Detailed Implementation

[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0025] This application provides a flow measurement method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: 101. Obtain a cross-sectional image of the fluid pipeline to be tested, and determine multiple feature points in the cross-sectional image.

[0026] Currently, for large-diameter pipe applications, fully inserted double-ended fixed flow meters are typically used for flow measurement. However, under high flow velocity conditions, the strength of fully inserted flow meters is often insufficient, and there are currently no large-size flow calibration devices available in China. This results in the inability to measure the flow rate of gaseous media under these conditions, which also affects the protection and control of the compressor.

[0027] To address this issue, this application proposes a flow measurement method that employs a combination of multiple flow meters and additional installation supports to measure the flow rate of gaseous media under high-velocity conditions in large-diameter pipes, thereby improving the flow meter's adaptability to high-velocity conditions. The implementing entity of this application can be a flow measurement system. This system relies on the computing power of a server to provide services to users. The server can be a standalone server or a server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDNs), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms, enabling accurate and efficient measurement of gaseous media flow rates through the flow measurement system.

[0028] Since a Pitot tube flowmeter can only measure the velocity at a single point in the flow field, and the actual velocity of fluid flowing in a pipe varies at different points on the same cross-section, this application, in order to accurately measure the flow rate, divides the large-diameter pipe cross-section into multiple equal-area units, and then inserts a Pitot tube flowmeter at the center of each unit area for flow measurement. The flowmeter device can consist of a flowmeter group, a differential pressure transmitter, and a conversion processing module. The conversion processing module processes the data measured by the flowmeter group and the differential pressure transmitter to obtain the actual flow rate of the medium in the pipe, thus achieving flow monitoring. In this embodiment, the flow measurement system acquires a cross-sectional image of the pipe containing the fluid to be measured and determines multiple feature points in the cross-sectional image. These feature points are determined based on the center position of the unit area. In this way, even when dealing with fluid in a large-diameter pipe, flow measurement can be performed using multiple determined feature points, avoiding errors in the measurement results caused by different flow velocities at different locations within the large-diameter pipe.

[0029] 102. Measure the flow velocity at each feature point using the target flow meter corresponding to each feature point to obtain the unit flow velocity value at each feature point.

[0030] After identifying multiple feature points, this application allows for the selection of pitot tube flow meters of appropriate sizes based on their locations. This effectively combines multiple pitot tube flow meters into a single averaging pitot tube flow meter, enabling more accurate flow measurement. In this embodiment, the flow measurement system uses the target flow meter corresponding to each feature point to measure the flow velocity at each point, obtaining the unit flow velocity value for each feature point. For high-velocity applications, this application considers both the material of the individual pitot tube flow meter and its installation support, selecting a flow meter for each feature point to ensure the flow meter's strength at high flow velocities while simultaneously achieving flow measurement in large-diameter, high-velocity pipes.

[0031] 103. Determine the multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters corresponding to each feature point according to the preset range, and process the multiple differential pressure values ​​output by the multiple differential pressure transmitters and the multiple pressure values ​​output by the multiple pressure transmitters using a conversion algorithm to obtain the target differential pressure value and target pressure value corresponding to each feature point.

[0032] During the flow measurement process, the pressure difference at different locations in the flow field can cause deviations in the measurement results. Therefore, to improve the accuracy of the measurement, this application employs multiple differential pressure transmitters and pressure transmitters with different ranges. In this embodiment, the flow measurement system determines multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters corresponding to each characteristic point based on a preset range. Next, the flow measurement system uses a conversion algorithm to process the multiple differential pressure values ​​output by the multiple differential pressure transmitters and the multiple pressure values ​​output by the multiple pressure transmitters to obtain the target differential pressure value and target pressure value corresponding to each characteristic point. The conversion algorithm can determine the differential pressure value or pressure value with the smallest error by calculating multiple differential pressure values ​​or multiple pressure values, so that the actual flow rate of the fluid pipeline under test can be calculated accurately and quickly.

[0033] 104. Obtain the temperature value of each feature point, and use the unit flow velocity value, temperature value, target pressure difference value, and target pressure value of each feature point to perform temperature and pressure compensation calculations to obtain the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point, and use the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point to determine the actual flow rate value of the fluid pipeline to be measured.

