    摘要: A device for determining a flow rate of a fluid flow, includes a fluid chamber configured to receive a portion of a fluid from the fluid flow, through an inlet fluid port. Further, the device includes a membrane configured to deform in response to the receipt of the portion of the fluid into the fluid chamber. The device further includes a sensor provided in a second chamber provided adjacent to the membrane on a side opposite to a side of the fluid chamber. The sensor is configured to detect deformation of the membrane and generate an input signal associated with the detected deformation of the membrane. Also, the device includes an electronic circuit board operatively coupled to the sensor. The electronic circuit board is configured to receive the input signal from the sensor and provide an output signal in correlation with the flow rate of the fluid flow.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein relate to a flow meter assembly. The inline flow meter assembly includes a housing, an elongated flow member, and a piston. The housing includes a fluid passage. The elongated flow member has a shaft portion and an opposite fluid flow portion. The fluid flow portion has an outer peripheral surface. The shaft portion is coupled to the housing. The piston has a plate. The plate has a plate orifice. The piston and the plate move axially between a no flow position where the outer peripheral surface of the fluid flow portion is engaged with the plate orifice to prevent a fluid flow and a full flow position where the outer peripheral surface of the fluid flow portion is disengaged with the plate orifice such that the fluid flow enters the plate orifice and passes through the fluid passage in the axial direction of movement of the piston.

    摘要: A flow measurement assembly that includes a production string and a flow meter fluidically coupled to the production string. The flow meter includes a variable Venturi tube attached to and configured to flow production fluid received from the production string. The variable Venturi tube includes an end fixed to the production string and at least one Venturi throat. The flow meter also includes an actuator configured to move the variable Venturi tube with respect to the fixed end. The flow meter includes a processor communicatively coupled sensors coupled to the variable Venturi tube. The processor determines, based on a first fluid parameter and the second fluid parameter received from the sensors, at least one of a mass flow rate of the production fluid, a density of the production fluid, a viscosity of the production fluid, or a coefficient of discharge of the production fluid.

    摘要: An engine exhaust flow meter and method of measuring engine exhaust flow rate includes a flow tube and a differential pressure meter that is adapted to measure differential pressure in exhaust flow through the flow tube. A computer samples the differential pressure meter at a rate that is greater than the pulsation of exhaust flow to obtain a differential pressure signal. The computer is responsive to the differential pressure signal to compute a mean differential pressure value. The computer is responsive to the differential pressure signal to compute a mean magnitude of pressure pulses. The computer determines a compensation factor as a function of the mean magnitude of pressure pulses and adjusts the mean differential pressure value as a function of the compensation factor to obtain an engine exhaust flow value that is flow pulsation compensated.

    摘要: This disclosure pertains to a system and method configured for detecting fluid flow of a conduit. The method and system include using a flow sensor configured to sense fluid flow energy through the conduit, and a spectral processor in communication with the flow sensor. The spectral processor determines a spectral energy curve (SEC) of the fluid flow by obtaining, utilizing the flow sensor, raw flow data for the conduit and determining the SEC of the fluid flow energy. The method and system for determining fluid flow includes isolating, utilizing the SEC of the fluid flow energy, a flow-born energy of the conduit from an airborne environmental energy of the conduit, and a structural-born energy of the conduit, and detecting fluid flow based on the flow energy of the conduit.

    摘要: A subsea flow meter assembly includes a pipe section extending in an axial direction and providing a flow path for a medium. At least four measuring ports are provided at different locations in the pipe section. A first assembly measures at least a differential pressure between a first and second ports and an absolute pressure at one of the ports. A second assembly measures a differential pressure between a third and a fourth ports, and an absolute pressure at one of the ports. A first measuring unit is used to take measurements of the differential pressure and the absolute pressure via the first sensor assembly. A second measuring unit is used to take measurements of the differential pressure and the absolute pressure via the second sensor assembly. An evaluation unit of each determines a flow rate of a flow of medium through the pipe section based on the measurements.

    摘要: Provided is a wide-range diaphragm gas meter, comprising a machine core. The machine core comprises a diaphragm chamber, two diaphragms, two diaphragm covers, a valve cover, and a four-axis rotational system. The diaphragm chamber comprises a valve seat and two measuring chambers, and the two diaphragms are located in the two measuring chambers respectively. Each of the diaphragms is connected correspondingly to the four-axis rotational system. A vertical shaft is fixedly connected to one end of a rotating bar, the other end of the rotating bar is hinged to one end of a connecting bar, and the other end of the connecting bar is hinged to a crank. The central shaft of the crank is a third rotating shaft. A central crankwheel is arranged on a central shaft. The valve cover and the central crankwheel are coaxially arranged.
