AI Technical Summary
Existing vortex flow meters cannot easily replace probes under the pressure of the medium inside the pipeline, and there is a risk of leakage, especially under high temperature, high pressure and toxic or harmful media conditions.
A structure including a set screw, a sealing sleeve, an O-ring, and a guide assembly was designed. The set screw pushes the sealing sleeve to move, thereby isolating the probe from the medium. The O-ring and dynamic sealing ring are used to seal the probe and ensure no leakage during replacement.
This technology enables online probe replacement without interrupting production, preventing media leakage, ensuring normal pipeline operation, and minimizing economic losses.
