[0002] The balanced flow sensor is a multi-hole disc throttling rectifier installed on the cross section of the pipe. The size and distribution of each hole are customized based on special formulas and test data, called function holes.

[0003] When the fluid passes through the functional hole of the disc, the fluid will be balanced and rectified, the eddy current will be minimized, and an approximately ideal fluid will be formed. A stable differential pressure signal can be obtained through the pressure taking device, and the volume flow rate and mass flow rate can be calculated according to the Bernoulli equation.

[0004] Because the balanced flow sensor has the characteristics of porous structure, it can balance the flow field, reduce eddy current, vibration and signal noise, and greatly improve the stability of the flow field. The meter body adopts special precision pipelines and special pressure taking devices, which makes the accuracy 5-10 times higher than that of traditional throttling devices.

[0005] However, the existing balanced flowmeter is sensitive to upstream disturbances, and the turbulence and eddy currents in the upstream fluid will affect the measurement accuracy of the balanced flowmeter.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a balanced flow meter that is insensitive to upstream interference has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention
