Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas Roots flow meter testing equipment, and in particular to a gas Roots flow meter starting flow tester. Background Technology

[0002] A gas Roots flow meter, also known as a gas rotary flow meter, is a type of volumetric flow meter. It contains two rotary wheels (Roots impellers) that rotate under the pressure difference of the gas being measured. Each rotation discharges a certain volume of gas. By measuring the number of rotations of the rotary wheels, the volume of gas passing through the flow meter can be calculated.

[0003] Gas Roots flow meters possess advantages such as high accuracy, good repeatability, low pressure loss, low starting flow rate, and wide rangeability, making them widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, and urban gas pipeline networks. They are particularly prevalent in urban gas metering. However, during the manufacturing process, the detection of the starting flow rate, a key performance indicator of gas Roots flow meters, has remained a challenging problem for the industry, impacting the manufacturing and development of gas Roots flow meters.

[0004] The starting flow index of a gas Roots flow meter directly affects the minimum flow parameters, range ratio parameters, and indication error parameters of the flow meter body, and even has a certain impact on the repeatability of the flow meter body.

[0005] Therefore, how to efficiently detect the starting flow rate of a gas Roots flow meter has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
