Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of groundwater sampling technology, and in particular to a groundwater sampling flow control system. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of groundwater sampling technology, especially in VOC water sampling operations, relevant national standards clearly require that the sampling flow rate be controlled below 100 mL / min, and there are strict requirements for the accurate measurement and control of the flow rate.
[0003] The flow measurement and control in existing groundwater sampling devices are mostly crude designs, and float flow meters are commonly used for flow detection. These flow meters have poor measurement accuracy, making it difficult to achieve precise control of the sampling flow and failing to meet the national standards for VOC water sample collection. At the same time, float flow meters require manual reading of the scale to read the flow value, which cannot achieve real-time digital display of flow data and results in low operating efficiency. In addition, traditional flow meters lack the functions of cumulative flow recording and historical data storage, making it impossible to accurately record the well washing volume and well washing status before sampling, and making it difficult to grasp the actual situation of well washing operations; moreover, some flow meters have a contact structure, and groundwater samples are prone to come into contact with the flow meter pipeline, posing a risk of sample contamination.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the technical problems of low accuracy of existing groundwater sampling flow control, inability to display and record flow data in real time, and easy sample contamination, a groundwater sampling flow control system is provided to achieve accurate measurement and regulation of sampling flow, meet VOC water sample collection standards, and realize digital display, storage and export of flow data to avoid sample contamination.