[0034] Since the density of a medium changes with temperature, it can affect the measurement of the fluid flow. Therefore, to offset the effects of temperature and pressure variations, this application performs temperature and pressure compensation calculations on the measured flow velocity, making the result closer to the actual flow rate. In this embodiment, the flow measurement system acquires the temperature value of each feature point and performs temperature and pressure compensation calculations using the unit flow velocity value, temperature value, target pressure difference value, and target pressure value of each feature point to obtain the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point. Then, the flow measurement system uses the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point to determine the actual flow rate of the fluid pipeline under test. That is, the calculated actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point is used as the average flow velocity of each area unit, and the actual flow rate of the entire fluid pipeline under test is calculated based on the area of ​​each area unit. This not only enables flow measurement of media with large diameters but also corrects for the effects of temperature and pressure on the measurement results, improving the accuracy of the measurement.

[0035] The method provided in this application embodiment acquires a cross-sectional image of the fluid pipeline under test, and determines multiple feature points in the cross-sectional image. It then uses a target flow meter corresponding to each feature point to measure the flow velocity at each feature point, obtaining the unit flow velocity value for each feature point. Based on a preset range, it determines multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters corresponding to each feature point. A conversion algorithm is used to process the multiple differential pressure values ​​output by the multiple differential pressure transmitters and the multiple pressure values ​​output by the multiple pressure transmitters to obtain the target differential pressure value and target pressure value corresponding to each feature point. The method also acquires the temperature value of each feature point, and performs temperature and pressure compensation calculations using the unit flow velocity value, temperature value, target differential pressure value, and target pressure value of each feature point to obtain the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point. Finally, it uses the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point to determine the actual flow rate of the fluid pipeline under test. By employing a combination of multiple flow meters and adding installation supports, the method measures the flow rate of gas media under high flow velocity conditions in large-diameter pipes, improving adaptability to high flow velocity conditions and enhancing measurement accuracy and precision.

[0036] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation methods of the above embodiments, and in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, this application provides another flow measurement method, such as... Figure 2A As shown, the method includes: 201. Obtain a cross-sectional image of the fluid pipeline to be tested, and determine multiple feature points in the cross-sectional image.

[0037] Because a Pitot tube flowmeter can only measure the velocity at a single point in the flow field, it cannot accurately measure the flow rate of gaseous media under high-velocity conditions in large-diameter pipes. Therefore, this application measures the flow rate at multiple locations within the pipe and then calculates the overall flow rate of the pipe based on these multiple values. In this embodiment, the flow measurement system acquires a preset segmentation rule, which is based on the principle of equal area. Next, the flow measurement system uses the preset segmentation rule to divide the cross-sectional image of the pipe containing the fluid under test, obtaining multiple measurement units. The flow measurement system divides the cross-section of the pipe into multiple measurement units of equal area according to the principle of equal area to determine the location of feature points. It should be noted that the number of measurement units obtained using the preset segmentation rule can be set using existing flow calibration devices based on the longest-sized flowmeter. Then, the flow measurement system determines the center position of each measurement unit and uses the center position of each measurement unit as its feature point, obtaining multiple feature points. By determining these feature points, the flow measurement system can determine the location of the flowmeter and measure the flow rate of gaseous media under high-velocity conditions in large-diameter pipes.

[0038] 202. Measure the flow velocity at each feature point using the target flow meter corresponding to each feature point to obtain the unit flow velocity value at each feature point.

[0039] To ensure the strength of the flowmeter, this application sets Pitot tube flowmeters at the feature points, combining multiple Pitot tubes into a single averaging pitot tube flowmeter. These multiple Pitot tube flowmeters can be calibrated separately in a calibration device, solving the problem of large-size flowmeters being uncalibrable. In this embodiment, for each feature point, the flow measurement system determines the flowmeter size information corresponding to the feature point based on the distance between the feature point and the wall of the fluid pipe, and uses the flowmeter size information to determine the target flowmeter corresponding to the feature point. Since each feature point is located at a different position in the fluid pipe, flowmeters of different sizes are needed to measure the flow rate at the feature point. Next, the flow measurement system acquires the parameter information of the target flowmeter, determines the first material information of the target flowmeter from the parameter information, and calculates the allowable stress value of the target flowmeter using the first material information. Considering the high-velocity operating conditions, it is necessary to ensure that the allowable stress of the flowmeter is greater than the comprehensive stress of the operating conditions. Therefore, this application calculates the allowable stress value based on the target flowmeter selected for each feature point. Subsequently, the flow measurement system acquires the comprehensive stress value of the pipeline under operating conditions and compares it with the allowable stress value.

