Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure flow meter comparison technology, specifically a pressure flow meter comparison device. Background Technology
[0002] Argon flow meters and CO2 flow meters are important components used in gas shielded welding. To ensure accurate pressure and flow indications and proper sealing of the gas flow meters, regular inspection and comparison are necessary. Since there are no specific national verification procedures or calibration standards, the domestic market offers standard devices for verifying critical flow flow meters, wet / dry gas flow meters (gas meters), small orifice plates, and other types of gas flow meters. Therefore, a pressure flow meter comparison device is needed.
[0003] The existing patent, CN220649723U, entitled "A Device for Judging Flow Meter Error," discloses a device for judging the error of a natural gas flow meter. Belonging to the field of flow meter testing technology, it solves the problems of existing natural gas flow meter calibration devices being complex to use, costly, and unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This utility model includes a frequency converter control box, a first pressure buffer tank, and a second pressure buffer tank. The frequency converter control box is connected to a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump, the first pressure buffer tank, and the second pressure buffer tank are connected sequentially by connecting pipes. The second pressure buffer tank is also connected to multiple detection pipes of different diameters. A comparison flow meter is installed on each detection pipe, and the comparison flow meter is connected to a balancing pipe. A standard flow meter is installed on the connecting pipe between the first and second pressure buffer tanks. This utility model, while ensuring accurate flow meter measurement data, makes testing more convenient and faster, reduces enterprise production costs, has wider applicability, and shortens the calibration cycle.
[0004] While ensuring the accuracy of flow meter measurement data, the above-mentioned device makes testing more convenient and faster, reduces the production cost of enterprises, has a wider range of applications, and shortens the calibration cycle. However, the operation process is relatively troublesome and errors are prone to occur during the process, which cannot well meet people's needs. In view of the above situation, we will carry out technical innovation on the basis of existing pressure flow meter comparison devices. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, a second valve is installed on the right side of the branch pipe, and the second valve is threadedly connected to the branch pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, a mass flow controller is installed on the right side of the second valve, and an output pipe is installed on the right side of the mass flow controller. The reading of the mass flow controller is compared with the reading of the flow meter under test, thereby completing the comparison and testing of the flow meter under test.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the groove and the insert are aligned with a quarter turn offset, the plug is inserted into the slot, and then the slot is rotated a quarter turn to slide the insert into the groove, which facilitates the connection between the comparison device and the flow meter being measured. By rotating the outer ring with the handle, the outer ring thread rotates and is fitted onto the inner thread seat, which tightens and fixes the groove and the insert, improving the sealing performance of the device. Valve one is opened and valve two is closed. The gas source flows in through the input pipe. The pressure value of the precision digital pressure display can be compared with the pressure value of the flow meter being measured. Then, valve two is opened to compare the value of the mass flow controller with the value of the flow meter being measured, thereby completing the comparison and testing of the flow meter being measured. The output pipe is connected to a temporary gas storage container such as a gas cylinder.
