Precautions for orifice plate installation

Precautions for orifice plate installation
Jul 08, 2022
Author: DEAR AST

In order to ensure the reading accuracy of orifice flowmeter, the installation of orifice flowmeter should pay attention to the following points: the installation position of orifice should be in the straight pipe section, and there should be no protruding plastic, welding marks and dirt in the pipe with a distance of ten times the pipe diameter in front of the orifice and five times the pipe diameter behind the orifice. The installation direction of the orifice plate should not be mistaken, and the sharp edge of the inlet should correspond to the flow direction of the fluid; The center of the orifice plate must coincide with the center of the pipe. The orifice plates of different fluids cannot be installed incorrectly, because the coefficient K in the flow calculation formula is related to factors such as fluid density.

In June 2016, the fifth air separation plant KDON (AR) 30000/70000-900 of Kaifeng DEAR air separation plant for Hebei Anfeng iron and Steel Co., Ltd. was successfully started up at one time, and qualified oxygen and nitrogen products were successfully debugged. The output and purity of the products reached and exceeded the technical indicators required by the contract. After more than two months of normal operation, in September 2016, the argon system was put into operation and the argon indicators were tested to meet the standards, and the argon output was stable at 950nm ³/ H above, the purity is greater than 99.999%. Win users' praise again.

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
