Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a stainless steel product, a magnetic induction flow meter, a field device and a method for producing the stainless steel product. Background Art

[0002] In automation, in particular process automation, field devices for capturing and / or modifying process variables are often used. In order to detect process variables, sensors integrated into, for example, level measuring devices, flow meters, pressure and temperature measuring devices, pH-redox potentiometers, conductivity meters, etc. are used to detect the corresponding process variables, such as level, flow, pressure, temperature, pH value or conductivity. Actuators (such as, for example, valves or pumps) are used to influence process variables. Thus, the flow rate of a fluid in a pipeline section or the level in a container can be changed by means of an actuator. In principle, all devices that are process-oriented and provide or process process-related information are referred to as field devices. Therefore, in conjunction with the present invention, "field device" also refers to remote I / O, radio adapters or electronic measuring components that are usually arranged at the field level.

[0003] The field device is in particular selected from the group consisting of a flow meter, a fill level measuring device, a pressure measuring device, a temperature measuring device, a limit level measuring device and / or an analytical measuring device.

[0004] The flow meter is in particular a Coriolis, ultrasonic, vortex, thermal and / or magnetic-inductive flow meter.

[0005] The level measuring device is in particular a microwave level measuring device, an ultrasonic level measuring device, a time domain reflectometry device, a radiation level measuring device, a capacitive level measuring device, an inductive level measuring device and / or a temperature sensitive level measuring device.

[0006] The pressure measuring device is in particular an absolute pressure device, a relative pressure device or a differential pressure device.

[0007] The temperature measuring device is in particular a measuring device having a thermocouple and / or a temperature-dependent resistor.

[0008] The limit level measuring device is in particular a vibrating limit level measuring device, an ultrasonic limit level measuring device and / or a capacitive limit level measuring device.

[0009] Analytical measuring devices are in particular pH sensors, conductivity sensors, oxygen and reactive oxygen species sensors, (spectro)photometric sensors and / or ion-selective electrodes.

[0010] Magnetic induction flowmeters are used to determine the flow rate and volume flow of a flowing medium in a pipeline. Here, a magnetic induction flowmeter in the pipeline and a magnetic induction flow measuring probe inserted into the side opening of the pipeline are used. The magnetic induction flowmeter has a device for generating a magnetic field, which generates a magnetic field perpendicular to the flow direction of the flowing medium. A single coil is usually used for this purpose. In order to achieve a uniformly dominant magnetic field, the pole shoes are additionally formed and attached so that the magnetic field lines extend substantially perpendicular to the horizontal axis or parallel to the vertical axis of the measuring tube over the entire pipe cross section. In addition, the magnetic induction flowmeter has a measuring tube on which the device for generating a magnetic field is arranged. The measuring electrode pairs attached to the side of the measuring tube tap a measuring voltage or a potential difference, which is applied perpendicular to the flow direction and is applied to the magnetic field, and the measuring voltage or potential difference occurs when the conductive medium flows in the flow direction when the magnetic field is applied. Since the tapped measuring voltage depends on the velocity and flow rate of the flowing medium according to Faraday's law of induction, and considering the known pipe cross-sectional area, the volume flow rate can be determined according to the induced measuring voltage.

[0011] Unlike magnetic-inductive flowmeters, which comprise a measuring tube for conducting the medium with an attached device for generating a magnetic field penetrating the measuring tube and measuring electrodes, magnetic-inductive flow measuring probes are inserted with their usually round cylindrical housing into the side opening of the pipeline and fixed in a fluid-tight manner. A special measuring tube is no longer necessary. The measuring electrode arrangement and the coil arrangement on the side of the measuring tube mentioned in the introduction are omitted and replaced by a device for generating a magnetic field, which is arranged inside the housing and directly adjacent to the measuring electrodes and is designed so that the axis of symmetry of the magnetic field lines of the generated magnetic field intersects perpendicularly with the front face or face between the measuring electrodes. In the prior art, there are already a variety of different magnetic-inductive flow measuring probes.

[0012] Magnetic-inductive flow meters are commonly used in process and automation engineering for fluids, starting from a conductivity of approximately 5 μS / cm. Corresponding flow measuring devices are sold by the applicant in a wide variety of embodiments for various fields of application, for example under the names PROMAG or MAGPHANT.

[0013] The use of enameled pipes and pipelines in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and in the drinking water supply is known. In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, pipes are coated with multiple layers of enamel to provide a protective layer that is sufficiently resistant to chemical corrosion. The material of the pipes is usually carbon steel, such as P 235 G1 TH. For the drinking water supply, cast iron pipes are used, which are only coated on the inside with a layer of enamel. The adhesion between the enamel coating and the carbon steel or cast iron is generally very good. When stainless steel is used, the application of enamel is generally not necessary. On the one hand, stainless steel itself is generally sufficiently corrosion-resistant, and on the other hand, the adhesion between stainless steel and enamel is very poor and is not suitable for most applications. Summary of the invention

[0014] The present invention aims to solve this problem.

[0015] This object is achieved by a stainless steel product according to claim 1 , a magneto-inductive flow meter according to claim 10 , a field device according to claim 11 and a method according to claim 15 .

[0016] The stainless steel product according to the present invention comprises:

[0017] - Stainless steel plate,

[0018] Wherein, an adhesion promoter is applied on the surface of the stainless steel plate.

[0019] The adhesion promoter comprises a Ni alloy, in particular a NiCr alloy, and / or a Co alloy, in particular a CoCr alloy.

[0020] Therein, an enamel coating is applied over an adhesion promoter.

[0021] The term "stainless steel" is governed by EN 10020 and is the name of alloy or non-alloy steel with a specific purity. For example, one requirement is that the sulfur and phosphorus content must not exceed 0.025% by mass.

