The size selection method of the flowmeter for gas (Engineering data)

Please use the page 2,3,4 of a catalog for selecting the size of the flowmeter for gas.
L/min(ntp) has shown on 1atm in AIR, and 20-degree C operation conditions as SCALE RANGES.
In an actual flowmeter, since a gaseous kind and pressure differ from temperature, please convert flow rate
and select size.

２７３．２＋Ｔ
Ｑ（AIR） ＝ Ｑ × ０．５１７ × ×γ （Ｆｏｒｍｕｌａ－１）
１０１．３＋Ｐ

Q(AIR) : AIR flow rate ( SCALE RANGE of the page 4 of a catalog m3/h(ntp) ）
Q : Design flow rate ( Volume flow rate L/min(ntp) , L/h(ntp) , ）
T : Design temperature (℃ ）
P : Design Pressure ( kPa(G) ）
γ : Gas density ( g/cm 3 ）

◇ The example of conversion calculation

The flowmeter to design

Fluid name : O2 Gas density 1.429 g/cm3
T : Design temperature 25 ℃
P : Design Pressure 200 kPa(G)
Flow rate : Max. flow rate 500 m3/h(ntp)

Even when the unit of pressure is MPa (G), please be sure to calculate by convert into kPa (G).
kPa (G) means gauge-pressure.

２７３．２＋Ｔ
Ｑ（AIR） ＝ Ｑ × ０．５１７ × ×γ
１０１．３＋Ｐ

（２７３．２＋２５）
＝ ５００ × ０．５１７ × × １．４２９
（１０１．３＋２００）

＝ ５００ × ０．５１７ × １．１８９２

＝ ３０７．４ （ ｍ３／（ｎｔｐ） ）

Please apply the converted flow rate to scale range of a catalog

In GMF, PGF , GNR.

In the case of hydrogen gas with small density, or helium gas

In the case of gas with a high temperature
It is important to select size according to the upper conversion type in the case of high-pressure gas.

Compensation Calculation For variable Area Flowmeters (Engineering data)

Variable area flowmeters theoretically involve indication error when the condition deviate from the design condition.
However, these errors can be compensated calculations.
The calculation procedure by fluid types are shown below.

◆ In case of Liquid measurement

The liquid density change from the design condition produces indication error.
True flow rate = Indicate flow rate × Compensation coefficient ( R )

Ｑ１ ＝ Ｑ０ × Ｒ

ρ０（ρｆ－ρ１）
Ｒ ＝
ρ１（ρｆ－ρ０）

R = Compensation coefficient

Q1 : True flow rate ( Volume flow rate m3/h , l/h , m3/min , l/min )
Q0 : Indicate flow rate ( Volume flow rate m3/h , l/h , m3/min , l/min )
ρ１: Actual liquid ( Density of an actual liquid g/cm3 )
ρ0 : Design liquid ( Density of an design liquid g/cm 3
)
ρf : Density of float ( Density of float g/cm3 )

◇ Compensation Calculation Example 1

Original design condition of flowmeter
Fluid name : Water Design density : 1.0 g/cm3 Viscosity : 1.0 mPa・s ( cP )
True process condition
Fluid name : Liquid (A) Density : 0.8 g/cm3 Viscosity : 1.0 mPa・s ( cP )
Indication of flowmeter : 1000 L/h

Ｑ１ ＝ Ｑ０ × Ｒ
ρ０（ρｆ－ρ１）
Ｒ ＝ ρ１（ρｆ－ρ０）

1.0 (7.9－0.8)
Ｒ ＝
0.8 (7.9－1.0)

＝ 1.134

Ｑ１ ＝ 1000 × 1.134

＝ 1134 ( L/h )

True flow rate of Liquid (A) = 1134 L/h

The same necessity has the viscosity of two kinds of liquids in the upper formula.

Compensation Calculation For variable Area Flowmeters (Engineering data)

◆ In case of Gas measurement

The pressure change from a design condition and temperature change produces indication error.
Density change of the gas from a design condition produces a indication error.
True flow rate = Indicate flow rate × Compensation coefficient ( R )

Ｑ１ ＝ Ｑ０ × Ｒ

(101.3＋P1) × (273.2＋T0) ρ０
Ｒ ＝ ×
(101.3＋P0) × (273.2＋T1) ρ１

R = Compensation coefficient

Q1 : True flow rate ( Volume flow rate m3/h(ntp) , l/h(ntp) , m3/min(ntp) , l/min(ntp) )
Q0 : Indicate flow rate ( Volume flow rate m3/h(ntp) , l/h(ntp) , m3/min(ntp) , l/min(ntp) )
ρ１: Actual Gas ( Density of an actual gas g/cm3 (ntp) at 1atm , 0 ℃ )
ρ0 : Design lGas ( Density of an design gas g/cm3 (ntp) at 1atm , 0 ℃ )
P1 : True pressure ( True operating pressure kPa(G) at gauge )
P0 : Design pressure ( Design pressure kPa(G) at gauge )
T1 : True temperature ( True operating temperature ℃ )
T0 : Design temperature ( Design temperature ℃ )

◇ Compensation Calculation Example 2

Original design condition of flowmeter
Fluid name : AIR Design density : 1.293 g/cm3 (ntp) Design pressure : 500 kPa(G) Design temperature : 20 ℃
True process condition
Fluid name : N2 Density : 1.250 g/cm3 (ntp) True pressure : 300 kPa(G) True temperature : 40 ℃
Indication of flowmeter : 1000 m3/h(ntp)

Ｑ１ ＝ Ｑ０ × Ｒ

(101.3＋P1) × (273.2＋T0) ρ０
Ｒ ＝ ×
(101.3＋P0) × (273.2＋T1) ρ１

(101.3＋300) × (273.2＋20) 1.293

＝ ×
(101.3＋500) × (273.2＋40) 1.250

＝ 0.7904 × 1.01705

＝ 0.80388

Ｑ１ ＝ 1000 × 0.80388

＝ 803.88 m3/h(ntp)

True flow rate of N2 = 803.88 m3/h(ntp)
