DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in connection with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] As Figs. 1-3As shown, the present application provides a high-pressure loop natural gas flowmeter calibration device, comprising: a heat circulation assembly 1 for keeping the gas flow in the pipeline stable temperature and continuous circulation, a first measurement assembly 2, a second measurement assembly 3, a submission assembly 4 for judging whether the submitted flowmeter is accurate, and a first approval 5, the first measurement assembly 2 comprises a first measurement unit 21 for measuring the flow of large-diameter pipeline and a first pipeline unit 22, the first measurement unit 21 communicates with the first pipeline unit 22, the second measurement assembly 3 comprises a second measurement unit 31 for measuring the flow of small-diameter pipeline and approving the first measurement unit 21, and a second pipeline unit 32, the heat circulation assembly 1 communicates with the first pipeline unit 22 or the second pipeline unit 32, the second measurement unit 31 communicates with the second pipeline unit 32, and when the first pipeline unit 22 and the second pipeline unit 32 are communicated, the accuracy of the first measurement unit 21 is approved, wherein the large-diameter pipeline is 150-500 mm, the small-diameter pipeline is 80-150 mm, one end of the submission assembly 4 communicates with the first pipeline unit 22 or the second pipeline unit 32, the other end of the first approval 5 communicates with the submission assembly 4 to approve whether the flowmeter on it is accurate, and the other end of the first approval 5 communicates with the heat circulation assembly 1. Through the heat circulation assembly 1, the natural gas can be kept stable temperature and continuously circulated in the pipeline, thereby avoiding the dependence on other natural gas pipeline to continuously supply gas to the device, that is, even if there is no other natural gas pipeline to continuously supply gas, the device can also continuously circulate the gas to the large-diameter first pipeline unit 22 or the small-diameter second pipeline unit 32 under the power provided by the heat circulation assembly 1, realizing the verification of the first measurement unit 21 to the flow of the large-diameter first pipeline unit 22, or the second measurement unit 31 to the flow of the small-diameter second pipeline unit 32. Wherein, the heat circulation assembly 1 communicates with the first pipeline unit 22 or the small-diameter second pipeline unit 32 through the second oil pipe B, when measuring the fuel flow in the large-diameter first pipeline unit 22, the heat circulation assembly 1 communicates with the first pipeline unit 22 through the second oil pipe B, at this time, the channel of the second oil pipe B communicating with the second pipeline unit 32 is closed, and the first pipeline unit 22 communicates with the submission assembly 4 through the first oil pipe A. When measuring the fuel flow in the small-diameter second pipeline unit 32, the heat circulation assembly 1 communicates with the second pipeline unit 32 through the second oil pipe B, at this time, the channel of the second oil pipe B communicating with the first pipeline unit 22 is closed.

[0029] It should be noted that the heat cycle assembly 1 needs to adjust the temperature of the natural gas in the pipeline to the required temperature for calibration and stabilize, and then collect and process the calibration data of the flow meter. Specifically, when it is necessary to calibrate with the device, the high-pressure ring channel can be raised to the required pressure for calibration by using a storage tank or a booster pipeline connected to the high-pressure natural gas pipeline. When the storage tank or the high-pressure natural gas pipeline is removed, the device can still make the gas in the pipeline flow through the heat cycle assembly 1, without the need for other gas conveying devices to continuously convey gas, and can also achieve calibration of the gas in the pipeline, thereby making the entire scheme simpler. In addition, when a large-diameter pipeline is used, the first measurement unit 21 can calibrate the flow in the first pipeline unit 22. At this time, the heat cycle assembly 1, the first pipeline unit 22, the inspection assembly 4, and the first approval member 5 are sequentially connected, wherein the flow meter sent by the inspection assembly 4 is compared with the first measurement unit 21 to confirm whether the flow meter is accurate. If there is a difference, the first measurement unit 21 is compared with the first approval member 5, and if there is no difference, it is proved that the first measurement unit 21 accurately calibrates the flow in the pipeline, and the flow meter has an error. If there is a difference, the first measurement unit 21 needs to be reset, and the above calibration process needs to be performed again. When a small-diameter pipeline is used, the second measurement unit 31 can calibrate the flow in the second pipeline unit 32. At this time, the heat cycle assembly 1, the second pipeline unit 32, and the inspection assembly 4 are sequentially connected, wherein the flow meter sent by the inspection assembly 4 is compared with the calibration member on the second measurement unit 31 to confirm whether the flow meter is accurate. If there is a difference, the calibration member on the second measurement unit 31 is compared with the calibration member on the second measurement unit 31, and if there is no difference, it is proved that the second measurement unit 31 accurately calibrates the flow in the pipeline, and the flow meter has an error. If there is a difference, the second measurement unit 31 needs to be reset, and the above calibration process needs to be performed again. Further, when the first pipeline unit 22 and the second pipeline unit 32 are connected, the first measurement unit 21 needs to be detected to confirm whether the first measurement unit 21 is accurate to confirm whether the calibration flow result is accurate. Specifically, whether the total flow of several pipelines on the second pipeline unit 32 detected by the second measurement unit 31 is the same as the flow of one pipeline on the second pipeline unit 32 detected by the second measurement unit 31 is compared. If they are the same, it is proved that the first measurement unit 21 is accurate. If they are not the same, it is not accurate, and the first measurement unit 21 needs to be reset and the above process needs to be repeated.