[0022] As defined in the patent application, an adhesion promoter is an intermediate layer which ensures that the adhesion of a second coating applied to the intermediate layer is improved. The adhesion promoter is usually much thinner than the second coating to be joined (in this case the enamel coating).

[0023] Enamel refers to a mass of an inorganic composition, usually composed of silicates and oxides, produced in a largely glassy solid form by melting, fusing or sintering (which means a melting process that is interrupted shortly before complete melting). The mass is applied to a support material, sometimes together with additives, usually in one or more layers, and melted at high temperature for a short firing time, usually with the purpose of coating the support material. (See Enamel: Wikipedia, April 20, 2022 [online] https: / / de.wikipedia.org / wiki / Email [May 20, 2022]).

[0024] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are subject matter of the dependent claims.

[0032] An embodiment provides that the enamel coating, in particular with regard to the layer thickness, meets the requirements of ISO 28721-1 (2019-09).

[0033] ISO 28721-1 specifies the quality requirements for devices, assemblies, appliances and fittings made of enameled steel (including semi-crystalline enamel coatings) and cast steel for use in process plants.

[0034] One embodiment provides that the adhesion promoter is applied by a thermal spraying process (DIN EN 657), a powder spraying process or a cold gas spraying process.

[0035] One embodiment provides that the surface has an average roughness according to DIN EN ISO 4287:2010 , for this average roughness, the following conditions apply: ,in particular , and preferably .

[0036] The mean roughness is a measure of surface roughness that describes the unevenness of the surface height. The mean roughness represents the average distance from the measuring point to the center line of the reference distance. Surface roughness is standardized in EN ISO 25178 (2020).

[0037] The magnetic-inductive flow meter according to the invention for determining a flow rate-related measured variable of a flowable medium comprises:

[0041] - a magnetic field generating device for generating a magnetic field penetrating the measuring tube; and

[0042] - Device for tapping off the measuring voltage induced in a flowable medium.

[0043] When conducting measuring tubes are used, they must be protected from contact with conducting media by means of so-called bushings. Bushings are electrical insulators which cover the interior of the measuring tube and partly also the area of ​​the connecting body (e.g. flange). The use of enamel as bushing is already known from EP 60 87 93 A2 and DE 19 705 436 A1. However, the use of enamel as bushing in conjunction with measuring tubes made of or comprising stainless steel sheet is not known to date.

[0044] The use of Inconel tubes in MID applications is also known. US3750468A can be cited as an example. A disadvantage of using Inconel tubes is the magnetic properties of nickel. This can be reduced by mixing with chromium and carbon, but the reduction also depends on the operating temperature of the magnetic inductive flowmeter. According to the present invention, instead of using Inconel tubes, CoCr and / or NiCr alloys are provided as thin layers between the stainless steel plate and the enamel coating.

The measuring tube 7 also includes connection devices on the two end faces of the support tube. The connection device shown is a flange 17. However, a variety of alternative connection devices are also known.

The field device 10 can also be a thermocouple, which has a housing made of a stainless steel product according to the invention as housing.

[0082] Figure 4 Another embodiment of a field device according to the invention is shown. The field device shown is a magnetic-inductive flow measurement probe 30, which is arranged in a side opening of a pipeline in contact with the medium and is configured to determine the flow rate of the flowing medium. The magnetic-inductive flow measurement probe 30 comprises a measuring head 16 in contact with the medium and in which a magnetic field generating device 38 is arranged. The magnetic field generating device 38 comprises exactly one coil 33, a coil core 34 and a field guiding device.

The magnetic-inductive flow measuring probe 30 is an exemplary field device which has a measuring head 16 in contact with the medium and which includes a stainless steel plate according to the invention. Other field devices are known which have a measuring head in contact with the medium and which include, at least in some sections, a stainless steel product according to the invention.

[0084] Figure 5An embodiment of a field device according to the invention is shown. The field device shown is a vortex flowmeter 40. The universal vortex flowmeter 40 is described, for example, in "Durchfluss-Handbuch", 4th edition, 2003, ISBN 3-9520220-3-9, pages 103 et seq. or in EP1556670A1. The universal vortex flowmeter 40 is based on the fact that vortices are alternately shed from both sides of a bluff body 41 around which the fluid flows in a measuring tube 42, and form a so-called Kármán vortex street, wherein the vortices cause periodic pressure fluctuations, which are detected by a vortex detector 43. For a specific measuring device, the shedding frequency of the vortex is substantially proportional to the flow and the Strouhal number (dimensionless number). Therefore, the flow rate or volume flow rate can be ascertained in a simple manner by determining the vortex frequency.

During operation, the vibrating unit 51 excites mechanical vibrations by means of an electromechanical transducer unit, which in turn can be provided by, for example, a piezoelectric drive or an electromagnetic drive. It goes without saying that in addition to the examples described above, there are other possibilities that also belong to the invention.

[0086] Various corresponding field devices are manufactured by the applicant and distributed, for example in the case of fill level measuring devices, under the names LIQUIPHANT and / or SOLIPHANT. The underlying measuring principle is known from numerous publications. The excitation of the vibrating unit 51 can be performed using analog and digital methods and is usually performed via an analog electrical oscillation circuit. The electromechanical transducer unit excites the vibrating unit 51 to mechanically oscillate by means of an electrical excitation signal and receives the oscillations and converts them into electrical receiving signals. The electromechanical transducer unit therefore comprises separate drive and receiving units or a combined drive / receiving unit. In this case, the drive / receiving unit is part of a control circuit integrated into the electronic unit, which usually adjusts the excitation signal so that there is a predeterminable phase shift between the excitation signal and the receiving signal.
