[0002] A flowmeter is an instrument that indicates the measured flow rate and / or the total amount of fluid within a selected time interval. Simply put, it is an instrument used to measure the flow rate of fluid in a pipeline or open channel. Flowmeters are further divided into differential pressure flowmeters, rotor flowmeters, throttling flowmeters, slit flowmeters, volumetric flowmeters, electromagnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, etc.;

[0003] When the flowmeter needs to be replaced, it is often necessary to separate the connecting flange of the flowmeter from the connecting flange of the pipeline to replace the flowmeter. However, currently, when replacing the flowmeter, a knocking method is often used to separate the pipeline from the flowmeter, which will generate an impact force on the pipeline during disassembly, posing risks of damaging the pipeline and potential injuries to personnel. It is inconvenient to expand the pipeline by static pressure. Therefore, a tool for replacing the expansion of a flowmeter pipeline is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] As shown in the attached Figure 2 、 3 As shown, the thread 4 on the outer surface of the screw rod 3 is threadedly connected with the inner cavity of the rotating rod 1. The insertion rod 6 penetrates through the middle of the screw head 2. By rotating the rotating rod 1, the screw rod 3 is controlled to extend out of the inside of the rotating rod 1, and the rotating rod 1 is conveniently rotated through the screw head 2.

Specifically, the control rod 6 is fixed and the screw 3 is rotated so that the screw 3 can be extended from the inside of the rotating rod 1 through the thread 4 in sequence until the desired length is reached;
