5. The method for expanding the flow range of a low-temperature flow standard device based on variable frequency control according to claim 1, characterized in that: The specific verification steps of the extended result verification are as follows: The expected expanded flow range , 7 test points are evenly selected based on the logarithmic law; By using a Coriolis mass flowmeter to perform three repeated measurements for more than 120 seconds at each test point, the average value is taken as the actual flow value after eliminating transient data based on the Laida criterion. ; By formula Get the test point error index ,in, To allow absolute error; is the low temperature compensation factor; is the target flow value; When all test points meet the error index less than the preset threshold range, the expansion is determined to be successful, and the relevant parameters of the current frequency conversion controller are locked, including the frequency adjustment range, acceleration and deceleration; When there is When the error index of the test point is greater than the preset threshold range, it is determined to be a local correction, and the test point with error is automatically located and PID parameter iterative optimization is performed; When there are >3 test points with error indicators greater than the preset threshold range, the original settings are restored and the failure information is recorded to generate a log; after the verification is completed, all verification results are compiled into a standardized document and uploaded to the display terminal simultaneously.
