[0002] A liquid flow meter calibration device is used to verify and calibrate the performance of liquid flow meters. It tests the accuracy and stability of the flow meter by simulating fluid flow under different flow conditions. The main purpose of the calibration device is to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the flow meter in practical applications, especially in industrial production and experimental research, where the accuracy of the flow meter is crucial for flow control and measurement.

[0003] Since most liquid flow meter calibration devices in related technologies use a horizontal pipeline layout, this design cannot meet the calibration requirements of vertical pipelines for float flow meters. To complete the calibration of float flow meters, it is usually necessary to cut, modify, or construct the existing pipeline, which not only increases the complexity of operation but may also cause irreversible structural damage to the original equipment, limiting the versatility and flexibility of the device.

The fixed frame 500 is vertically arranged, and the first and second fixing structures are symmetrically arranged on the fixed frame 500. The first and second fixing structures are used to install the float flowmeter 300. The rear straight pipe 200 and the front straight pipe 400 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the fixed frame 500.
