Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil and gas acquisition and detection, and particularly relates to a liquid flow measurement mechanism and an analysis device. Background Art
[0002] In oil and gas fields, a metal cylindrical flow cell is used to analyze the actual situation of liquid media, so as to ensure the safety of oil and gas production and transportation.
[0003] However, the currently used metal cylindrical flow cell is integrally sealed. During the analysis operation, operators cannot determine the liquid level in the flow measurement cell and cannot judge whether the measurement probe is immersed in the liquid to be measured, resulting in distorted measurement data and prolonged measurement time. Moreover, since the metal cylindrical flow cell is directly connected to the process pipeline, the metal cylindrical flow cell is greatly affected by the flow rate of the liquid medium in the process pipeline. When the flow rate is too large, the liquid medium will overflow from the cover plate. When the flow rate is too small, the liquid medium in the metal cylindrical flow cell lags behind the liquid medium in the process pipeline, and even the liquid medium in the metal cylindrical flow cell dries up, resulting in the exposure of the measurement probe, causing inaccurate measurement results of the measurement probe. Content of the Utility Model