[0040] If the allowable stress value is greater than the comprehensive stress value under operating conditions, it indicates that the allowable stress value of the target flowmeter material can adapt to the operating conditions, and no installation support is required. If the allowable stress value is not greater than the comprehensive stress value under operating conditions, it indicates that the allowable stress value of the target flowmeter material cannot adapt to the operating conditions, and the flow measurement system uses installation support to improve the adaptability of the target flowmeter and ensure strength under high flow velocities. Specifically, the flow measurement system obtains the preset installation support method and determines the first flowmeter identifier corresponding to the target flowmeter. The first flowmeter identifier is used to identify the target flowmeter. Next, the flow measurement system generates an installation reminder carrying the first flowmeter identifier and the preset installation support method, and obtains the measurement personnel corresponding to the fluid pipeline to be measured. Subsequently, the flow measurement system pushes the installation reminder to the measurement personnel so that they can identify the target flowmeter according to the first flowmeter identifier and install the target flowmeter according to the preset installation support method. The following describes the architecture of one type of flowmeter: like Figure 2B As shown, using the principle of equal area, the 4-meter pipe is divided into three equal area units, and flow meters 1, 2, and 3 are installed at the center of each equal area sector unit. The angle between flow meter 1 and the vertical line is 22.5 degrees, the angle between flow meter 2 and the vertical line is 45 degrees, and the angle between flow meter 3 and the vertical line is 67.5 degrees.

[0041] In this way, by installing supports to ensure that the allowable stress value of the target flowmeter is greater than the comprehensive stress value under operating conditions, the measurement accuracy of the target flowmeter can also be improved. It should be noted that, to improve measurement accuracy, two flowmeters can be installed at different positions at the center of each measured unit. Then, upon receiving installation feedback from the measurement personnel (i.e., successful installation), the flow measurement system will use the target flowmeters to measure the fluid velocity at the characteristic points, obtaining the unit velocity value of each characteristic point. Finally, the flow measurement system will use the target flowmeter corresponding to each characteristic point to measure each characteristic point, obtaining the unit velocity value of each characteristic point. Thus, the unit velocity value of each characteristic point is used as the characteristic point velocity of each measured unit, and the characteristic point velocity represents the average velocity of each measured unit, which is used for subsequent calculation of the flow rate of the fluid pipeline under test, improving the accuracy of flow measurement.

[0042] In an optional implementation, to ensure the adaptability of the flowmeter to various operating conditions, stress simulation studies can be conducted to verify the flowmeter's stress value, frequency range, and fatigue analysis, ensuring the flowmeter's strength under high flow velocities. Specifically, the flow measurement system calculates the allowable stress of the target flowmeter using parameter information, obtaining the target flowmeter's stress value. Next, the flow measurement system acquires the target flowmeter's frequency range value and performs fatigue analysis on the target flowmeter using the stress value and frequency range value, obtaining fatigue analysis results. These results include numerical values ​​indicating the target flowmeter's adaptability to operating conditions. Subsequently, the flow measurement system acquires a preset adaptation standard and verifies the target flowmeter using the fatigue analysis results.

[0043] If the fatigue analysis results indicate that the target flowmeter's adaptability to the operating conditions is lower than the preset adaptability standard, it means that the target flowmeter's strength is insufficient at high flow rates. In this case, the flow measurement system selects a flowmeter as a backup flowmeter from among multiple flowmeters corresponding to the flowmeter size information. The backup flowmeter has a different material information than the target flowmeter; that is, a flowmeter with a higher allowable stress value is selected to improve its adaptability to the operating conditions. Then, the flow measurement system determines a second flowmeter identifier corresponding to the backup flowmeter. This second flowmeter identifier allows the measurement personnel to select the backup flowmeter determined by the flow measurement system. Finally, the flow measurement system generates a replacement reminder carrying the second flowmeter identifier and pushes the replacement reminder to the measurement personnel, enabling them to select the backup flowmeter based on the second flowmeter identifier and replace the target flowmeter with the backup flowmeter. If the fatigue analysis results indicate that the target flowmeter's adaptability to the operating conditions is not lower than the preset adaptability standard, it means that the target flowmeter has sufficient strength at high flow rates, and therefore, it does not need to be replaced. In this way, the strength of the flow meter can be guaranteed by both the material of the individual flow meter and the installation and support method, so that the flow meter can accurately measure under high flow velocity and large operating conditions.

[0044] 203. Determine the multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters corresponding to each characteristic point according to the preset range.

[0045] To minimize the impact of pressure during measurement, this application employs multiple differential pressure transmitters and pressure transmitters with different ranges for measurement, ensuring accurate measurement even when the flow range of the measured item is too wide. In this embodiment, the flow measurement system acquires a first flow range value of the fluid in the pipeline to be measured, where the first flow range value is the flow range of the measured item, so that the range of the differential pressure transmitter and pressure transmitter can be determined through subsequent calculations. Next, the flow measurement system acquires fluid data information for each feature point and uses the fluid data information of each feature point to calculate the operating condition value of each feature point. For each feature point, the flow measurement system uses the first flow range value and the operating condition value of the feature point to calculate and determine the preset range corresponding to the feature point, where the preset range includes a first differential pressure range and a first pressure range, where the first pressure range is the calculated range of the differential pressure transmitter and the first pressure range is the calculated range of the pressure transmitter. Subsequently, the flow measurement system selects multiple differential pressure transmitters whose range falls within the first differential pressure range. For example, three differential pressure transmitters are selected for differential pressure measurement of the throttling device, and these three transmitters represent three different ranges. Similarly, multiple pressure transmitters with ranges within the second differential pressure range are selected. For instance, if the measured medium pressure range is 5-350 kPa, which is too large, three pressure transmitters can be selected for medium pressure measurement. Each differential pressure transmitter has a corresponding first transmitter range, and each pressure transmitter has a corresponding second transmitter range. This combination of multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters improves the accuracy of flow measurement.

[0046] 204. Use multiple differential pressure transmitters to measure the differential pressure at the characteristic point to obtain multiple differential pressure values, and use multiple pressure transmitters to measure the medium pressure at the characteristic point to obtain multiple pressure values.

[0047] In this embodiment, the flow measurement system acquires a first transmitter identifier corresponding to each of the multiple differential pressure transmitters, resulting in multiple first transmitter identifiers, enabling the measurement personnel to identify the multiple differential pressure transmitters based on the first transmitter identifiers. Next, the flow measurement system acquires a second transmitter identifier for each of the multiple pressure transmitters, resulting in multiple second transmitter identifiers, enabling the measurement personnel to identify the multiple pressure transmitters based on the second transmitter identifiers. Subsequently, the flow measurement system generates a setup reminder carrying the multiple first transmitter identifiers and multiple second transmitter identifiers. The flow measurement system identifies the measurement personnel corresponding to the fluid pipeline under test and pushes the setup reminder to the measurement personnel, enabling the measurement personnel to identify the multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters based on the multiple first transmitter identifiers and multiple second transmitter identifiers, and connect the multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters to the target flow meter. For example, three differential pressure transmitters are connected in parallel on their high and low pressure sides and then connected to a balancing pressure stabilizing vessel, which in turn connects to the high and low pressure sides of the target flow meter. The differential pressure transmitters measure the differential pressure value after equalization of the high and low pressure sides of the target flow meter. Finally, when the measurement personnel receive setup feedback, it indicates that they have completed the settings for multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters. The flow measurement system then acquires multiple differential pressure values ​​from the differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure values ​​from the pressure transmitters. In this way, by acquiring data from multiple differential pressure and pressure transmitters with different measurement ranges, the flow measurement system can reduce measurement errors and thus improve the accuracy of medium measurement.

[0048] 205. Using a conversion algorithm, process the multiple differential pressure values ​​output by multiple differential pressure transmitters and the multiple pressure values ​​output by multiple pressure transmitters to obtain the target differential pressure value and target pressure value corresponding to each feature point.

[0049] In this embodiment, the flow measurement system acquires a conversion algorithm. This algorithm determines the target differential pressure or target pressure value output by the differential pressure transmitter or pressure transmitter with the most suitable range among multiple differential pressure or pressure values. Next, the flow measurement system uses the conversion algorithm to calculate the multiple differential pressure values ​​and determines the target differential pressure value based on the first conversion result. Subsequently, the flow measurement system uses the conversion algorithm to calculate the multiple pressure values ​​and determines the target pressure value based on the second conversion result. Finally, the flow measurement system processes the multiple differential pressure and multiple pressure values ​​corresponding to each feature point using the conversion algorithm to obtain the target differential pressure and target pressure value corresponding to each feature point. In this way, the flow measurement system implements a conversion algorithm through a program to select the differential pressure value output by the differential pressure transmitter with the most suitable range and the smallest error from multiple differential pressure transmitters. This differential pressure value is used as the target differential pressure value for subsequent flow calculation of the fluid pipeline under test. The target pressure value is calculated in the same way. In this way, the flow measurement system further improves the measurement accuracy by performing further calculations and selecting the target differential pressure value and target pressure value from multiple differential pressure values ​​and multiple pressure values.

[0050] 206. Obtain the temperature value of each feature point, and use the unit flow rate, temperature value, target pressure difference value, and target pressure value of each feature point to perform temperature and pressure compensation calculations to obtain the actual unit flow rate value of each feature point.

