The invention relates to an integrally formed
elbow flowmeter sensor and a
processing method, and the sensor is integrally and synchronously processed and formed by a single thick-wall seamless steel
pipe and comprises a 90-degree
elbow section and straight
pipe sections (15-55mm) at two ends. The outer surface of the bent
pipe section is machined into a 4-20-edge polyhedral structure, and the outer
diameter of the straight pipe section is matched with that of a standard pipeline. During manufacturing, an
elbow blank with a straight pipe section is firstly prepared, then the inner surface and the outer surface are synchronously and finely machined through a
machining center, and part of outer
ridge faces serve as positioning and curvature measuring references. And the
machining precision reaches IT6 level. According to tests, the qualified rate of finished products is increased to 98%, the pressure
bearing capacity is improved by 40%, the installation efficiency is improved by 50%, and the technical problems that in a traditional technology,
welding deformation exists, the size is enlarged, and precision is limited and installation is not convenient due to the fact that an integrally-formed straight pipe section does not exist are solved.
