustable flow valve 4 is located at section A1. At this time, A1>A2, A2<A3,P02≈P01> P03; According to the pipeline state set by this area, due to the throttling at section A1, the flow area at section A2 is larger, and section A2 can only be in a non-critical state. At this time, the ability to calibrate the critical flow flowmeter can be provided before section A1.

[0068] The flow quantities of the adjustable flow valve 4 and the critical flow venturi nozzle standard gauge 8 (at section 3) are both adjustable, which actually changes the area to match the pressure, further achieving a critical or non-critical state.