[0051] To offset the impact of temperature and pressure changes on medium flow measurement, this application incorporates temperature and pressure compensation during the flow measurement process, making the final flow value closer to the actual flow rate of the medium in the pipeline. In this embodiment, the flow measurement system acquires the temperature value at each feature point. Then, the flow measurement system uses the unit flow velocity, temperature, target pressure difference, and target pressure value at each feature point to perform temperature and pressure compensation calculations. The temperature and pressure compensation calculation process is described below: like Figure 2CAs shown, the flow measurement system acquires the temperature of the medium in the field, and the acquired temperature value is under a 4-20mA condition. Next, the flow measurement system acquires pressure values ​​1, 2, and 3 from three pressure transmitters. Using a three-in-one conversion module, it selects the output value of the pressure transmitter with the most suitable range as the target pressure value, and then unifies the target pressure value to a 4-20mA output. Subsequently, the flow measurement system acquires differential pressure values ​​1, 2, and 3 from three differential pressure transmitters. Using a three-in-one conversion module, it selects the output value of the differential pressure transmitter with the most suitable range as the target differential pressure value, and then unifies the target differential pressure value to a 4-20mA output. Finally, the flow measurement system uses the temperature value, target pressure value, and target differential pressure value to perform temperature and pressure compensation calculations and displays the temperature compensation results.

[0052] Thus, the actual unit flow velocity value for each characteristic point is obtained through the above temperature and pressure compensation calculation process. It should be noted that the flow measurement system can unify the temperature value, target differential pressure value, and target pressure value to a 4-20mA output for temperature and pressure compensation of the flow rate. This allows the influence of the flow meter on the measurement results to be corrected when the actual operating conditions deviate from the design conditions, making the measurement results closer to the true flow rate value.

[0053] 207. Determine the actual flow rate of the fluid in the pipeline under test by using the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point.

[0054] In this embodiment, the flow measurement system acquires multiple test units obtained by dividing a cross-sectional image and calculates the area value of each test unit to facilitate subsequent flow velocity calculation for each test unit. Next, the flow measurement system multiplies the area value of each test unit with the actual unit flow velocity value of the corresponding feature point to obtain multiple first flow values ​​for the multiple test units. The actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point is used as the average flow velocity corresponding to each test unit. The average flow velocity multiplied by the area of ​​the corresponding test unit is the flow velocity through that test unit, i.e., the first flow value. Then, the flow measurement system sums the multiple first flow values, that is, it adds up the flow velocities of each test unit to obtain the actual flow value of the fluid in the test pipe. This allows for the measurement of gas medium flow under large-diameter, high-velocity conditions while ensuring the strength of the flow meter, improving adaptability to high-velocity conditions.

[0055] The method provided in this application embodiment acquires a cross-sectional image of the fluid pipeline under test, and determines multiple feature points in the cross-sectional image. It then uses a target flow meter corresponding to each feature point to measure the flow velocity at each feature point, obtaining the unit flow velocity value for each feature point. Based on a preset range, it determines multiple differential pressure transmitters and multiple pressure transmitters corresponding to each feature point. A conversion algorithm is used to process the multiple differential pressure values ​​output by the multiple differential pressure transmitters and the multiple pressure values ​​output by the multiple pressure transmitters to obtain the target differential pressure value and target pressure value corresponding to each feature point. The method also acquires the temperature value of each feature point, and performs temperature and pressure compensation calculations using the unit flow velocity value, temperature value, target differential pressure value, and target pressure value of each feature point to obtain the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point. Finally, it uses the actual unit flow velocity value of each feature point to determine the actual flow rate of the fluid pipeline under test. By employing a combination of multiple flow meters and adding installation supports, the method measures the flow rate of gas media under high flow velocity conditions in large-diameter pipes, improving adaptability to high flow velocity conditions and enhancing measurement accuracy and precision.

[0056] Furthermore, as Figure 1 To specifically implement the method, this application provides a flow measurement device, such as... Figure 3A As shown, the device includes: a determination module 301, a measurement module 302, a processing module 303, and a calculation module 304.

The system determines the first flow meter identifier corresponding to the target flow meter, generates an installation reminder carrying the first flow meter identifier, the preset installation support method, and obtains the measurement personnel corresponding to the fluid pipeline to be tested. The installation reminder is then pushed to the measurement personnel so that they can identify the target flow meter based on the first flow meter identifier and install it according to the preset installation support method. When installation feedback is received from the measurement personnel, the fluid velocity at the feature point is measured using the target flow meter to obtain the unit velocity value of the feature point.
